Remember its all about presentation! When you
have a viewing booked, it’s important to show your house
in it's best light.
Before you start showing
your house, it's essential to present your home so it
appeals to as many buyers as possible. |
Many people will judge
your home based on their first impression so a general
de-clutter and clean should pay dividends. Preparing for
house showing can be time consuming but the the effort
you put in before you show your house will make a big
difference!
If your
home is in need of some general TLC consider decorating
in neutral colours before you try to sell your home.
Also consider replacing floor coverings in important
rooms such as the kitchen, lounge and bathroom.
It’s a false economy if you don’t spend anything to
prepare your house as the presentation will affect the
price you achieve. The difference between a well
presented home and one in poor cosmetic condition could
be thousands of pounds.
It may seem obvious but
cutting the grass, putting the kids toys away and
cleaning the bathroom can all make a huge difference.
