First Impressions last the longest !

Take a critical look at the outside of your home to make sure the first message you give to potential buyers is that of a well maintained, cared for property. Sweep the pathways, trim the hedges, mow the lawn and remove any weeds. Invite people in through a well presented, paint-chip free door with shining door knobs.

 Tidying up campaign !

Create the feeling of space by cleaning away, boxing up, throwing out and ruthlessly tidying up. After all, you’ll have to do that when you move house anyway.

 Smell sweet !

Tempt the senses with discreet aromas. Influence perception by adding delicate fragrances in each area. Clean and vibrant for the bathroom. Using air fresheners. Warm and homely for the kitchen using fresh coffee or fresh baking. Subtle and light for the bedroom using potpourri.

 Sound good !

Music has been successful used in many selling environments so consider playing soft music. Turn the television off or, at least, down.

 Small Repair Deployment!

Check the doorbell and exterior light work to welcome your visitors. Look out for chipped paint and dripping taps. Secure any loose doormats or carpets. Attend to those nagging little repairs that say so much about the maintenance record of your home.
