This guide offers simple steps you can take to enhance your home’s desirability when selling your property.
This is not about major overhauls, but smart, quick wins that make a real difference.
Maximise Kerb Appeal
- Sweep pathways, clear weeds.
- Wipe down front door (touch up paint if feasible).
- Clean front-facing windows.
- Tidy potted plants or add new ones. Mow front lawn.
Up Estates Tip: A welcoming exterior sets a positive tone for the entire viewing.
Fresh & Tidy Interior
- Declutter key areas (living, kitchen, Bedroom One). Clear surfaces.
- Temporarily box up non-essential items. Clear floors.
- Speed clean kitchen (surfaces, sink) & bathroom (suite, taps).
- Quick vacuum & dust. Air out the property.
Up Estates Tip: A clean, clutter-free home feels spacious and cared for, letting buyers focus on its best features.
Quick Fixes & Finishing Touches
- Replace blown lightbulbs.
- Tighten loose door handles/knobs.
- Address minor wall scuffs (magic eraser/touch-up).
- Pack away excessive personal photos. Ensure home smells fresh (natural scents or fresh air).
Up Estates Tip: Small fixes prevent distractions and show buyers your home is well-maintained.
Setting the Scene for Viewings
- Open curtains/blinds, turn on lamps for brightness.
- Add fresh flowers/fruit. Make beds neatly.
- Fresh, neat towels in bathrooms; clear personal toiletries.
- Ensure comfortable temperature.
Up Estates Tip: Create a welcoming, comfortable feel to help buyers fall in love with the lifestyle.
