FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE LASTING

From the moment potential purchasers arrive at your property, it should be evident that the gardens and lawns are well presented. Garden rubbish should be disposed of, and paths and verandahs kept clear of debris. Toys, sporting equipment and garden tools, etc., should be stored away to enhance the appearance of both your front and rear gardens.

A WELL-PRESENTED PROPERTY ENSURES THAT POTENTIAL PURCHASERS FEEL WELCOME

These days, lifestyle has become increasingly important in the sale of properties.

Your property should always be kept neat and tidy throughout the sale period. It should present an inviting, uncluttered environment by ensuring that the arrangement of furniture is accommodating for quite a number of people viewing the property at the same time. Fresh flowers, indoor plants and paintings always help to brighten-up rooms.

REPAIRS ARE IMPORTANT

Make sure that all minor repairs are completed. Sticking doors and windows, loose doorknobs, faulty plumbing, peeling paint, etc., may affect your sale by making potential purchasers feel that there may be many more concealed problems in store for them.

LET AS MUCH LIGHT IN AS POSSIBLE

Everyone loves a bright and sunny property, but this is not always possible. However, try to keep windows as free as possible of enclosing drapes and blinds, and always have them open. Plus, especially on dull days, switch on the lights.

MAKE POTENTIAL PURCHASERS FEEL PHYSICALLY COMFORTABLE

On cold days, a warm property adds a feeling of cosiness. On hot days, a cool breeze helps. Remember that many potential purchasers are looking to buy a home in which to live, and will judge your property accordingly.

DON'T BE THERE DURING PROPERTY VIEWINGS

Potential purchasers are intimidated when the vendor is there, and feel that they cannot freely discuss the property with your real estate agent.

MUSIC AND PETS

Background music helps fill a void and allows groups of potential purchasers to talk without fear of being overheard. Classical music, modern jazz, or chillout, without any vocals, are the best.

Some people are allergic to animals, so it's advisable to have pets away from the property during viewings. At the same time, ensure that there is no cat or dog fur around, and that the property smells fresh and clean.
