Get your home ready…
You’ll want to spend some time de-cluttering and making your home look as presentable and attractive as possible, so that as soon as you’ve instructed us as your agent and we can get straight to work.
An important note on photography – today’s technology can produce extremely high-resolution images, videos, and virtual tours, which is great. But be mindful that you don’t reveal more of your home than you should. Private documents, medical papers, financial information, or anything that reveals personal information about you should be kept out of view.
Here are some ideas to make your home look amazing when it’s on display:
- Make it light and airy
Darker rooms generally look smaller than lighter ones, and this can be a big turn off for potential buyers. So we’d suggest making sure that blinds are open, and curtains are apart, to flood your home with light.
- Keep the garden tidy
The front garden is the first thing that a potential buyer will see, so make sure that you give them a reason to smile straight away.
Similarly, the back garden can be a deal clincher, and an impressive outdoor space could set your home apart from the rest. Here are some suggestions for things to tick off your list:
- Bathrooms and kitchens
These two rooms are the most expensive for a buyer to upgrade. However, if you’ve made an effort to clean and declutter them, you’ll be giving potential buyers another reason to be positive about your home. So, here are some of our top tips:
Bathroom:
- Making this room mould-free is a must
- Store toiletries away where possible
- Clean shower doors
- Keep the toilet seat down
Kitchen:
- Keep worktops tidy
- Keep utensils organised and food in cupboards
- Put washing up away
- Clean the windows
- Tidy away any indication of pets being in the house, as your prospective buyer may not be a pet lover
