Selling tips from Laing + Simmons
To get your property prepared for a sale, prune all trees or shrubs close to the property for better natural light. Get rid of all rubbish, as this can leave a bad impression and make it hard for potential buyers to see their own idea of a €home' within your one. Fix and patch up and paint where it needs it. Bad representation again leads to less potential buyers.
Ensure that gates and fences are in good order and clean all the walls floors and windows. Also, clean and dust away cobwebs from the interiors and exterior of your home. Fix items such as taps which are leaky, sticking doors and drawers. If you have a lot of furniture, put it in storage to make sure that the rooms look as spacious as can be. In terms of your garden, make sure it is maintained so it looks more inviting. As well as this, you can add seasonal flowers and add a bit of fragrance and colour to your home. As well as this, steam your carpets if it needs it. This will give your home a more inviting feel.
Add to the atmosphere during inspections by following some of these simple and inexpensive ideas:
€ Vases of fresh flowers
€ Classical background music
€ In Winter, add a cosy open fire
€ Do not have pets around during inspections
€ Open all curtains and blinds
€ Turn on lights in dark rooms or passage ways
€ The aroma of coffee brewing an oil burner or a freshly baked cake
Many people thinking of selling their property look into the possibility of major renovations and whether or not they are necessary before placing their property on the market.
Major improvements and spending large amounts on property renovations are not always necessary. There is a danger of over-capitalising on the refurbishment and therefore not receiving a solid return on that outlay.
If you have any questions, discuss with your Laing + Simmons property specialist, as we're always happy to offer advice.
For auction day, there are a number of things you can do in the lead up to auction day to give yourself the highest chance of achieving the highest possible price. First thing to do, place mats at all external doors so dirt is not brought from outside and into the house. Remove any weeds or trash from the gardens, paths and the street. Mow the lawns a couple of days before auction day rather than at the last minute.
Offer to mow your neighbour's lawn as well, if it's untidy. Organise for a friend to take your pets on the day of auction. Make sure you park your cars in front of the property the evening prior to auction day and relocate them just prior to the auction. If selling in Winter, a warm and cosy home is a lot more inviting, so take advantage of your heating and, if you have an open fireplace, light the fire for extra warmth and atmosphere. On the other hand, if you are selling in summer or hot weather, switch your air conditioning on or open doors and windows for airflow. Hide your valuables safely away from view.
