Sales Tips
As first impressions are important, you should take note of the following guidelines to enhance the appearance and sale of your property:-
- Create an inviting atmosphere by arranging furniture
- Create a bright atmosphere by letting plenty of light into your home
- Use flowers, plants and paintings to brighten up the home
- Keep your home neat & tidy during the inspections
- Ensure minor repairs are completed such as sticking doors, windows, loose door knobs, faulty plumbing, peeling paint etc
- Gardens, lawns, paths and porches should be clear of rubbish or debris
- Garden equipment tools, toys & sporting equipment should be stored away
- Keep pets out of the house during open for inspections
- A fresh coat of paint can transform even the dullest of rooms. Freshly painted walls look clean, inviting and well maintained. Use a neutral white or beige colour on your walls to help the prospective buyer to see what they might wish to do with the room
- The kitchen should be stylish and clean - if it looks out of date, think of ways to refresh the look
- Consider updating old bathroom fittings to give a modern impression
- Consider recarpeting any rooms with worn, old or stained carpets, alternatively have them steam cleaned
- Try to keep your personal items to a minimum to allow the prospective buyer the opportunity to see their own things in the house
- If you have a pool, ensure that it is clean and that the surround is in good condition
