Selling Your Property
It is important to spend a little time freshening up the look of your property, inside and out. The results may not only add to the sale price, but encourage more buyer interest.
What works:
Clean, bright and airy residences
Neutral colours
Well-landscaped gardens
Plenty of outdoor living space such as decks and covered patios
Soft music and a pleasant fragrance
What doesn’t:
Dark, dingy residences
Unpleasant smells, especially cigarette smoke and animal odours
Filth and clutter
Loud noise (e.g. television or radio)
Recommendations:
Clean out cupboards to give an impression of space
Take away all unnecessary furniture to leave rooms uncluttered
Fix all obvious faults and tidy up yards
Steam clean and deodorise carpets professionally
Paint over marked walls to brighten up a room quickly
Replace brightly coloured curtains and wall colours with neutral tones
