Present Your Property Well To Sell It Quickly And At The Best Possible Price

In the current market, presentation of your property is key. We can put your property in front of as many applicants as possible and we can encourage them to view, but the presentation of your property, how it looks when people come to view it, is all important to achieving the best possible sale price.

Key to successfully selling your home is to highlight and enhance your property’s best features, its unique selling points. Every property’s got some and more likely than not, they are the ones that sold it to you in the first place. These may be a large kitchen diner that is great for sociable dinner parties, an un-overlooked garden with attractive trees and plants or original features throughout the property that add character and charm. Whatever they are, make sure you show them off as much as possible in the way you present your home.
For example, if it’s got two or three good sized bedrooms, make sure they’re tidy so people can see how big they are. If it’s got parking for several cars, ensure the space is clear so people can see how much room is available. If it’s got a large garden, make sure its tidy, well maintained and free of weeds. During viewings, keep your kitchen and bathroom(s) are as clean and tidy as possible, especially if they’re a little on the small side. Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses so make yours look as good as possible.

In a slow market, it’s all about improving marketability, making the very best of what your home has to offer and ensuring that every good point is highlighted to your potential buyers. If an area of your home has started to look a little tired and could do with a lick of paint to spruce it up then the time and money spent making these small home improvements will be well worth the effort. If a gutter is leaking or a tap dripping, have it repaired. Little jobs like these can put off a buyer when in reality they don't take much to fix.

Pay particular attention to the outside of your home and the view from the road. Often buyers will drive past a property to check it out before arranging a viewing. Make sure your property looks inviting and creates a positive first impression. If paint is peeling from window frames, have them re-painted, make sure your front door is clean and / or newly painted, keep windows sparkling clean and the front garden neat and tidy.

The result of taking the time to present your property well is that it will sell more quickly and for a better price. Well marketed and well presented properties will always attract interest from buyers and following these simple steps, will ensure your property stands out from the competition
