Setting Your Home Up To Sell |
Why Is It So Important?
First impressions really count — Poor photographs, cluttered rooms, bold colour choices, they will all work against you and the price you achieve.
There Are Only 2 Types Of Buyer Out There.
- Premium Buyers - They do not want to do any work and are prepared to pay top money for the right property.
- DIY / Speculative Buyers - They are happy to do work but want the biggest house for the cheapest price.
As a seller you need to choose which buyer you want to attract.
Do Not Under Estimate The Power Of Presentation
It can literally add or subtract up to 30% of the value of your home. Which for a £450,000 house is a £150,000.
Simple Changes Can Have Dramatic Affects
Below we have used AI to show how making some changes can add substantial value to your property as well as increase its chances of selling.
The Outside.
When a buyer sees your property for the first time online it's all about the photos, if they are poorly taken or do not look inviting they will move on to the next listing. When a buyer pulls up outside the front of your house it will all be about the kerb appeal, suffice to say, that initial impression will dictate the mood for the rest of the viewing.
