It’s official, yesterday the tabloids announced that Britain is officially in recession and the new figures show the worse decline in economic productivity since 1980.
This is not good news if you want to sell house fast, but there are things you can do to make your house more appealing to viewers, and the main thing to remember is that kitchens and bathrooms sell your home, so they need to be as up to date as possible.
People spend more time in the kitchen of their house than anywhere else in their home so it is important to de-clutter this area and clean ovens and cooker hood thoroughly.
Even if your house is jaded and tired it will look better if it’s cleaned throughout, de-cluttered and smelling fresh. Placing fresh flowers around can encourage an image of freshness, as can burning a scented candle or having bread baking in the oven.
When viewing a property, unfinished DIY, cigarette smoke, pets and children’s toys scattered around the house can be off putting, as people like to be able to imagine that they can just move in and get on with their lives. You need to appeal to the widest audience, so decorations need to be neutral to try to present as blank a canvass as possible. In this way prospective purchasers can visualize their favourite furniture and pictures in situ.
Estate agents who sell house often arrange viewings at short notice, which means that you have to keep on top of your property and always be ready. This can be particularly difficult if you have a large family and pets.
With the current economic climate your house may still take months to sell and all the while it will be devaluing.
