When you are looking to sell your property, many things can be done to speed up the process but also can generate a higher selling price. Here are some tips to help you prepare for the sale of your home.
First Impressions
To create a fantastic first impression, regularly maintaining the outside appearance of the property is key. It can leave a lasting good memory with all potential buyers.
To leave a positive lasting memory, maintain the grass, fences, trees and shrubs of the garden to keep a tidy image through the selling process. Arrange any outdoor furniture clean and presentable to help potential buyers see themselves in this property. This can all be done personally to avoid any associated costs, but there are options to use a local gardener to maintain it well.
Regularly cleaning the windows and frames provides a tidy and inviting scenery while also protecting them from contaminants. Poor cleanliness can damage the glass and frames which reduces the life span of the windows.
Roofing and guttering are also important factors to keep well maintained. Any problems that originate from these areas can be an off-putting characteristic. These need to be fit for duty and appear in good, working condition. Making any minor repairs can go a long way and can make the property more appealing as no changes will need to be made.
Prepare Indoors
A cluttered, unclean property during viewing can be extremely off-putting. To generate more viewings and a higher selling price, follow these tips.
Clean and declutter the property. Remove any unnecessary items or personal belongings that have accumulated. Remove any large furniture that may take up too much space to give a spacious feel to the environment. Potential buyers will need to see themselves living there, and providing a clean, tidy and spacious environment allows them to do so.
Improve the decoration to give a warm and inviting welcome. Giving the walls a coat of fresh, neutral paint can make the rooms feel lighter and bigger. You can accessorise the room without cluttering it by adding mirrors. Hanging them on the wall will give the feel of a larger, brighter room. Some other ways to improve the inside are lighting a fire, having fresh flowers around the house and light candles to set a cosy ambience and provide a delicious fragrance.
Doing all of the above allows you to feel confident about presenting your property to potential buyers through pictures and in person viewings.
