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The kitchen should be stylish and clean - if it looks out of date, think of ways to refresh the look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
