Tips

For Presentation

If you are living in the property you need to be extra vigilant about keeping your property clean and tidy in preparation for viewings.

Tidy away personal posessions. Space is a key issue. Ask a friend to cast a critical eye over your house - they'll see the clutter you won't.

Use your senses - make sure every room (especially the kitchen and bathroom) looks, smells and feels fresh and clean.

Pull back curtains and blinds and let the light pour into create a bright, airy feeling and a sunny atmosphere.

Create a homely, inviting atmosphere. Fresh flowers are a welcome addition to any room. In winter months use lamps and glowing fires to create that warm, homely feeling.

Get your garden under control. Freshly swept pathways and drives, trimmed hedges and mowed lawns work wonders.

Make sure a potential buyer's first impression of your home is the best it can be.
