Selling your home can be a right pain for many, but the reason that happens is that many property owners tend to go over the top when planning the sale of their home. With the help of Flight Decorating, a professional painting and decorating service in Essex, you can fix up your home to make a fast and satisfying sale in just a few steps.
So let’s see what you’re doing wrong in your efforts to sell the old place, and what you could do better.
1. Tidy up and declutter
It should stand to reason that when presenting your home to a potential buyer, you’d want it to look as neat and tidy as possible. We understand that your possessions are valuable to you, but it’s important when prepping your home for sale, to try and eliminate as many unnecessary items as possible.
Try to put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. This is a home they may want to live in someday, and that becomes harder to imagine when the same is riddled with somebody else’s things. So an important step towards selling your home is simply tidying up, both cleaning and scrubbing, but also letting go of the items you no longer need, or you can keep in storage until the move.
2. Focus on natural light
Light plays an important and often misunderstood role in our lives. It impacts the way we work, but also the space we inhabit. This is why, in presenting your home for sale, it’s important to bring in as much natural light, as possible. Well-lit spaces appear larger, but also happier (particularly when using natural light, or artificial warm light).
This impression inspires potential buyers about wanting to live here, and so increases your chances of successfully selling your home.
3. Go for neutral
Another important aspect in presenting your home is focusing on neutral decor. When the home becomes overly crowded with personal items or a unique, or unusual style, it can be difficult for potential buyers to picture themselves living here.
So try to keep your furniture bare, arranged in neutral, traditional, poses, to make the home accessible to as many folks as possible.
4. Re-paint the house
When you’ve lived in your home for a while, you become accustomed to its minor imperfections, such as the dull wall paint, or the slight cracks in the corners. And while these don’t necessarily constitute make-or-break deals in selling your home, they can impact how the buyer sees the property.
Having your home re-painted gives it a glossy new finish, and signals to visitors that it’s ready for a brand new start.
5. Invest in the exterior
You don’t get a second chance at a first impression, right? This is why you want potential buyers to like your home as soon as they see it. This means cleaning the driveway, re-painting the exterior, and trimming your front lawn, to make sure the house looks as inviting and appealing as possible.
