Top Tips: How to Make Your Home Sell Faster

By Al Twitty | December 18, 2019

Getting your home ready for viewers to look around, or ‘staging’ as it's more commonly known, is important. It can help sell a property faster, and could even add value to your property. Below are some top tips that will help you get your house looking at its best:

1.      Declutter

Have a good clear out. Sell items that you no longer want to keep or give them to a charity. If you have a lot of knick-knacks, then it might be an idea to store them at a friend’s house while trying to sell your home. Buyers want to be able to envisage what their property would look like if they were to move in. This can be difficult if there is a lot of clutter around the place.

However, it is important that you don’t take too much away. A house that has no personality is unlikely to sell. Try and show it in its best light. In this modern world, people are after a lifestyle rather than just a home, so try and show them just what their life would be like if they were to live in your property.

2.      Give it a Fresh Coat of Paint

A house that has had a fresh, neutral lick of paint will stand out to buyers. It will also help your property look bigger and lighter. Many buyers like the idea of a blank canvas that they can change to suit their needs. They will also like the idea that they can move straight in without having to re-decorate beforehand. You could even paint the front door a new color so that it stands out from your neighbors.

3.      Clean and Mend

If there are any repairs that need doing, it’s a good idea to get them done. Cracked tiles, broken hinges and threadbare carpets may put a buyer off. Once everything has been mended, you need to clean your house to a good quality. Try and get rid of any visible limescale in the bathroom, and to make it look even better, place some fresh towels in the room.

If you’re worried that your budget isn’t big enough to complete all of these repairs, or you’re wanting a quick sale, then consider getting someone to Buy My House Cash. They will offer you a price for your property and help you through the whole process, meaning you don’t need to undertake any repairs or decluttering beforehand. They also pay for all your normal costs.

It’s important that you don’t forget about the outside of your property. Make sure your garden is both tidy and appealing to buyers. Clean any patio furniture that you have and cut the grass. A garden that is well cared for will allow buyers to visualize themselves owning it.

4.      Update Your Kitchen

If you can afford it, then this is where you should spend the majority of your money. The kitchen is known as the hub of the home, so many people look for their ideal kitchen when they are property shopping. A cheaper option than replacing cupboards is to reface your cabinets with new doors. This can often have a big impact on the look of a kitchen.

There are lots of things you can do to help your property sell. From making sure that it is clean and de-cluttered to changing any broken fixtures and fittings. Why not give some of these a go?
