Helpful Hints for Selling your Property
First impressions count. So in order to help sell your property we recommend the following:
- Kerb appeal- You only make one first impression so the front of your house can be vital. Just small things such as planting flowers, repainting the front door/house numbers all create the right feeling.
- Carry out any repairs- cracked tile/broken fence? You do not want to send potential buyers the wrong message.
- Taking the time and making the effort to thoroughly Spring clean your house from will pay dividends
- Think about De-cluttering. This can be difficult as this may involve removing memories, hobbies or valuables. However, if you want to sell your home buyers need to be able to visualise living in the property. Clutter can make homes seem smaller and disorganised. Try and remove anything which buyers wouldn’t be able to relate to.
- Neutralise – neutral colours can sell your home better. Potential buyers want to imagine themselves as owners. Try not to put them off by using strong styles or colours.
- Define each area – buyers need to know what each room is for to help them decide where to place their own belongings.
- Create the right atmosphere – try to make sure you have ample lighting in every room. Use subtle mood lighting to create the right atmosphere and accessories to enhance your rooms thus creating a feeling of harmony. Mirrors are excellent as they reflect light and space. Plants/Flowers help to introduce a natural fragrance and brighten up a room.
- For maximum selling potential our agent can advise you of any alterations, additions or changes to help obtain the best price for your property.
