Before you list your property on the market, it is essential to ensure it is in its best possible condition:

• Declutter excess belongings to give the illusion of space and tranquility.
• A fresh lick of paint works wonders for any potential purchaser.
• Maximise kerb appeal and make sure that the approach to the property is as neat, tidy and appealing as is possible for immediate impact.
• Ensure that any minor repairs are carried out before viewings commence, i.e. door handles, broken tiles, chipped walls etc.  If the small details are immaculate it creates a feeling of confidence in the property.
• A through deep clean including grout, skirting boards, cupboard tops, picture frames and flat surfaces will always make the property look well kept.
• Property Valuation: Obtain a professional property valuation to determine its market worth. This valuation will help you set a realistic asking price.
• Enhancements: Consider making necessary repairs, upgrades, and improvements to boost your property’s appeal to potential buyers.
• Staging: Present your property in its best light by decluttering, cleaning, and arranging furniture to create a welcoming ambience.  Be mindful of atmospherics, lighting, sounds and smells when you are carrying out a viewing
