Steps to sell with success

If you’re planning to sell your house, you already know there’s plenty to think about and get done; that’s no surprise, but make sure you don’t neglect the small details, as they need time and attention too. Seemingly minor adjustments can make a real difference to how a property is perceived and, ultimately, priced. Before listing your house for sale, these finishing touches are sure to benefit: 

Define spaces

Over the years, rooms in your home can evolve from their original purpose. Intentional or not, this is pretty common, but when it comes to selling, clarity is king. So, for example, if your spare bedroom has morphed into a dumping ground or storage depot, converting it back to its original purpose will showcase the space properly and help market the house more effectively.  

Depersonalise and ditch any quirks

Removing some of the more personal objects from around your home is a good idea. Depersonalising, without removing every object entirely, will make it easier for prospective buyers to imagine themselves living in your house. Also taking away any overly quirky features will stand you in good stead.

Appearances matter

If you’ve been putting off any DIY tasks, now’s the right time to get them done. By presenting a well-maintained property, you’re highlighting to prospective buyers that the house has been well cared for, which is reassuring, giving them confidence that they’re unlikely to uncover any nasty surprises. In contrast, if buyers notice obvious DIY shortfalls, it’s likely they will factor the costs of carrying these out into their offer price.
