If your house is up for sale and you are not quite sure how to present it. Read on to find some top tips
Don’t be afraid to add Christmas decorations to your house. However, it it’s important not to go over the top with the volume of decorations and the colours that you use.
Remember that buyers are not just looking at the bricks and mortar, these days it’s all about buying into a lifestyle. Tasteful decorations can enhance your buyers’ perception of your property.
Don’t put prospective buyers off with lots of outside lights, either a small selection of tasteful lights or a wreath on the door will be much more appealing.
Ensure that when you have viewings your house is tidy and smells nice. There is a varied choice of reed diffusers on the market today which can help add a calming and soothing air to your property, which can help your viewers instantly relax.
Remember that it gets dark early this time of the year so make sure that you either leave lights on, put lights on timers or instruct your agent on which lights to switch on to enhance your property.
A warm property will also set viewers instantly at ease and make them able to appreciate your property comfortably.
Make sure that your garden is tidy, we are nearly at the end of the Autumn leaf fall, so make sure your paths are clear and tidy and that if possible you have a small amount of colour in your garden. This can be achieved with Winter bedding plants or a planter by your front door.
Finally, if you don’t manage to sell your house over the festive season do not be afraid to ask your agent to renew photographs if your photos show your Christmas decorations or poor weather conditions such as snow.
If your house isn’t already on the market don’t wait till the new year to put it on the market. Christmas is a time for family, but also a time where many people reflect and plan ahead for the new year. Statistics show that Christmas time is when property portals such as 'rightmove' receive some of their highest levels of traffic throughout the year.
