TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR PROPERTY

EVEN THE CLEANEST & MOST TASTEFULLY INTERIOR DESIGNED HOMES IN THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER AREAS CAN BENEFIT FROM A FEW ADJUSTMENTS & IMPROVEMENTS WHEN IT COMES TO SHOWCASING TO POTENTIAL BUYERS.

With Summer now looming there are plenty of things to consider in order to make sure that your property is in its best shape and will be snapped up soon after it has gone on the market. With a little time, attention and investment you can make sure that your home will fully justify its asking price and the offers that you will receive.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

It’s a widely known fact that most potential buyers are most strongly influenced within the first five minutes of arriving at a property. Therefore by ensuring that windows are clean and repainted, the front garden is in good condition, the roof is in a good state of repair and any other easily forgettable jobs, such as a working doorbell, are attended to beforehand. With the addition of potted plants and colourful window box displays, you can rest assured that this will create a positive impact on your viewers.

AIRY INTERIORS

A fresh lick of paint in a neutral tone can greatly enhance your property’s selling power. By making rooms appear larger and more spacious, you will be showing your home to its highest advantage. Decluttering before viewers arrive is also highly advisable as it allows them to view each room in the particular layout that would suit them. Large mirrors hanging on your walls can create the illusion of extra space and even offer a subtle romantic ambience.

CLEAN

A deep clean is never a bad idea before potential buyers come to view your property. Not only will your taps glisten and your work surfaces gleam, but the fresh scents from the products will remain and give the impression of a well-kept household. Light scented candles and arrange diffusers to fill the air with pleasantly alluring smells. Rid your home of any limescale that may have been building up and remove any stains or marks that could influence your viewers decision.

PLANNING PERMISSION

For a surprisingly small cost you can obtain planning permission for a variety of improvements on your home, such as extensions or a loft conversion. Similarly, it would be advisable to see how easy it could be to convert any outbuildings you may have in order to improve your property. By showing a potential buyer how they could extend and adjust the property, you will not only be selling them the dream of their tailor-made habitat, but also be showing them how to increase the value of it.

There is no doubt that The Terraces, with their private outdoor spaces, are something really special, but this is even more apparent when the sun is shining, and you can see the London skyline, everything from the Gherkin to Canary Wharf. It was a busy day with people in and out commenting on how spacious and well finished the show apartment looked, it’s great for local people to see an example of how a former bank has been transformed into fabulously chic apartments.
