It’s quite obvious that how your property looks is important when you are trying to sell your house fast - but the number of people who neglect to make it look attractive to potential buyers is surprising.
If you have a garden or outside space of any kind then you need to think about making it look like an attractive place that people would want to spend time. Many people view a garden or balcony as an extra room or extension of the house - so could be a deal-breaker for them.
Kerb appeal can be everything. People have often made a decision about whether or not they are interested in buying a property just from how it looks on the outside before they step over the threshold. This means it’s important that you get the property looking its best on the outside - not just on the inside.
Staging a property - much like property developers do when they are trying to sell a new home - can be a good way of getting someone to fall in love with it.
How the property is decorated - the colour of the walls and furniture, the condition of carpets, peeling wallpaper - can cause a potential buyer to either love or hate it instantly.
If you are willing to spend a bit of money then there are some home improvements you can do to sell your property fast as well as adding value. The two main rooms that people focus on when viewing a property are the kitchen and bathroom:
A property’s kitchen is one of its biggest sellers. If your kitchen is outdated or shabby (but not chic) then you may want to think about fitting a new kitchen. But, if you don’t want to spend this kind of money then there are some smaller (less costly) things you can do to improve how it looks without breaking the bank.
Not many buyers can see past an avocado or pink suite to see the potential of a bathroom. People can also be put off by a bathroom that only has a shower and no bath (and vise versa).
A few other improvements you can make around the property outside of the kitchen and bathroom include:
You could have an incredible property in a desirable location - but if it’s not being marketed well then you will never sell it.
Sometimes buyers just need a little extra push to take the plunge and put in an offer on your property. Why not offer some incentives to make your property stand out from the others they may be considering?
