Impact

Although you are moving on, achieving a sale will depend upon someone else wanting to move in.

There may be areas of your home that would benefit from an investment of time and money in order to enhance its appeal to buyers. At Pring & Co we will always take the time to advise you on ways to enhance the appeal of your home in a cost-effective way.

It is important that your home looks and feels well maintained. Buyers will want to feel that a property has been well cared for. Imagine you are looking around your house for the first time, make a list of all the things that would benefit from attention, doors that stick, taps that drip etc and rectify any problems.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Before each viewing take the time to make sure your house is looking its best. Check each room with a ‘critical eye’. Once you develop a routine this process should be relatively quick and easy.

Living in a ‘Staged home’ is not the same as living in a ‘lived-in’ home, but if you can keep on top of cleaning and tidying it will pay dividends for you.

Whilst it can be time-consuming and sometimes difficult, maintaining a home in pristine condition for the period it is on the market is well worth it. Your efforts now will contribute to a positive reaction from buyers, which in turn will make an ‘offer’ more likely. You will then be able to start making your plans for the future.
