Bridges Estate Agents in Uppermill gives advice on how to help your house sell.
WHEN PRESENTING your home for sale on the property market, it is important to remember that, while it is still your family home, prospective purchasers who view your house will try to visualise themselves living there, writes Raychel Hobbs.
Therefore it is vital to present a practical and appealing home. Staging your property is an excellent way to help viewers to achieve this.
To some extent, staging is not only de-cluttering, but also de-personalizing. Well-presented rooms which reflect their intended purpose help to show off your house’s selling points.
It’s important to remember that taste is personal, so aim to make your home appeal to a wider audience.
If you have an unused guest bedroom, stage it to look inviting and comfortable. Use a proportionate sized bed and night table to create a bedroom with both space and practicality.
Similarly, regardless of the size of a dining room, a well selected table and chairs should offerboth a place to entertain while retaining a sense of space.
Staging a house doesn’t have to cost the earth. Paint is one of the most inexpensive ways to transform the look and feel of a room in as little as a day.
Keep windows free from dark or heavy curtains as natural light will always make a space feel welcoming and bright.
While viewing may be quieter over the festive season, be prepared for the many potential purchasers that will come with the New Year, and make your home stand out.
