Seven simple ways to prepare your home for sale

You don’t need a big renovation to get a great result. In my experience, the things that matter most are usually small and inexpensive.

Start with the first impression

Mow the lawn, trim the hedges, sweep the paths and make sure the front door looks inviting. Buyers often decide how they feel about a home before they step inside.

Declutter and let the light in

Pack away anything you won’t need for the next few months, open the curtains and replace any blown globes. Bright, open rooms photograph better and feel bigger in person.

Fix the little things

Dripping taps, sticking doors and chipped paint can make buyers wonder what else needs work. A weekend of small repairs can remove those doubts.

When we meet for your appraisal, I’ll walk through your home with you and suggest which jobs are worth doing and which you can skip.
