We are often asked by clients if they should redecorate their homes, or even take bigger steps like replacing kitchens or bathrooms. Whilst every situation is different, typically big investments are not recommended, however we would be pleased to offer more detailed advice during our initial valuation. The following steps can help to make sure your home achieves its very best outcome:
Declutter and Depersonalise:
Remove personal items and excessive clutter to help potential buyers envision the space as their own.
Deep Clean:
Ensure every room is spotless, paying attention to details like carpets, windows, and kitchen appliances. A clean home gives a positive impression.
Fix Repairs:
Address any visible issues, from leaky taps to peeling paint. A well-maintained property communicates value.
Enhance Curb Appeal:
First impressions matter. Tidy up the exterior, maintain the lawn, and add some potted plants or flowers to create an inviting entrance.
Maximize Light:
Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light. Well-lit spaces feel more welcoming.
Showcase Storage Space:
Clear out and organize closets and storage areas to emphasize ample storage space.
Add Welcoming Touches:
Consider fresh flowers, scented candles, or tasteful decor to create a warm atmosphere during showings.
By following these steps, you can present your house in its best light and increase its appeal to potential buyers, at the same time limit any concerns that might make buyers want to negotiate on the price.
