Are you looking to sell your property? At Philip Ellis Estate Agents, we have some useful tips and tricks to guide you through this transition.

It is important to understand that the housing market has an enormous effect on buying and selling properties, so always try to time your decision to buy or sell based on present market conditions. But perfect timing rarely comes along, and often you simply need to know how to get your sale underway as quickly as possible! Here are some helpful insights into selling your property.

Strike a Balance Between De-Cluttered and De-Personalised

Freshen up each room with a fresh coat of paint or add some trendy accessories to boost the aesthetics of your home as best as you can for any viewings. Buyers often like to envision their own future within the property, so we highly recommend keeping your personal belongings and clutter to a minimum. But it is just as important to not completely depersonalise the home by removing too much. you want the potential buyer to see that the house is a well-loved home, not a pristine showhouse. Striking this balance will help potential buyers to get a feel what their life would be like living there without putting them off with an overly sanitised interior.

Highlight Space At Every Opportunity

Having enough space to suit your lifestyle is one of the main deciding factors when buying a home. We would recommend removing anything that could make the space feel smaller, such as storage boxes, laundry baskets, and exercise equipment. This will give the potential buyer a clearer idea of what their life could look like within the home. If possible, position mirrors in a way that maximises natural light, making your space appear light, airy, and spacious.

Present a Warm and Welcoming Environment

Ensuring that you’re giving guests a warm welcome is important. Make sure your home is a warm and comfortable environment for buyers, as this will allow them to feel at home and begin picturing their own cosy evenings curled up on the sofa. If you have a fireplace or twinkly lights, put those on and it’ll add to the atmosphere you’re trying to create.

Complete Maintenance Tasks Before Viewings Begin

 If you have any broken components within your home like a dripping tap or a door that creaks every time you try to close it, then it should be a priority to get them fixed as this could make your home look less desirable and not properly cared for.
