Statistics recently published state that the 1 in 3 households in the UK currently keep pet dogs/cats and this number is growing fast. The reverse side of this is that 2 out of 3 households, and potential viewers, do not have any animals, and as such, a pet free zone is the most beneficial way to present your property on viewings to potential future owners.
Present the garden neat and tidy – lawn mown and borders weeded. Keeping rooms clear of any unessential clutter can make a huge difference to potential buyers. Finding attractive storage for toys, keeping beds made, and washing up done, will create a feeling of order, comfort and space, and draw the potential buyer to your home’s assets and not distract during that critical first viewing. Small things like keeping an entrance hall free from piles of trainers/shoes or large amounts of coats hanging up can all enhance that first impression as a potential buyer enters the property.
The old days of baking bread and making fresh coffee are somewhat behind us but there is no doubt that a bunch of fresh flowers, classy diffusers or any welcoming touches all help.
But remember we are selling homes and lifestyles, not show houses, so consider the above, and present the house as best as is practical for you, and if you need any further guidance on this, our sales team would be happy to advise.
