Everyone who sells their home wants a quick sale and the best price. Sounds good? Luck has nothing to do with making it happen. Preparing your home in advance, to look its best, as well as planning for viewings carefully will lead to that speedy sale and top price that you want.
This is a helpful guide to a few simple tricks you can use for a hassle-free sale, at a good price. You're going to do a business deal. Try to forget that this house is your home. It isn't for much longer. It's bricks and cement that you want someone else to buy now. In the near future you'll have a new house to call home!
Think about the day that you'll hand over the keys to this house; it will be here soon! Say goodbye to each room as you know it, and think about your new home.
Make your house a blank canvas. Pack away your personal belongings, make the walls bare. This way, you'll allow buyers the freedom to imagine this house as their home; their possessions, heirlooms and other personal items in place. They can't do this if your things are in the way.
Most people clutter up their homes over the years. This won't look good to buyers. Give away the things you don't need to friends, family, or a charity shop. If you've not used an item for over a year, you don't need it. Take your books off their shelves, and send them to storage, ready for your new home. Any items in regular use can be put in a box, which can then be retrieved as and when you need it. This way, you'll also have made a start with the packing.
Buyers looking around your house will be nosey. They'll look in drawers, cupboards and wardrobes. If you minimise clutter, and everything's neat and tidy, this will help to give a good impression, as well as showing how much you have cared for the house. Hang up your shirts neatly, clear the tables, and keep the kitchen clean and tidy. This makes you and your house look good, and is encouraging to buyers.
If you have a lot of furniture in your house, send it to storage. There's nothing worse than a cluttered home; your buyers need to have the freedom to look around easily, as well as imagine each room as their own, and how they will use it. Once the bookcases are bare, remove them. If any items of furniture make a space look cramped, remove those too.
If there are minor repairs or things to fix, ensure these are done. If there are squeaky doors, jammed drawers or hard to open windows, it won't take much time to put these things right. It will also make sure your house appears well looked after. Another useful idea is to neutralise the colours in every room. There's nothing worse for buyers than remembering the house with the orange bedroom!
