How to prepare your home for sale – 5 helpful steps

Getting your home prepared for sale can be an overwhelming task that for many find it hard to know where to start.

Here, we have a few simple steps to guide you through the process!

• Less is more

Declutter and then declutter again! The people viewing your home want to see what they could be moving into. This means having a house that is clean and tidy to ensure buyers are given the best view of your property possible.

• Tidy your garden

This means mowing your grass, weeding, and washing down any outdoor surfaces. A garden which is well maintained adds value to your home as it is another space buyers can see themselves making use of.

• Façade appeal

Before anyone steps foot into your home, the outside leading in is the first thing buyers will notice. Ensuring the façade is well maintained will provide a good first impression – the key to enticing buyers inside.

• Freshen up your space

Consider a quick coat of paint over walls or steam cleaning of carpet. This can give your property a whole new look. Note that if you do paint your walls – neutral is always best to appeal to the widest market of buyers.

• Property Staging

If you are feeling like the task of presenting your home for sale is to much, one simple solution is to hire a property stylist. They can either work with you to repurpose your space with your furniture or fully furnish your home for a fee.
