When buyers are looking for a new home, you want to do everything you can to show them your property's potential. Helping them to picture themselves living in your home not only means you receive better offers, but that you sell more quickly too. Here we share our top tips to prepare your home for sale:
Buyers can often struggle to see past heaps of furniture and personal items, and they can make a room look small. Consider renting some external storage space to house items until you move. But try to strike a balance - remember people often buy a lifestyle. Try and show your home at its best.
Try to step back and look at your home objectively. Right now, selling your house - and not your attachement to a particular wallpaper design - is the priority. Consider if areas can be tidied by a quick lick of paint. Don't go overboard though - it's good for property's to show some personality, rather than feel like empty white boxes. A splash of colour to one feature wall can be really effective.
Buyers will often drive past a property to rate its curb appeal before they express any interest. Tidy up the garden or driveway, clean the windows, and give the front door a spruce with some fresh paint.
Small outstanding repairs can be easy to ignore when you see them every day, but when a buyer comes to look around your property they can make the place look really tired. Look around every room in your house, make a list of quick fixes and get them sorted.
