Tips for Selling Your Property

Unveil space by clearing the clutter.

• 

  Don’t underestimate the power of decluttering! By putting more items in cupboards or stored in the garage, you can create a clear and inviting space. This will help buyers envision themselves living in your home. Think kitchen appliances such as blenders in the pantry, kid’s toys packed into a toy box, newspapers, magazines and books away. Many vendors take this as an opportunity to sell or donate items they no longer need and begin packing for their move. If you have too many items to fit neatly at home, you may want to consider offsite storage.

Consider a fresh coat of paint.

• 

  Start by sugar soaping the walls, notice do they look fresh and bright? If so, great! If they still look a bit stained or worn you may want to consider a fresh coat of paint. Neutral paint tones create a fresh and clean aesthetic, making rooms feel larger and brighter. Choose classic colour combinations, avoiding trendy choices that might quickly go out of style.

Create a bright and welcoming atmosphere.

• 

  Natural light can dramatically transform the ambiance of a home. Wash windows inside and out, open curtains and blinds to allow sunlight to flood the rooms. Mirrors can also help create a sense of spaciousness, particularly in rooms without windows. A nice smelling home is comforting and inviting, whilst you could bake cookies the morning of an open, an air freshener works just as well.

Bathroom brilliance.

• 

  A clean and well-maintained bathroom is a must-have for potential buyers. Start by paying attention to the shower and bath area, ensuring the tiles are clean and free of grime. Re-grouting can work wonders to restore the tiles’ appearance. Address any mould issues and consider updating older/outdated fittings and fixtures to give your bathroom a more contemporary feel.

Enhance your kitchen.

• 

  Like bathrooms, a clean and well-kept kitchen will be appreciated by buyers. Start with a deep clean of the stove, rangehood and oven. Wipe all benches and cabinetry. If your kitchen needs some extra TLC. Instead of investing in a costly renovation, consider budget-friendly options to enhance its appearance. Simple changes like a fresh coat of paint and replacing worn cabinet doors or handles can significantly improve the overall look and feel of your kitchen.
