Top Tips for selling your Home in 2023

If you re thinking of putting your home on the market in 2023, Here are some tips to help get you moving:

1.De-Clutter - The biggest reason people give for moving house is lack of space in their current house. They feel they have outgrown the space. They are therefore looking for a home that gives them that space, and more to grow into.

If they come to your home and see that you are running out of space, its the biggest turnoff you could give.

Also, decorate if you need to, neutral colours of course. If carpets are looking tired replace them. Present your home to the best it can be.

2.Lighting - Make sure you have the correct lighting for viewings. On a dull day make sure you turn on a lamp or 2 or the main lights. Make sure every light is working.

Did you know if you swap old halogen lights for LED fittings they use 80% less energy for the same amount of light.

This will also save on your energy bills which you can demonstrate to a potential buyer.

3.First Impressions Count! - Make sure the outside of your house is looking its best.

Repaint the door if needed, sweep up any leaves or debris and mow the lawn.

4.Be competitive - Once you have decided to sell, make sure you agree on an attractive asking price for your property. This will result in more buyers interested in your property which can lead to multiple offers.

Yo may end up achieving a higher price for your property.
