Home Move Spring is one of the busiest times for buying & selling property, you just have to look how fat the Morning Telegraph is becoming! It’s difficult to gauge yet if it is a buyer or sellers market but, if you are thinking of selling you will almost certainly be competing for buyers. Here are some tips which may just help make your house stand out and create a good first impression: Catch-up with 'Deferred Maintenance'. Oil door hinges, stop squeaky floorboards with talcum powder, replace washers on dripping taps and missing hooks on the curtains. Fix all those things that you never got around to doing. Remember 'First Impressions' count! Curb Appeal. House buyers 'drive by' before they pick the houses to view. Make yours stand out by painting the front door , planting window boxes or tubs of colourful flowers, and make sure the house number is visible from the road. The big clear out. Clutter can be distracting to people trying to visualise living in your home. Remove any excessive personal effects from open display. If you have family portraits everywhere or your children's drawings all over the fridge, it becomes difficult for the potential buyer to feel at home in the space. Removal of clutter will also make your rooms look bigger. Buy a roll of bin liners. Check out your local charity shops. Pack your knick-knacks in boxes and seal down the lids and stack them (in the garage & not the spare room) ready for the day you move. Don’t forget, the same theory applies to outside as well. Clean Wash down emulsioned walls with a soft cloth and a little detergent and use match pots to touch up those damaged areas. Stick down lifting edges of wallpaper. You can crayon in scuff-marks on darker papers. If you do re-decorate to sell, use neutral light colours like cream, pale yellow and white woodwork. It's a winner every time! And clean the windows for maximum light. Don't forget to look up, your viewers' will. Dust or vacuum those cobwebs away especially around light fittings Small Investments Can Have A High Payoff While it is impractical to spend large amounts of money on a home you're trying to sell, little things can make a big difference: low cost improvements like repainting your bathroom or replacing a dingy carpet or lino kitchen floor can have a very positive effect on the overall impression of the house. It's a well known fact that small investments can pay off handsomely in increasing the selling price of your home. If you have the internet there is some excellent and more detailed advice at http://homebuying.about.com/od/sellingahouse/ht/homeprep.htm This will not create a good first impression!
