How Small Details Help Sell Your Home Successfully

How Small Details Help Sell Your Home Successfully

Selling your home in a competitive market requires more than just a tidy appearance; it needs keen attention to detail.

Seemingly small enhancements can have a huge impact on a potential buyer’s perception, turning interest into offers and, ultimately, successful sales.

We share five key points, with examples, to show why it’s important to delve into the details:

1)    First impressions count: The entrance to your home sets the tone. A freshly painted front door, polished door handle and a new, welcoming doormat can make a world of difference. Consider the impact of a clean, clutter-free hallway – it speaks volumes about the rest of your property.

2)    Kerb appeal: Never underestimate the power of a well-maintained garden and a clean driveway. Jet-washing your driveway and pruning overgrown bushes can transform the outside of your home. It’s all about capturing a potential buyer’s interest from the kerb.

3)    The little fixes: It’s often minor issues that catch a buyer’s eye, detracting from your home’s overall appeal. Tightening that loose kitchen cabinet handle, replacing burnt-out light bulbs and painting over the handprints up the wall can subtly influence a buyer’s decision-making process.

4)    Cleanliness and order: A spotlessly clean home is universally appealing. Ensuring your home is pristine for each viewing – from shining floors to gleaming surfaces – suggests a well-cared-for property. Additionally, decluttering spaces makes rooms appear larger and more inviting.

5)    Staging to impress: Think about the arrangement of furniture and décor to maximise space and flow. A well-placed mirror can brighten a dark hallway, and removing bulky furniture can make living areas feel spacious and welcoming.

Why this matters
By focusing on these details, you’re not just selling a property but presenting a lifestyle.
Remember, in property sales, the devil – and the deal – is indeed in the details.

Despite greater awareness and tougher legislative measures, mould can still be a significant issue for landlords and tenants. A new survey has found that 43% of tenants have experienced problems with mould and damp in their rental*.

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.
