Selling your home is no simple endeavour, but there is a lot that needs to be done before you can even put your house on the market. When you have viewings, you are going to want to present it in the best light possible, to increase your chances of making a sale. What’s more, you’re going to want to make as much money from your home as possible, so preparation is key. If you don’t know where to start, here are five things that you need to do before your home goes up for sale.
- Get Rid Of Clutter
Getting rid of all of your clutter is important for a few reasons. Firstly, it means that you will have less to take with you to your new property, which not only makes your life a lot easier when it comes to packing, but it will also save you money. This is because you will be able to hire a smaller moving van. There is also the fact that a cluttered home isn’t going to look great in pictures or in person, and may put people off buying your home, as they assume you haven’t looked after it.
- Increase Your Curb Appeal
First impressions matter and that includes the first impression that potential buyers will have of your home. The last thing that you want is for people to drive up to your house and be horrified that they’re even considering buying it, so you have to make it look as good on the outside as it does on the inside. This means keeping your front garden tidy and having a nice front door.
- De-Personalize Your Home
You don’t want viewers to walk into your home and feel like intruders because your home is all about you. You need it to be neutral and like anyone and everyone could live there. This means getting rid of your bright yellow door and painting over your brightly coloured wall mural.
- Increase Your Value
You want to get as much for your home as you possibly can, so it’s important for you to add value to it wherever you can. Increasing living space by adding one of the Visual Conservatories or converting your loft is a great idea, but repairing structural damage and improving what you have already got is much more important.
- Clean Everywhere
You can’t avoid it any longer; If you want to sell your home, you’re going to have to clean absolutely everywhere before the viewings start. This includes your gardens, windows and guttering, as well as everywhere inside your home. It definitely isn’t fun, but no one is going to want to buy a home if it’s covered in dust and dirt.
Selling your home is incredibly complicated, but the work starts well before it goes on the market. You want your home to look and feel appealing, or you won’t get any offers. If you follow the tips above though, you should be alright.
