Making the right impression

De-clutter

This is a simple task to complete yet makes the biggest difference from the point of view of your potential buyer. Presenting clear worktops, window ledges, shelves and mantelpieces instantly builds a spacious, bright environment. It allows customers looking around to imagine their own possessions in the property so they can picture it as their home.

All you need to do is to move any unnecessary items out of sight, storing them in cupboards or a garage, and have a general clear out including perhaps a quick look under the beds!

Go neutral – but not too neutral

By keeping the decor neutral, you are more likely to appeal to the majority of viewers as it becomes a blank canvas. If the viewer can imagine their own stamp on the property, then it instantly becomes a faster sell. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money, but you'll see the benefits. Don't be afraid of the odd non-beige flourish, just to ensure that the home has a flash of personality.

Don't neglect your outdoor space

Your garden, however big or small, can be as important to your potential buyer as any other room in the property, so remember it's not just the kitchen floors that need a sweep. Ensure the lawn is mowed, the flowerbeds are weed free and the patio is looking its best. If the garden or balcony is tidy, it instantly becomes larger and more desirable. If it's only a small space, just wiping down any outdoor furniture can make the difference.

And last but certainly not least…
