Presentation

First impressions count, so make sure that you prepare your property for viewing. Before you show anybody around your house make sure that it is clean and tidy. Remove the clutter. Open the windows and let some fresh air in and cooking smells out.

Take a long look around your house;

• is the paintwork looking tatty?
  
• the wallpaper peeling?
  
• the grass too long?
  

The approach to the front door is the first impression a visitor has, if this is not good it will taint what the buyer thinks of the rest of the property.

It might be a good idea to spend some time, and maybe a little money, to make sure that your property is presented in the best way possible by redecorating (but in neutral, clean colours), or by putting some new plants in the garden.

Spring clean the house from top to bottom. Get rid of the dust and grime. Clean all the windows – inside and out. If you have pets remember, not everybody is an animal lover. Remove excess furniture. Most important of all make absolutely certain that the toilets are clean and odour free.
