Now there’s a big difference between getting a feel of a place and having
to feel our way around. Which is why lighting in a room is important. In
summer, natural light can liven a place up and give a feeling of freshness
and cleanliness. So draw back those curtains - and open those windows.
If you don’t have curtains and it’s still dark, check your windows. They
may need urgent cleaning. There’s always a first time.

A freshly painted front door and a tidy path and front garden is a good
place to start. You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
In winter, have lights on during the day time. They can add enchantment,
or disenchantment, if light bulbs are missing!

Everyone knows the old trick, brew up a pot of real coffee just before
that door bell rings - and make sure the aroma of freshly ground coffee
beans wafts through the hall and smacks likely buyers in the face - just
as they walk through the door. That’s one. But probably not the best one,
consider these:
A confident buyer sweeps into a room. An unconvinced buyer has had to
sweep through litter, pizza menus, junk mail and last year’s autumn leaves
in the hall just to get in. Keep things tidy.

preparing your property for sale
In vacant properties, always leave some furniture behind to give the place
a lived in feeling.

They say that if a buyer sits down in a property, they’re at ease with the
place - and is possibly thinking of putting in an offer. For this reason, make
sure there’s space round sofas and armchairs so viewers don’t have to
step over coffee tables and magazines to get to them.
Peeling paint on a window - or a garden gate hanging off its hinges suggests that work needs to be done on the property. This could be used
to re-negotiate the price.
If you have a back garden, check outside the house is as neat and tidy
as the inside.
In winter, if you have a fireplace, have a fire blazing. Hearths can
move hearts.
To a nervous first-time buyer, a damp stain caused by a minor past leakage
suggests an impending flood.
