Here, they offer some top tips when preparing your house for a viewing.
WHEN HOSTING a viewing in your home, first impressions are vital to secure an offer and gain the best possible price.
Good presentation can be the difference between thousands of pounds in offers – but you don’t have to be a top designer or DIY expert to create a welcoming and attractive home that prospective purchasers can see themselves moving into.
Here are some tips from Bridges for preparing your house for viewings:
- De-clutter: The more available space you can create, the bigger your rooms will look and it is more likely viewers can mentally move their furniture in. Removing personal items can help to make your property feel less like your ‘home’ and so it will be easier for viewers to see themselves living there
- Freshen up: A coat of paint can go a long way – and don’t forget the front door! Putting fresh flowers out looks great and can also smell great too, and a tidy garden will impress. Pop the heating on before a viewer arrives as a warm welcome is an inviting home
- Finish odd jobs: Those light bulbs that need changing will only add to any imagined work viewers see when they look round. Make sure all paintwork is finished, weed the flowerbeds and fix any squeaky doors.
- A spotless home: A welcoming, desirable home will be clean and smell pleasant, so remove any potential pet hairs and odours, and do a good spring clean to make the tiles sparkle and show your property at its best.
Just a few small jobs can make a property stand out from the crowd. Many viewers look at several houses before making a decision, so make your property stick out in their minds.
