Preparing Your House
Most buyers are generally looking for a home they can initially move straight into with the minimum amount of fuss. Buyers will be guided by their intuition and feelings about a property.
In order to maximise the final sale price of your home there are a number of steps you can take to achieve this:
First Impressions- Make sure your garden or entrance way is neat tidy especially the front door. A simple hanging basket and clean light fittings can help make that first impression.
- Freshen Up Those Colours and Shades- Your bright purple bedroom may not be to everyone’s taste. Opt for neutral paintwork and complimentary colour schemes even if it means a quick repaint or freshen-up job.
- De-clutter- Have a tidy up- Less is more- smaller properties can benefit most from the removal of non-essential furniture and items making rooms appear more spacious.
- Smells and Odours- Give your home a good ‘spring clean’. Freshen up carpets and fabrics especially if you have pets. Arrange an alternative location for your pets when viewings are scheduled. Remove dog baskets, litter trays, cages and food bowls. A couple of simple flower displays will brighten up the public rooms and add that extra fragrance.
- Bills and Repairs- Gather together a collection of your most recent bills as a keen buyer will want an indication of how much it costs for heating and hot water. Had any alterations or work done? Is the work still under guarantee? Get all the evidence together to confirm your house has been well maintained and cared for.
The above advice can make your house more desirable, increase the final sale price and reduce the time it takes to secure a sale.
