Don’t forget the Garden when selling your house.

No Comments »

Many will laugh when I mention this but one of the key points to remember when trying to sell your home is not to forget the garden space. The less space you have, the more you must concentrate on making it as inviting as possible and as the summer months arrive, it is the perfect time to make the most of your properties garden(s).

Not to imply that you have to spend a great deal of money on professional landscapers but making sure to clear away weeds and rubbish is the most important step. If you have a lawn then ensuring that you mow the grass and tidy the edgings is also a main action to take. You can buy inexpensive shrubbery and colourful plants for flower beds and trim back any bushes that have overgrown to offer as much space as possible to entice new buyers.

For next to nothing the addition of a cheap but sturdy garden furniture or patio table and chairs can add a homely ambience to your garden and any exterior walls that are looking old or tired can easily be brightened with a quick coat of neutral exterior masonry paint to give you a cost effective way to add value and the chance of a sale to your property.

What to do when selling your home.

No Comments »

First impressions make all the difference when selling your property, giving potential buyers the scope to see the true potential of your home and what could be possible for them. Some really handy tips include such things as giving your property a really good spring clean to offer an inviting, clean and tidy home.

Many home buyers do tend to purchase properties that are presentable and dust free as ensuring this shows that you have taken pride in your home and instils a level of trust amongst those viewing your property. Something as simple as a quick polish can go well towards a decision being made.

Ensuring a clean uncluttered home will enable potential investors and buyers to detach the association between you and the property. In doing this they will be able to take a more unbiased look at the potential your home has for them. In addition applying a little bit of basic DIY skills to your home, such as a coating of paint in neutral colours can really improve your chances of selling.

Making small but significant changes really make all the difference. These could include fresh linen on the beds, new curtains, using tasteful scatter cushions on the bed or sofa and other inviting tricks of the trade all go to making your home irresistible to potential clients.

In UK by law, every property put on the market must have a Home Information Pack. The HIP provides an upfront picture of what the seller is selling and the buyer is buying.  It contains the sale statement, local searches, evidence of title and even an Energy Performance Certificate with tips on how to cut CO2 emissions.

 

With this kind of information at the start of the selling/buying process, a transaction is less likely to fall through before it is executed. As a buyer you have a right to see the Home Information Pack and you must ask for one from the agent you are dealing with.
