Spring has sprung!
So, if you’ve decided you want to make the most of the sunny weather and put your property on the market then it’s time to start getting it ready so buyers can see it in its best light.
Get into the garden
Spring is all about getting outdoors and enjoying the weather so pay attention to garden areas. At the front of the house you want to make a good first impression. You can do this by making sure that paths and driveways are clear, weeds are long gone
and hedging is neat.
In the backyard you might want to concentrate on creating an attractive space that can be used for entertaining, perhaps by clearing out an undercover area and placing an outdoor setting.
Consider minor updates
You don’t need to do a full renovation, but a couple of small improvements may help improve your property’s overall appeal. Painting is one effective way to freshen up a property, but you may also like to consider new flooring in some rooms, or small changes in your kitchen and bathroom.
Where you should concentrate your time and resources really depends on the current
state of your property and what needs the most attention.
Clean, clean, clean
It’s time to put on the gloves and give the property a clean like it’s never had before. Every nook and cranny should be sparkling. Pay attention to forgotten areas like ovens and high ceilings. In many cases a professional cleaning service is useful to help make the property look like new again.
Put stuff in storage
Get a head start on the moving process by putting away things that you won’t need during the sale. The less stuff you have hanging around the property the better, unless it’s useful for staging purposes.
Ask a friend or relative if you can store your items at their place during the sale or you can hire out a storage unit until you move.
