Tips For Selling Your Property

Keep it clean – Try to remove any personal items from your home and spend time de-cluttering to make the most out of your living space.

Sight – Whether it be replacing a missing tile or adding a new coat of paint, making small improvements when trying to sell your home can make the world of difference.

Smell – Not only should you make sure that everything looks great but that it also smells great. Ideally if you have pets you should try and arrange for someone to look after them whilst viewings are taking place.

Outside space – This is often a major selling point, so treat the outside of your property in the same way as you would treat the inside. Remember first impressions count.
