There are lots of things to think about when you are planning to sell your house – things like the best time of year to put your property on the market, finding a local estate agent like this Gloucester estate agents who have good knowledge of the local property market, and making sure that you are in the right position financially to move house.
However, when it comes to actually selling your house, presentation is really important – here are some tips to help you present your home in a way that will appeal to buyers…
Make it Neutral – Whatever your taste is in interior design, it can be helpful to re-paint in neutral colours before you have people come and look around. People can then see it as a blank canvas that they can put their own stamp on.
Clear up Clutter – If the place is cluttered it may be making it look smaller. Now is the ideal time to get rid of things that you no longer need, and you also could put some items into storage to help free up some space so that people can see the property better.
Use Pleasant Scents – Bad smells can be really off putting to someone looking around your home, and they may think there is a problem in the property such as drainage issues or dampness. If you have pets, or are smokers, then there may also be smells lingering on fabrics in the home, so give everything a good clean and use air fresheners, reed diffusers and even do some baking to create pleasant scents.
