Selling your home can be stressful – especially when hosting multiple property inspections. These property inspections should hopefully leave lasting impressions with potential buyers – for the right reasons. But what are some of the things that can help you achieve this?
Is your styling up to scratch?
It’s important to take a good hard look at your styling. While most buyers won’t be styling experts – well-styled spaces will leave a sense of warmth and comfort with them. Consistent and neutral styling can make all the difference to your home’s appeal. Colour choices that don’t divide are also a great way to go – beige, white and cream tones are safer. However, if you know what you are doing, then have some fun with colour! Another top tip is to remove any worn-out furniture – it can easily deter potential buyers.
There are multiple senses to appeal to
Most sellers often forget to appeal to all of the senses. Smell is often used by buyers in making assumptions about a home’s cleanliness. Musty, stale smelling homes will deter potential buyers – potentially leaving a bad first impression of your home in their mind.
You need to de-personalise your home
Over personalised homes can deter potential buyers. Being confronted by multiple family photos can often overwhelm buyers – and will stop them from seeing themselves in the house. You want them to feel welcome and relaxed, this will encourage them to walk around and explore the property – can they see themselves living there?
