5 VALUABLE TIPS FOR
PREPARING YOUR HOME
FOR SALE
Go through the entire property and do
a thorough clean out. Get rid of anything
you no longer need and tidy up all those
cupboards and drawers that have
been neglected.
Gardens,terraces and balconies are where
you do most of your entertaining; tidy up the
outdoor areas by trimming hedges,removing
weeds,planting more greenery,staining decks
and pressure cleaning outdoor tiles.This will
make the outdoor areas feel more appealing
and inviting.
Using a stylist to furnish your property for sale is highly recommended. Stylists can furnish the
property so it looks modern and clean, whilst utilising the space.A good stylist will match the
furniture they use to the demographic of buyer they think will purchase that property.
Do any small repairs around the house
like patching cracks and mending
anything that is broken, then do a new
coat of paint to freshen the place up.
Using a neutral paint colour is always
recommended as it makes the property
appear as a ‘blank canvas’ for the new
purchaser and tends to create a sense
of space.
If the carpet is worn and looking tired
replace it with something new and neutral.
If the carpet is in good condition, then
have it steam cleaned to freshen it up
and remove any superficial stains. If your
property has floorboards, have them
repolished to remove any scratches.
