Make sure your home has plenty of air and is not feeling stuffy when being viewed.

Space sells. Clutter doesn’t. Move as much unnecessary stuff out of your house, or put it into storage because one major selling point will be space. Rather have empty space in which the buyer can imagine how they will utilise it than having your own clutter filling it up.

5. Renew Flooring Finishes

A fresh layer of paint is a very easy and affordable way to make the house radiate newness. Cover any cracked, faded or stained paint on the walls and also use the opportunity to cover up any poor colour choices that may have been made in the past! Neutral colours are the best as they are not style or time specific. Bathrooms can be completely revamped with a fresh coat and a deep clean.

7. Improve ‘Curb Appeal’
