First impressions matter. A well-prepared home photographs better, shows better and usually attracts stronger interest from the first weekend of the campaign.

Declutter and clean

Clear surfaces, tidy cupboards and fresh air do more than any single renovation. Buyers want to picture their own belongings in the space, so give them room to do it.

  • Remove personal items and excess furniture
  • Deep clean windows, floors and bathrooms
  • Touch up worn paint and repair small faults

Present the outside

The street view is the first thing buyers see online and in person. Tidy the garden, wash the entry and make sure the front door looks cared for.

The best preparation is the kind buyers never notice.

Talk to your agent early

A good agent will tell you which jobs are worth doing and which are not, and can suggest a timeline that suits your plans.
