Making your home more Marketable

  • Make sure that the property presents well from the outside- clean entrance porches and drives, make sure the garden is tidy and repair that broken gate. Remember- potential purchasers get their first impressions from outside and these really do count !
  • Use a “For Sale” Board outside your home. It provides a prominent indicator and is often spotted by the buyer “checking out the area” in preparation.
  • Buyers love homes that are bright fresh and clean and will often pay a premium for a home in “ move -in” condition.
  • Make your home look its best by redecorating where necessary and avoiding dark colours which make rooms appear smaller.
  • Buyers often exaggerate the cost of repairs, so try to deal with any problems before marketing your home.
  • Let in plenty of light, open curtains, turn on lights particularly during evening and Winter viewings.
  • Remove any clutter to make the rooms appear larger neater and relaxing
  • Flowers and other pleasant aromas such as coffee, bread etc will make the home more inviting.
  • Don’t overcrowd the viewer- see that only 1 or 2 people are at home for at least the first visit. Bear in mind that not everyone likes pets so keep them at bay. If we do not accompany the viewing, show the buyer round without rushing -don’t make them feel pressurised !
  • Offering a tea or coffee can often work wonders !
