Here at Belvoir Leamington Spa, we pride ourselves in providing all of our buyers and vendors with a personal and bespoke estate agent experience.
Take the stress out of moving house with Belvoir’s top tips for selling your home:
- “Kerb appeal” – First impressions are everything and the key is to create a lasting one. A potential buyer could be put off by the exterior of your home, try to make sure that the front door, garden and fences are looking fresh and move bins out of sight. Try to accentuate any colour at the entrance for example flower beds or hanging baskets where possible. Try to ensure that the grass is cut and any unwanted items removed to leave the buyer excited to see what is inside
- Pets – As much as you (and we) love your pet, your potential buyers may not, so it is always best to remove your pet from the property while the viewings are taking place as well as traces of any pet hair where possible.
- Clean, tidy, and declutter – Less is more in this instance and remember that your décor will most likely be the first thing to go when the new buyers move in. A lick of paint can work wonders so make sure that any ongoing cosmetic work is completed leaving rooms smelling fresh and crisp. All rooms should be clean, kitchen esp
ecially, as this can be a selling point of a property. Ensure all worktops are clear and maybe add some flowers for the finishing touch.
- Free reign – Allow your buyers to wander freely around the property and feel comfortable. Some vendors choose to go out or stay out of the buyers way to allow them to peruse the property in peace. Leave the work to the agent.
- General maintenance – Make sure those little “odd jobs” are complete by the time the viewers arrive. Examples of these are lightbulb replacements, dripping taps, clogged guttering, small picture holes in walls, and possibly a fresh lick of paint where needed.
- Outside space – Ensure to pass on all information regarding outside space, especially if some of it is shared with neighbours. It is also important to let the potential buyers/agents know of any “high maintenance” areas of the garden or courtyard and details of any groundsmen or gardeners used.
It is also essential to pay attention to the way that your property is presented. A picture is worth a thousand words, and with the majority of viewers making choices from online photos alone, this is vital. At Belvoir we use a professional photographer for all of our sales properties and a bespoke virtual viewing to show the property from the comfort of your front room!
