Getting the presentation of your property right is a vital part of marketing, which can ultimately help towards a quick and successful sale.
Starting with the outside of the house, that important kerb appeal.
Move your car from the driveway and remove any bins and gardening equipment.
Freshly cut grass always looks appealing and tackling any over-grown bushes would also be beneficial.
Decluttering is probably the most important step.
Any unnecessary items should be removed from work surfaces and counter tops and put out of sight.
Toiletries can be particularly distracting as they are so colourful in a bathroom.
Increasing your floorspace makes a property feel larger, taking up rugs from smaller rooms can make a dramatic difference.
Piles of children’s toys should be tidied away.
Some sellers find excessive amounts of electrical cables an eye sore, these too should be tidied up in advance.
Bedrooms should also be clutter free, any items under the bed should be removed. And a well-made bed always looks great.
The kitchen is very important and needs a special mention.
All dirty dishes should be removed from the sink and put away.
We recommend removing fridge magnets and if you have a pet, hide their food bowls.
Put any older towels and tea towels out of sight too.
If your kitchen has a dining area or indeed you have a separate dining room, you may want to consider setting the table.
Lighting is important, especially natural light.
Open all the blinds and put on any sidelights.
With the exception of spotlights, overhead lights can be very distracting and don’t add a lot of light, we prefer to have them off.
