Top Tips for Selling Your Home

Your agent should know the local market, communicate well, and offer a clear, fair fee structure. The right partnership can make all the difference.

Declutter, clean thoroughly, and depersonalise where possible — let buyers see the space, not your stuff.

First impressions count. Tidy the front garden, clean windows and doors, and make the entrance feel inviting.

Repaint tired walls, especially in neutral tones. Focus on high-traffic areas like the kitchen, bathroom, and hallway.

Open curtains, clean windows, and replace dull bulbs. Bright rooms feel bigger, more welcoming, and more valuable.

Avoid strong smells from pets, food, or smoking. Use subtle scents like fresh flowers or diffusers instead.

Loose handles, dripping taps, or cracked tiles can give buyers the impression your home isn’t well-maintained. A few small fixes go a long way.

Whether it’s original flooring, a fireplace, or a great garden, make sure standout features are clean, visible, and well-presented.

Most buyers find homes online — high-quality images will help yours stand out and attract more viewings.

Accommodating evening and weekend viewings can help you reach more serious buyers, especially those working full time.

Overpricing can put buyers off. Trust your agent’s valuation and consider recent sales in your area to remain competitive.

Keep paperwork like your EPC, warranties, and title deeds handy. Being prepared can help speed up the sale once an offer is accepted.
