When a buyer enters your property, you instantly want them to feel at home. Here are 5 things you can do to achieve that:

🏠 New Carpets and Fresh Paint: When selling a house, spending some money doing minor renovations is sometimes necessary. Painting certain rooms and putting down new carpet are the two most significant things you can do to help your house sell faster.

🏠 Unclutter Your House: Get rid of all your clutter. Buyers might not appreciate your magazine collection or the dolls and teddy bears you keep in the guest bedroom. Tidy your home and give it a more minimal feel.

🏠 Make Sure it's Clean: Please ensure your home is clean and tidy; otherwise, you'll put buyers off. That means ensuring the bathrooms are spotless, your oven is sparkling, and your carpets and upholstery have no stains.

🏠 Give All Your Rooms a Purpose: When staging your home for a sale, it's important to ensure all your rooms have a purpose. If a room in your house is supposed to be a dining room, for example, then make sure you set it out like that.

🏠 If you are doing the viewings instead of your Agent, make them feel at home by giving them space to wander around independently.

Let in Natural Light: Open curtains and blinds to maximize natural light. Well-lit spaces feel more inviting.

Selling your home is an exciting time, but it's no time to get complacent and expect offers to come rolling in 💪

Here are 5 things you should expect after your home hits the market:

📱 Pictures v Reality: Your home needs to closely resemble its listing photos as much as possible, so take this time to get rid of clutter to pique buyers' interest and make rooms look as spacious as possible

🖼 Criticism: Your taste isn't the same as everyone else's, so prepare for your home to be critiqued. Don't take it personally, though. Use it as constructive criticism to best prepare your home for selling.

🖌 Repairs: They say never judge a book by its cover, but this isn't always true regarding your home. If it isn't up to scratch, you won't get offers. Simple things like gardening, minor repairs and a lick of paint can make a big difference, so pick up those brushes!

🕛 Schedule: You'll find you'll have to chop and change plans to accommodate viewers and also factor in no-shows, so be prepared to be as flexible as you can

💷 Expenses: If you're selling your home to purchase another, consider additional costs, i.e. energy performance certificates, final bills and removals.
