First impressions count

You have just seconds to create a good first impression, and therefore curb-side appeal is so important. Here are some things to think about when selling your property:

Make sure your agents ‘For Sale’ sign is looking clean and tidy with clear contact details, and is in a visible position for passers-by.

Clean the windows and front door and clear guttering.

Focus on your front door – could it do with re-hanging or painting?

Sweep and tidy any steps or pathways so accessing your property is simple to do.

Invest in nice numbering or a name plaque. Utilise space – if you have parking or room to sit outside, show this to potential buyers.

Scrape away any loose paint on the property and give areas a lick of paint if needed. Tidy the front garden/driveway area and make sure bins are out of the way where possible.

Replant any hanging baskets or borders you have.

Have nice lighting outside for those passing in the evening.
