Selling a home can be one of the most stressful periods in any person’s life. It can cause a lot of disruption in the home and can take a lot of time to achieve.
The best way to reduce the stress and upheaval that comes with putting your property on the market is to reduce the amount of time your home will spend there and make a quick sale. Here we have put together three simple, cheap, and effective things that anyone can do themselves to help sell their property quickly and make their move with as little stress as possible.
Freshen Up the Exterior of Your Property
Be ruthless, clear away any clutter, and throw away or sell anything that you don’t need or that is taking up space. This helps the prospective buyers to see the potential your living spaces have and consider where their furniture will fit in rooms. Also, consider repainting or recovering walls in light and neutral colors that will help maximize the amount of natural light that fills your spaces. This will make rooms look bigger and more comfortable, and help buyers see the space as a blank canvas that they can decorate themselves to their own tastes.
Repair and Deep Clean Your Windows
Your windows are an important part of your home. Many people will have replaced older single-pane sash windows with more modern and energy-efficient uPVC windows. These are fantastic for saving energy and are much more robust than glass windows, but they do have their drawbacks.
The plastic surrounds of the windows can become dirty or stained easily, giving your home a poor presentation, so make sure they are thoroughly cleaned and refreshed before you put your home up for sale. Window damage is also a concern, and any broken window panes or frames should be repaired before you take any photographs or put your property on the market.
