Spring is an ideal time to sell your property. With more sunlight and longer days properties look more appealing. The housing market is taking off and buyers are eager to see new properties for sale coming onto the market. With so much competition around it is crucial for your property to stand out from the crowd. Here are some top tips for preparing your property for selling in spring.
Stand back and look at your property from a buyer’s perspective. Does your front door need a fresh coat of paint, maybe a change of colour to make it stand out? Do you need to have the guttering cleared? If it rains at viewings, you don’t want a leaking gutter putting people off. Tidy the garden path and drive, remove weeds in the garden and add some planters with spring bulbs, strategically positioned at the front door, which will transform your entrance. Clean the garden furniture and place it in the garden so that viewers can visualise enjoying the warmer weather. Remember that the viewers first impressions are made within a few seconds, so it is important to make them count.
As with any time of year it is important to dress your home to show it at its best, so that buyers can visualise themselves living there. Start with a spring clean! Touch up any paintwork and keep your rooms clear from clutter as this will allow your viewers to concentrate on the space and how you have presented the room. To achieve this, try and find a balance between accessorising the room but not too personalised. Once on the market, if you have an open fire or wood burning stove, it is always a good idea to have this on for viewings as it is so welcoming and a focal point in a room.
To summarise, the easiest way to test your home’s flow is to put yourself in the shoes of your buyers. Take yourself outside the property and enter it as if for the first time. How does it feel? The attention to detail will make such an impression on your potential buyers, so be sure to do all you can to make your property memorable.
