Home Staging ideas

THE goal of home staging is to present your property in the best possible light to attract potential buyers. It involves making strategic improvements, arranging furniture and decor, and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the home. Here are some key steps to consider when staging your property to sell!

Declutter and clean

Start by removing any personal items, excess furniture, and clutter from the space. A clean and organised home allows buyers to visualise themselves living in it.

Depersonalise the space

Minimise personal touches like family photos and unique artwork. Neutralise the decor to create a blank canvas that appeals to a wider range of potential buyers.

Create curb appeal

First impressions matter, so enhance the exterior of your property. Maintain the lawn, trim bushes, add potted plants, and ensure the front entrance is welcoming and well-maintained.

Neutral colour scheme

Paint the walls in neutral colours to create a fresh and inviting atmosphere. Neutral tones make it easier for buyers to envision their own furniture and decor in the space.

Furniture arrangement

Rearrange furniture to create an open and spacious feel. Consider removing or replacing bulky pieces that may make rooms appear smaller than they are.

Highlight the best features

Showcase the unique selling points of your property. If you have a beautiful fireplace, highlight it by arranging furniture to draw attention to it.

New Spanish housing law

AT the end of April 2023, Spain’s housing law was updated to solve issues on annual rent increase rates, price limits, and eviction procedures in the country. But what does the new law mean for homeowners?

Annual rental increase rates will now be capped to reduce living costs and lessen the burden on tenants. The new law will cap the rental price increase at 2 per cent in 2023 and 3 per cent in 2024.

There will now be no agency fees for tenants and all estate agency fees must be covered by the landlord/homeowner.

There will be new control mechanisms over vacant properties and if the landlord will not live in or rent their property for a period of two consecutive years, they will receive a fine. If the property remains empty without justifiable reasons for over two years, the penalty will be applicable on the IBI tax amount, which changes between 50 per cent and 100 per cent.

Landlords who own five or more properties in a stressed area will be considered ‘large landlords’. They will be distinguished from regular owners and will have specific measures to comply with as large property owners.

There is now an improved eviction system whereby tenants can only be evicted by a predetermined date and reason. Tenants will now have enough time to find an alternative living place until their eviction date and it is prohibited for the landlord to evict the tenant before this pre-set date.
