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.
