So here are a few tips that we hope sellers might find useful:

 

1.    A new coat of paint on the front door gives a great first impression.

2.    A tidy property suggests that storage space is not a problem, so make a point of clearing away any unnecessary clothes, toys, magazines, crockery, etc.. You never know when you might have a viewing.

3.    Go through your house and donate anything you no longer need to charity.

4.    Have the carpets professionally cleaned.

5.    Make sure nothing smells! Except the coffee!

6.    Check that the grouting/sealant in the bathroom is not discoloured.

7.    Make sure all the lights work and the house is well-lit – even during the day.

8.    Avoid hanging too much on the back of doors. Overcrowded hooks prevent doors from opening fully, making rooms look smaller.

9.    Keep the windows sparkling clean, inside and out.

10.Ensure the garden is tidy, lawn mown, leaves cleared away, beds attractive. Screen off any unsightly areas - and keep the car clean as well.

11.Check and repair any dripping taps, leaking gutters, squeaking hinges, etc..
