Make a Great First Impression
Most buyers form their first impressions within seconds. If you have a front garden, spend a little time sprucing it up. This can make a big difference to your property’s kerb appeal.
Fix Any Damage
Get your home looking its best and take care of any cosmetic repairs - including painting over scratches or stains on the walls. A few simple repairs could help your home to achieve a polished look.
Clear Worktops & Declutter
Cluttered rooms can be an immediate turn off for some property buyers. Take some time to clean each room from top to bottom paying special attention to high-impact rooms such as kitchen and bathroom.
Add a Lick of Paint
Neutral colours are appealing to house buyers, and a fresh coat of paint will brighten up your home, allowing would-be buyers to envisage themselves living in the space.
Do Some DIY
Simple maintenance jobs such as filling holes in your walls and clearing guttering of any blockages are easy to do and make a big difference. Getting things fixed will reduce negatives turning up on the survey.
Think About Your Pets
Potential buyers may be allergic so make sure they are confined to one room or not in the home during the viewing. Alternatively, leave them with a friend or family member to keep the focus on your home.
