How to prepare your house for sale
Once you have instructed VitalSpace as your Urmston Estate Agent, a few simple preparation efforts can make all the difference when selling your home. The most common question asked by our clients surrounds how to prepare your house for sale. Selling your home requires careful planning and the knowledge of how to spruce your home is important to ensure that the presentation sends buyers scurrying for their chequebooks. Urmston Estate Agents, VitalSpace have prepared a few tips and tricks to turn your home into an irresistible and marketable property.
Ask yourself, Just who will be your buyer?
Disassociate yourself with your home – The primary step to consider when selling your property quickly in Urmston is to think of what your buyers would look for. Who do you think is presently searching ‘Estate Agent in Urmston’, who is trawling the Urmston property papers that might see themselves buying your property? Once established, now go about making your home appeal to these potential buyers without putting off those that might either aspire to what your home says for itself or those that fancy a change. So if it’s a family of four that would most suit your property, ensure that your fourth bedroom can be easily seen as either a spare bedroom for guests, or as a study, but not both..
Get rid of the rubbish! Clear the clutter!
Buyers will need to visualise themselves in your space. Provide them with the relevant atmosphere, a suitable number of family type photos should remain if it’s a family that you’re appealing to – but a room full of cricket trophies may well be your pride and joy, but represent clutter to those not of the same inclination.
First Impressions – ‘Kerb Appeal’
If the outside of your house looks shabby, what does it say about the inside. Buyers often drive by your home before arranging a viewing – ask yourself – does my home have kerb appeal? A clean, well presented façade is essential, paint the front door and add some pots and plants, it will give a ‘feel good’ factor to your house.
Clean up the kitchen and bathrooms
Get the salt, pepper and ketchup into a cupboard and lock up the underarm spray in the bathroom cupboard! Dump the dirty dishcloths and wash, iron and put away the tea towels. Ensure that when viewers are due to visit, both the kitchen and bathroom’s are odor free – unless its freshly made bread and coffee.
Consider a mini-makeover
A lick of paint here and a repaired hinge there can work wonders and will instill a feeling of ‘well maintained’ into your potential buyers. Add a dash of colour with flowers and clean the place up.
- Replace cracked floor or counter tiles.
- Patch holes in walls.
- Fix doors that don’t close properly and kitchen drawers that jam.
- Replace burned-out light bulbs.
- If you’ve considered replacing a worn bedspread, do so now!
- Consider painting your walls neutral colors, especially if you have grown
accustomed to grey or orange walls.
