Are you thinking of selling your home in Nottinghamshire? There are so many buyers in the market for a home they can call their own, so how can you make your property stand out to prospective buyers? Let’s jump in.

Concentrate on Kerb Appeal

The first thing a buyer will see when they arrive to view your property is the outside so you need to create the perfect first impression. Begin by simply cleaning and tidying the outside of your property, removing the bins or any weeds and overgrowth. If you have the time and the funds after cleaning you could add some potted flowers or repaint the doors and woodwork to make the property more attractive and appealing to visitors.

Invest on the Inside

What your potential buyers see when they walk through the door of your property can make or break the sale of your home in record time. At the very least it should be clean, tidy and have minimal clutter. Take a look around your home with fresh eyes and try to look at it through the viewpoint of a buyer to assess what you need to do next. It could be a fresh lick of paint, new flooring in the bathroom or removing the huge unit that takes up all of the space in the kitchen. Whatever it is, keep in mind that you want to appeal to as many buyers as possible, so keeping it neutral is key.

Think Energy Efficient

From a buyer perspective, an energy efficient home is a great investment. In fact, a survey by *Dataloft showed that “Buyers are increasingly looking for more energy-efficient homes”. With this is mind it’s worth assessing how energy efficient your property is and taking the necessary steps to ensure it has an excellent energy rating before you put it on the market. This will maximise overall value and interest in your property.

Take Centre Stage

Staging your home to sell it is a clever way to appeal to potential buyers and can be done even if you need to continue to live in the property until it’s sold. If a potential buyer is looking for a home they can live in rather than an investment opportunity, the first thing they will do is imagine themselves living there. After the house has been thoroughly cleaned and any repairs, renovation or decoration has been carried out, try to make the property look as inviting, but as impersonal as you can. Remove any personal belongings that you won’t need until you move such as photographs, ornaments or excessive toys, rearrange furniture to make rooms look larger and open the windows to keep it smelling fresh.
