ADD KERB APPEAL TO GENERATE MORE INTEREST AND BETTER OFFERS

Selling your home can be a competitive business, where first impressions certainly count. When there is less daylight around, having good ‘kerb appeal’ will be vital as potential buyers will scope out the area, and make firm judgements on your property. 

“It is vital that your property looks presentable on the outside, as this will be the first thing your viewer will notice. It’s common sense; take a step back and try to be objective. Put yourself in the buyers shoes and think about will appeal to them.

“Try to do all the overdue maintenance jobs where possible. Is the garden gate falling off? Is the paintwork flaking on the windows? Could the front door do with a lick of paint? Improving all the small things will contribute to the larger picture.

“If your property has a front garden make sure the lawn is mowed, foliage is cut back and the area is devoid of any rubbish or clutter. Keep the path clear and remove any dead hanging baskets. Children’s toys should be put away and if possible bins should be stored away.” It’s the small things that can make a huge difference to the number and quality of offers a property might receive. A day spent having a good hard look at the property and sorting out all of those little jobs will probably bring you the single biggest return on your investment in your home! Good luck!” Chris Wood Director
