Tips to sell your house quickly

We can help you achieve a quick and guaranteed sale of your home, but if you have time to pursue the traditional sale method, the following are a few points to bear in mind.

1. Go clutter free!

No budding buyer wants to look at your pile of videos or fancy power tools, worse still any dirty washing. You don’t need to convert your house into a show home however they expect you to show potentially It could look like.

2. Elbow grease works!

This is very important. Women will make the decision on purchasing a property most of the time. Even the singleton will get female advice.

3. Keep Kitchens and bathrooms clean!

These places can build up the most dirt and grim. Tidy and clean are all that these rooms usually need. A new shower curtain and fresh towels will go a long way.

4. DIY jobs not finished properly

When you are moving people tend not to bother finishing off those DIY jobs which started with much enthusiasm. But these are costs which a would-be buyer will start adding up. If the potential buyer instructs a full survey or a Homebuyers Report all these things will be noted. These faults can be used to bargain a reduction in the asking price.

5. keep it simple

A potential buyer needs to feel they can live in this property, this becomes difficult if all your personal items are all over the house. Remove any ‘collections’ or hobbies. This will also help you to gain a mind set ready for the move.

6. Don’t forget the outside.

Most people will have a look from the outside and will not consider a viewing if it's not what they want from the outside.

If your property doesn't get them through the door you're wasting your time. Once they are through the door, the majority of people make a decision quickly. If your entrance is warm and welcoming they will get that feeling.

7. Neutralise

Opt for warm neutral colours these all work well for carpets and walls.

If you need to cheer the place up, add some accessories that you can take with you, rather than bold colours.

8. Purpose of each room

Each room should be as it is intended to be. A three bedroom house should be a three bedroom house not two bedrooms and a storage room. If you use a bedroom as a study/laundry room/storage room then put in a sofa bed.
