Five ‘tuneful’ tips to get you moving in Wembley this summer

Discover the simple things you can do to get your property ready for sale or rent this summer. We promise you it’ll be music to your ears. A 90-second Speedy Saturday read.

Amid all the Covid-19 chaos that’s blighted our lives during the past three months, let’s hope brighter days are on the horizon. Literally.

‘Summer, summer, summertime’ officially starts on Saturday 20 June, and these tuneful tips below will help you prepare for it, especially if you are planning to sell your home or rent your property out.

1 Let’s Go Outside
Ensure your outdoor area is ready by tidying it up where necessary, get any odd jobs sorted and have prospective buyers or tenants swooning and remembering ‘the first time, ever they saw your place.’

2 The Green Green Grass of Home
If you have a garden now is the perfect time to make the most of it. Mow the lawn, prune the bushes, and create a place where people can imagine relaxing on a summer’s evening listening to their favourite songs.

3 Space Oddity 
No list of how to sell or rent a property would be complete without this piece of timeless advice. De-clutter as much as possible. Buyers and renters seek space as much as the musical legend David Bowie did during his Ziggy Stardust phase.

4 Smells Like Clean Spirit
Ok so we’ve played around with the title a little, but it’s worth it. People who are looking at property use all their senses to make their decisions, including smell. So, keep on top of odours with plenty of fresh air, deodorisers, or scented candles.

5 When You’re Cleaning windows
Viewers are put off by dirty windows so give them a good clean and let the sunshine flood in.

After months of fevered speculation, Chancellor Rachel Reeves will unveil her autumn Budget next week (Wednesday 30 October). As the announcement could have important implications for landlords, let’s consider what might be included in it.

In the past decade, millions of Brits have snapped up home tech gadgets to monitor their kids, cats, dogs and deliveries. About one in five homes has a doorbell camera, while thousands more have pet CCTV or video baby monitors. With all this kit installed, it’s probably no surprise that some people have taken to using it for another purpose.

Now the dust has settled on the Budget, let’s look at what it might mean for landlords and buy-to-let investors.

If you’ve ever considered selling your Wembley home, you may have felt the temptation to list it at a higher price, hoping for a bigger payday. After all, who wouldn’t want to maximise the return on their largest tax-free investment?
