Getting Your House Ready To Sell

 

 

These are tips that won't cost a lot but can make a big difference to the appearance of your home. It is amazing how just a little attention to the details will add that special appeal that will clinch the deal!

 

 

 

Clean up the outside.

 

· Curb appeal is the first impression of your house. Keeping the grass cut and the area tidy will help make a great first impression.
· Paint or wash the exterior of the house (including window casings, shutters, and doors).
· Wash the windows inside and out. Check the gutters and chimney.

Touch up the interior.

 

· Put a fresh coat of paint in the most used areas of the home. This will clean as well as brighten up the rooms. Wash the walls where paint is not appropriate (i.e. wall paper, panelling).
· Wash all floors and bathroom tiles. Shampoo dirty carpets.
· Get rid of clutter. Clean out your closets, garage, basement and attic. Replacing air filters will help keep the dust down.

Replace bathroom and kitchen fixtures that are worn or leaking.

 

· People will notice a leaking or worn-out tap. By replacing these items, you will give a new look to the room.
· Clean under the sinks. If there any leaks fix them. Then clean up the damage using paint.

 

Smells

Get rid of any bad smells in your home.

 

· Pay attention to pet or cigarette odours.
· Place scented potpourri around the house.
· On the day you're expecting a potential buyer, pop a batch of frozen cinnamon rolls or home-made bread into the oven for a great aroma.

 

Solicitor

Use a solicitors firm to handle the closing.

 

A lawyer can handle the title search and paper work for a very small fee. It is well worth the cost.
