Presenting your property to sell

First impressions

The preparation you put into getting your property ready for sale and how it presents to the buying public is a major factor in the selling process. First impressions are lasting and can be the difference between achieving an average price and a premium price.

Most home buyers will generally drive or walk past your property to decide whether or not to arrange an inspection, so we have put together a list of tips to assist you to create maximum buyer interest:

• Mow lawns, weed and tidy the garden
• Prune trees and shrubs close to the house
• Clean dust and cobwebs from the exterior
• Remove rubbish
• Repair small maintenance problems & paintwork

Creating space internally by de-cluttering rooms & removing excess furniture will enable buyers to fully appreciate room sizes. Tips for inside the home include:

• Attend to all minor repairs, ie. leaking taps, creaking doors, cracks in walls and ceilings
• Vacuum/steam clean carpets, wash floors & windows
• Kitchen, wash & store all dishes, clean oven
• Bathrooms, ensure all surfaces are clean, ie. basins, vanities, showers, toilets and tiles
• Make up beds
• Maximise available natural light, open blinds & curtains
• Keep rooms free from clutter and toys
