We make selling property easy. Contact us today for a free ‘thinking of selling’ valuation and we will take care of the rest with results that speak for themselves.
We want your property to appeal to as many people as possible. Remember that it’s always good to have your property presented in the best possible way. Well-presented homes tend to sell quicker and for higher prices. Prior to offering your property for sale, we would be delighted to spend some time with you and advise what improvements, if any, can be made.
Your front door and driveway/garden are the first things your buyers will see when they come to your home. Spend time tidying up the outside of the house – plant flowers, trim bushes, weed, repaint the front door and gate. Ensure the front looks tidy and appealing.
A fresh coat of paint, new tiling or carpets if required, will bring a new lease of life to any room.
Got a dripping tap or a cracked tile? These will send the wrong message to potential buyers. From removing grubby sealant to replacing damaged areas of carpet, try and get all issues repaired before putting the house for sale.
If you’d rather not re-decorate, it is essential that your property is presented well before every viewing. Dusting and polishing can spruce up a home enormously. Pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. Make sure the beds are made. Using plug-ins, scented candles or fresh flowers can create a clean light scent.
Clutter doesn’t sell homes, it makes them seem smaller and disorganised. Take time to remove as much as possible without leaving the rooms bare. Clear kitchen worktops as much as possible leaving just the kettle, coffee machine and fruit bowl.

Consider your target market, buyers like to see clearly defined rooms. Each room should have a clear function. Try to tailor your space to appeal to the main group without alienating other groups that might be interested. So if you feel that your target market is families, maybe turn that office space into a playroom or family room.
