First impressions count from the
moment potential buyers view a property
from the street to the moment they walk
through the front door.
Weed the garden, cut back unruly
shrubs and prune trees where needed.
Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass
seed over bald patches and fertilise the
lawn.
Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess or
bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby items
or fitness equipment and if too many
photos on the wall pack these away so
the home looks roomy.
If there is a gap or a room needs
enhancing, look at what you have. A
piece of furniture might be painted up
or an old leather bound book popped
on the coffee table. Shelves will also add
depth to a narrow space while mirrors
may give the illusion of a larger space. In
entryways, add an easy chair, small table,
bookcase or large vase.
Awkward spaces such as coved ceilings
in attics or upstairs rooms might be
converted into storage shelving and
the room given a purpose as an office,
playroom or extra bedroom so viewers
can see how the room might be used.
Stow possessions neatly in containers,
shelving or tidily in cupboards;
highlighting the storage potential within
the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy
for viewing at any time.
Move the pets outside as not all buyers
will be pet lovers while some may suffer
pet allergies putting them off a house if
they see a pet inside.
If parts of the house look tired,
consider renovating by painting walls,
replacing worn carpet, or modernising
the kitchen, bathroom and toilet;
rooms that should sparkle. Replace
tired cabinetry, or the benches and
cupboard/drawer fronts then update old
toilets, showers or kitchen appliances.
Modernising these rooms can lift the
final selling price.
Use consistent and light paint colours
throughout for balance and seamlessness,
making the house appear more spacious.
An effect that is increased when walls
and curtains share the same or a similar
colour.
Consider the personality and purpose
of a room. Bright colours lift living areas
especially if large and open. However,
bedrooms are suited to calmer softer
colours with just a touch of bold. Layer
bedding or use throws for effect along
with cushions or a stuffed toy in a
children’s room.
With curtaining, smaller patterns or
plain fabrics are the rule for smaller
rooms whereas larger patterns make
spacious areas cosier. If blinds or drapes
are past their best, replace these even if it
is only with neutral cotton curtains. The
effect will be worth it.
Eco-friendly features will also add
value for some buyers though not
universally, however earthy natural
colours and features are popular.
Consider who your target buyers are
likely to be and what will appeal to them.
Move the pets outside as
not all buyers will be pet
lovers while some may
suffer pet allergies
