Making the right impression when preparing your home for sale

The specific circumstances behind someone selling their home can vary significantly. Whether a fresh start elsewhere is the motivation, or if the decision has been taken out of their hands through job relocation for example, moving home is a highly significant occurrence in a person’s life. Although one component of moving house that is more ‘concrete’ is that it is necessary to prepare the property for the whole process.

It can be somewhat difficult continuing to live somewhere in between showing prospective buyers around the place and items that are very personal to you, such as family photographs, may need to be taken down in order for the interested party to make a proper assessment of the property.

Making the space less personal, for the time being at least, is a theme that you should try to stick to if you have a viewing, so if there are certain products in the bedroom and bathroom it is advisable to store them away.

Make sure that the outside area of your home is as tidy as possible, including the hedge, the lawn, the driveway and also the windows. It is important to show the property at its very best and to accentuate all the possibilities that it holds so the buyer will be suitably enticed. An extremely useful tip to keep in mind is to take a step back outside your home and think about how it makes you feel and how it may be perceived by others.
