Presentation of your property is a critical factor in achieving the highest possible price.

Instant smell, instant sell – everyone knows that trick! Brew up a pot of real coffee just before that door bell rings and make sure the aroma of freshly ground coffee smacks likely buyers in the face just as they walk through the door. That’s one. But probably not the best one.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css=”.vc_custom_1731325540986{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner width=”7/12″][vc_custom_heading text=”Consider these” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1731325465501{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”common-list”]

  • A confident buyer sweeps into a room. An unconvinced buyer has had to sweep through litter, pizza boxes and junk mail just to get in. Keep things tidy.
  • In winter, have lights on during the daytime. They can add enchantment. Or disenchantment if light bulbs are missing.
  • There’s a big difference between getting a feel for a place and having to feel our way around! Which is why lighting in a room is important. Natural light can liven a place up and give a feeling of freshness and cleanliness. So draw back those curtains – and open those windows. If you don’t have curtains and it’s still dark, check your windows. They may need urgent cleaning. There’s always a first time.
  • In vacant properties, always leave some furniture behind to give the place a lived-in feeling.
  • Peeling paint suggests that work needs to be done on the property. This could be used to re-negotiate the price.
  • If you have a garden, check outside the house is as neat and tidy as the inside.
  • To a nervous first-time buyer, a damp stain caused by a minor past leakage suggests an impending flood.
  • Ensure your agent knows what makes your house a “home” – explain why it has that special feel to you, point out its highlights.
