Tips On Improving The Appearance Of Your Home For Sale
First appearances are vital when putting your property to the market. Some simple suggestions to increase the value of your home follow.
Atmosphere
It's quite simple to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for your Open House days.
- Remove unnecessary items of furniture and personal effects. Reducing clutter makes a home look more open and feel more inviting.
- Clean all surfaces thoroughly , paying particular attention to kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.
- Open windows and doors to let the breeze through, and keep curtains and blinds open to let as much natural light as possible filter in. If it is an overcast day, it may be advisable to turn on a few lights.
- Bright fresh flowers or decorator items will do much to enhance your home's emotional appeal.
- Make sure each room is odour-free as this can have a profound effect on buyer sentiment. Steam clean & deodorise carpets and pet areas if necessary.
Exterior
Make sure that gardens are tidy, lawns mowed, trees and hedges trimmed. Sweep the paths and patios and ensure that loose items such as garbage bins, children's toys, bikes, lawnmowers, hoses etc are safely put away.
Minor repairs
Now is the time to take care of those squeaky hinges, leaky taps, mould and damp spots, broken fence palings etc. Buyers are very fussy creatures and little quibbles can attract unnecessary attention.
A fresh coat of paint can dramatically improve a home's appearance, both inside and out.
Such small repairs might cost you only a small amount but can make a much bigger impact on the final price.
We would be happy to consult for any minor repairs and have a maintenance crew ready to be employed.
Please consult with your agent before embarking on any renovations or home improvement projects.
