Everyone has clutter lying around. Whilst keepsakes can add character to your home, a potential buyer may see it as mess. Clutter can make your property seem overcrowded, but you want it to appear spacious and airy.
Potential buyers typically want a blank canvas so they can envisage what the property would look like if they were living there. Therefore, we recommend that nonessential items should be stored away and out of sight for viewings.
Giving your walls a fresh coat of neutral paint can make your home seem bigger and enhance natural lighting. Soft and light colours reflect light well which is great for online images.
We recommend:
Kerb appeal creates a lasting first impression. A well-maintained front garden, pathways and fences are important when buyers turn up to view your property. Get rid of weeds, power wash the paving and wash your front door.
These simple changes are low-cost and can be done over the weekend, but they can help your home look cared for.
Home staging is about boosting visual appeal and playing on other senses. Make sure entrances are clear and paths between rooms are clear.
Make sure your home is at a comfortable temperature. This may mean putting the heating on for winter viewings or opening the windows in the spring/summer. Additionally, good smells can also draw in potential buyers. Some popular scents include freshly baked bread or freshly brewed coffee.
Selling your home doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive. With some simple improvements, you can transform your space into one that buyers will love.
