Tips for presenting your home for sale
Clean, tidy, well-maintained
Give the property a good clean, inside and out, to make it appear more liveable.
A cluttered property will limit your chances of finding the right buyer. Clear rooms of excess items so buyers can see them.
A property that appears well-cared for is more valuable than one that has been run down, so it’s worth getting any small items fixed before sale.
Background music
Background music is known to influence people’s behaviour, particularly consumers’ behaviour. Put on light classic music at your next inspection will make buyer relax and stay longer in the property.
Light, Space & fresh
Less is more. A room crowed with furniture will only make it look smaller.
Increase the sense of space with mirrors and lights and leave all internal doors open.
Get rid of smoke or pet odours. Open the windows, brew some fresh coffee, and brighten the place up with fresh flowers.
Garden
Many buyers are looking for a garden but not a lot of work. Make sure your garden is not overgrown. A good looking, neat and tidy garden will add value.
Warm feeling
Create warmth by preparing your home to suit the temperature of the day. If it’s cold, light fires, turn on patio heaters and heating. If it’s hot, turn on fans and cooling systems.
