In
the short term, there are a number of
things that can improve your chance of a
sale. A tidy front garden and new outside
paintwork are small but valuable
improvements - remember, first impressions
really do count.
Light and neutral colours inside are good
- bear in mind that whereas you might like
vibrant colours, they are not to
everyone's taste.
Give
your home a proper spring clean. Remember
- if you do any painting inside your home
to wait a few days for the smell to
disappear before you put it on the market.
Buyers may assume you are trying to hide
something under a fresh coat of paint.
Clear
out clutter - it may make you feel at home
but can put off purchasers. Remember that
a light uncluttered room will look larger.
Clear
up the garden and get rid of any rubbish.
Cutting the grass and trimming hedges and
unruly bushes is also recommended.
If your dearest family pet is getting on
the smelly side, invest in a few plug-in
air fresheners to clear the air. There's
nothing like walking into a house that
smells 'doggie' or like the local fish n'
chip shop. Fresh flowers and fruit bowls
are always a pleasure to the eye.
