Making the decision to up sticks and move on to pastures new is certainly exciting, but dreams can quickly turn a little sour if you put your house on the market and it sits there for months, or even years, without a sniff of a sale to be seen.
However, there’s a lot you can do to make your home more sellable, so it’s certainly worth taking an objective look at it to see if there are any improvements that could be made in order to ensure the property is sold faster – and for the price you want.
First of all, declutter your living spaces. This will make it easier for people to see the actual property itself and imagine themselves living there. However, don’t take it too far and make the house feel impersonal – you still want to show it off at its best.
Once you’ve removed all the excess belongings you have (either putting them in storage, recycling them or donating them to charity), give the walls a fresh lick of paint. This will help bring the rooms back to life and make your home seem bigger. Go for a neutral colour to help people envisage how they might use the rooms if they moved in.
And don’t forget to turn your attention to the outside of the property, as well. First impressions count for a lot and the external side of the house is what people will be initially greeted with, after all. Make sure the windows are in good condition, the roof has no missing tiles and that the garden is nice and tidy, with the driveway well maintained.
