It’s important to do whatever is possible to have your property looking its absolute best for inspections. Buyers often make decisions based on an emotional response to the look and feel of a property. Improving the appeal of your home will ensure a better response and increase its price potential.

The following list offers some simple tips to get you started.
Spring Clean - A thorough spring clean is a good starting point, removing any cobwebs and brightening surfaces.
Light - Ensure that all available light is maximised. This is enhanced by clean, clear surfaces, unobstructed views through windows as well as providing good incandescent lighting.
Space - Achieve a spacious look by removing any unnecessary furniture and clutter. Once you get going you’ll be amazed by how much space becomes available and how much you can do without! It’s also great preparation for your impending move.
Paint - If time and budget permit, a fresh coat of paint to the façade, fences, doors and architraves makes the world of difference. Choosing light, neutral colours will help achieve a clean, bright and spacious look.
Repair - Attend to all of those minor repairs that you’ve been meaning to get around to. Enlist a handyman or spend a weekend making sure gates, doors, windows and cupboards open and close freely. Have any minor plumbing or electrical problems attended to b a professional.
Terrace/Balcony - Tidy any garden beds, potted plants or shrubs and remove any clutter or plants which are past their peak. It is important that there is a clear path for traffic and any views are unobstructed.
Pets - If you have pets make sure that your home is free of pet odour and make arrangements to ensure pets are not underfoot during inspections.
