Highlight all of your property strengths.
Dilute the weaknesses and transform your property into the most desirable home on the market.
Get rid of clutter.
Ask yourself what you can live without. Lose excess furniture and pack all non essential possessions. Your property will look so much bigger for it. Remember less is more.
Let the light In.
Natural light can brighten a space and make a room feel much larger. Open any curtains as wide as possible. Lift all blinds. Clean those windows until they sparkle.
Make an entrance.
First impressions count so create a welcoming entrance for your guests. Wash that front door. Clean any steps. Change that doorbell battery. Replace any tatty door mats. Keep the porch light on in the evenings for viewers and potential viewers as it makes the property look more inviting. Your efforts will pay off.
Boost curb appeal.
Before viewing your home many people will do a quick drive by first. Make sure your home is ready to lure in those viewers. Power wash driveways and paths. Plant colourful flowers and foliage in pots and borders. Mow that lawn. Show off that parking and move your vehicle somewhere else. Wash windows and doors. Repaint any woodwork or masonry if it is looking tired.
Clean like you have never cleaned before.
Think show home. Make solid floors shine. Windows gleam. Bathrooms dazzle. Every surface should sparkle. If you have a busy schedule, large property or just hate cleaning you could hire professional cleaners.
Give all rooms a purpose.
Stop using that spare bedroom as a dumping ground for boxes of junk. Each room should have a clearly defined purpose. Turning that dumping ground into a bedroom will be far more appealing for viewers.
Create a lifestyle people are looking for.
It is important that anything left out for visitors to see sells a lifestyle. Look at every detail with a viewers eyes. Towels should be clean and fluffy. Kitchen cupboards should be clean, tidy and displaying your nicest glassware and crockery. Bars of soap should be fresh and clean.The dining table nicely dressed. Under stairs cupboards should be tidy with just a few nice coats and your best shoes. The rubbish always emptied (you get the idea).
Well, what are you waiting for?
