Selling your home is a big step, and how you present it can make a huge difference. First impressions really do count. A well-presented home not only photographs better but can also lead to quicker sales and even higher offers. We’ve created a simple checklist to help you get your home market-ready:
- Declutter – Remove unnecessary items and personal clutter to help buyers visualise the space. Keep surfaces clear and rooms tidy.
- Deep Clean – From skirting boards to windows, a spotless home feels more inviting and better cared for. Don’t forget carpets and bathrooms!
- Freshen Up Paintwork – A coat of neutral paint can refresh tired walls and make spaces look brighter and bigger.
- Fix the Little Things – Dripping taps, loose door handles, or scuffed skirting boards might seem small, but they can give buyers the impression the house hasn’t been looked after.
- Maximise Kerb Appeal – First impressions start from the street. Mow the lawn, sweep the path, clean the windows, and consider a potted plant by the front door.
- Stage the Space – Arrange furniture to show off each room’s function. Add cushions, throws, or flowers for a homely touch.
- Let in Natural Light – Open curtains and blinds before viewings to make rooms feel light and airy.
