How to rent or sell your property faster?

Little bit about the real estate now... Renting or selling, it applies for both. All based on many years of property management experience and it definitely works and speeds up the process, so worth every penny and time.

FROM THIS                                          TO THIS

  • Entrance: An inviting entrance creates an important first impression!
  • Check that things such as roofing, guttering, paint, woodwork and paving are all in good condition. Spending money to fix these things can potentially earn you a better price and faster sales/rent.
  • Clean windows or any glass balustrades you may have. Also consider having your house professionally cleaned, this way is an inexpensive way to instantly lift its appearance.
  • Mow the lawn regularly, particularly before an open for inspection, trim hedges, rake up the leaves, if you have a pool make it sparkle and hide away any pool equipment.
  • If you are selling a tenanted property, consider offering the tenant a cleaner to come before the inspection. It is money worth spending and a good way to keep your tenant on side.
  • Bathrooms and kitchens are the most scrutinised by buyers, ensure they are pristine. Soap scum, mould, old shower curtains and dirty bathroom mirrors should be cleaned, removed or replaced!
  • Make all the beds, fluff the cushions, vacuum floors, dust shelves and remove cobwebs that may be lurking inside and out.
  • Ensure your home maximises light no matter what time of the day it is. Open the curtains and check all light bulbs are working. If you’re holding an evening inspection, light up cozy lights inside the house and switch on the garden/pool lights.
  • Selling your home is a great time for a spring clean, less clutter creates an impression of space so remove anything you don’t want to take to your new home. Most local councils will come and collect your rubbish free of charge or for a small fee. Another option is to consider giving your unnecessary household items to a charity.
  • Pets: sometimes it can be a big turn off for buyers so ensure there is no trace of your pet during inspections. This may mean steam cleaning carpet, hiding away their food and water bowl, toys and bedding. There are many people that are simply allergic to pets.....
GOOD LUCK! and remember if you need any assistance, please contact me:
