Preparing your property for sale, is an important process to help you attract potential buyers and achieve the best possible sale price. We’ve put together some key steps to consider when photos are being taken and viewings are being carried out.
Clean and Declutter:
Before anything else, thoroughly clean your property and declutter each room. Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that makes the space feel cramped or messy. A clean and clutter-free environment is more appealing to buyers.
Think about your décor:
Neutral colours and decor choices can appeal to a wider range of buyers. If your walls are painted in bold or unusual colours, consider repainting them in neutral tones.
Repair and Minor upgrades:
Make any necessary repairs and perform maintenance tasks. Fix leaky taps, squeaky doors/floorboards, and any visible signs of wear and tear. Buyers are often put off by properties that appear neglected. This could also include touching up paint work, replacing outdated light fixtures, or installing new taps
Maximise Curb appeal:
First impressions matter. Ensure the exterior of your property is well-maintained. This includes trimming bushes, mowing the lawn, cleaning the driveway, and perhaps adding some potted plants or flowers to the front entrance.
Depersonalise:
You may want to remove personal photographs and unique art pieces from walls and shelves. The aim is to help potential buyers envision themselves living in the space.
Furniture Placement:
Arrange furniture in a way that makes rooms appear spacious and inviting. Ensure that traffic flow is easy and that the layout highlights the room's potential functionality; if we’re saying it is a bedroom. do we need to put a bed in?
Natural Light:
Open curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible. Adequate lighting can make rooms feel more inviting.
