As the days of summer draw to a close, now is
the ideal time of the year to organise your property and get it ready for the
home sale market. If you’re planning on moving then it is important that you
take on professional advice to ensure that you take the right steps to allow
your home to shine in comparison to all the others. You are trying to make your
home as appealing as possible to potential buyers, and this can be done using
simple tips and techniques. From using your mirrors to make your home look
bigger to arranging the finishing touches in your garden, we will aim to help
make your home stand out in the best way possible.
This advice is not just for homeowners looking
to sell, as landlords with a rental property in need of a tenant can also
benefit from the advice. Follow some of our tips below and you will be in the
best position when it comes to negotiating the best price for your home:
Use decorative mirrors to take advantage of light – Depending on the time your home
is being viewed; you need to be aware of how much light will be shining into
your property. If the viewings are in the evening or in winter, then ensure that
the rooms are well lit with carefully positioned mirrors ; as your viewers will
not be impressed with a dark and dreary room. Having a selection of mirrors
placed throughout the house will make the room seem more homely with the light
reflection being more prominent.
This works in the summer also, as it would be a good idea to
keep the curtains open and allowing as much natural sunlight in through the
windows and onto these mirrors. This extra light will really make your rooms shine
and with the long days of the summer, it will present your home in a positive
light.
Do the
necessary repairs – The first step to think about is the need to
perform a thorough check of your property and specifically look out for any
potential repairs or maintenance work that needs to be made a priority. Some
repairs that are usually found on top of the roof and include damaged roof
tiles or unstable gutters, which could highlight your home in a negative way.
Having a well maintained exterior and interior will present your property as a
well maintained home that isn’t likely to just fall apart when your buyer
purchases it.
Get rid
of personal items – You want to create as much space in your home as
possible, so remove any large or unnecessary items of furniture that can be
easily stored. The potential buyers coming to view your place will want to imagine
their own furniture inside and some of your furniture could prevent them from
being able to do this. So any items that you are too personal to you and appeal
to a person viewing your home then put them away somewhere safe. If you don’t
have enough space to store away any big pieces, then you can get professional
help as certain removal companies can provide extra storage space for you.
A spotless garden– Many
buyers make their mind up of a property within the first few seconds, so it is
extremely important that your front garden, as well as your back, is flawless.
Many people attempting to sell their property will forget to take this party of
a home seriously, so take some time to impress viewers before they step in your
house and maintain your garden properly.
Timing and the small things are is crucial when attempting
to showcase your home, and with a competitive market it is important that you
make the most of the time that your home is for sale. Prioritise by sorting out
any important home improvement aspects and the things that will help boost your
chances of getting a higher price.
