HOME PREPARATION
It's important that potential buyers are able to focus on your home with minimal distraction. So help me to help you create a great first impression by following these simple guidelines
-
All rooms
-
dusting and cleaning is good but de-cluttering is the priority
-
check all lamps and light fittings are working - a bright room is a bigger room
-
put shoes and coats away or arrange neatly
-
hide untidy newspapers
-
hide those smartphone chargers
-
open curtains and blinds and try to ensure windows are clean inside and out
-
tidy up childrens toys, pet toys, bowls and litter trays
-
remove rubbish and rubbish bins if possible
-
please try and keep pets and people out of the way
-
Kitchens
-
tidy the kitchen, remove all unnecessary items from counter tops & remove fridge magnets if possible
-
flowers are not essential but please avoid placing large flower bouquets in the centre of the room or on a breakfast island, they often block the view. A smaller bunch of flowers is preferred
-
Bedrooms
-
please make the beds
-
tidy bedrooms and remove as many clothes as possible from view
-
hide personal effects, such as medicines and paperwork
-
Bathrooms
-
remove personal effects, medicines, razors, shower caps etc
-
hide shower gels, but leave the designer soap dispensers
-
Outside
-
remove vehicles from driveways and please try to avoid parking directly in front of your house
-
try to hide bins, garden tools, hose pipes and any other clutter around the outside of your home
-
if possible, tidy the garden, mow and edge the lawn
-
remove weeds and leaves if possible
Thank you. If in doubt, please ask me.
