Top 10 Tips for Selling

1. Pay attention to your kerb appeal – you only get one chance to make a first impression.

2. Ensure your front door is clean and in good order – buyers will have time to observe it while they are waiting to greeted.

3. If you have a window on your front door, make sure the view through it looks tidy and inviting – making a positive impression from the first glance will set the tone for the rest of the viewing.

4. Plan a logical route through the property – ensure it is clear with no obstacles.

5. Finish off any outstanding DIY jobs – anything requiring work will be an instant 'red flag' to buyers.

6. Ensure the property smells pleasant – ensure any smoke, pet or other odours are eliminated and use essential oils or natural fragrances to appeal to buyers noses.  If the weather permits, also give the house a good airing.

7. Tidy up! – It sounds obvious but it's often overlooked.

8. Plump up all cushions, duvet covers and sofa seats – you want everything to look as inviting as possible.

9. Greenery is essential – flourishing plants give the impression of a healthy environment and fresh flowers give an extra lift.

10. Try to think like a buyer – walk around your house and try to identify anything that would put you off buying it.
