You know what they say about first impressions, they last!
So, when it comes to selling or letting your property, preparation is key. Basically, you need to nail the viewing process to make sure your investment doesn’t lag on the market. We’ve compiled a few simple tricks that will help you win viewers over in no time.
Would I buy or rent this property?
Try to put yourself in the viewers shoes. This will make it easier to spot small unpleasantries. Remember the devil is in the detail.
Declutter, declutter and declutter
We cannot stress this enough. You want to create a blank canvas for the viewer. Don’t stuff things in closets because the viewer might open them to check for space. Have a thorough clean and declutter before the viewing.
Air out the property
Unpleasant smells can immediately put off a viewer. Make sure to open some windows before the viewing to let in the fresh air. Invest in a scent diffuser or a gentle room spray, but also don’t overdo it.
A Dream house is always a clean house
We think this goes without saying. Make sure the property is clean from top to bottom. It’s especially important during the pandemic to disinfect all services and to maintain a hygienic space for all who enters.
Temperature control
Make sure the heating is switched on in the chillier months but remember to keep some windows open for fresh air. You also don’t want it to be too warm and stuffy.
Estate agents
If you’re unsure of the viewing process, it’s always best to consult your estate agent. They are experts in the field and will make sure the process runs smoothly.
