Once you have made the huge decision to sell your property it is important to start to view your home as a potential buyer would, and try to become less emotionally attached to it.

It is often presentation that makes the greatest difference! A well presented property not only looks more attractive to your target purchaser, but also suggests that you have cared for it as your home.
Cross & Prior offer you some handy tips in making your home a good first impression on potential buyers, which could well add thousands to your final sale price.

Complete Little Jobs Dress Your Home Scrutinize Your Road

Whether it is a loose handle in the
kitchen, or the sealant around the
bath has gone mouldy, we are all
guilty of putting off the little jobs,
or neglecting them as part of our
daily routine.

It is essential to get these jobs
done once you have decided to
  sell as such small changes could
be the difference to your buyer
and the offer they might make.

It is necessary to dress your home
appropriately, in order to ensure it
is presented in the best possible
way. You should avoid cluttering
rooms and try to highlight the
features of your property.

An incorrectly dressed room can
easily result in potential buyers
thinking your property doesn't have
enough space for them or has an
inadequate layout.

You may well be the proud owner
of the best house in your street, but
the smallest thing can put a buyer
off from some fly tipping at the end
of the road to an old sofa in the
neighbour’s front garden.

Often a simple call to the council or
a friendly chat with the neighbour
can resolve these niggling issues
of your surroundings, and ultimately
help sell your home.

Enhance the Positives Organise the Rooms Resolve Potential Pitfalls

You may have a wonderful south
facing garden, or fantastic feature
skylight. But if the garden is over
grown and looks unused, or if the
skylight is dirty - buyers will not
appreciate them.

It is important to remember the
features that first attracted you to
the property, so make sure to
apply the same effort and ensure
they are doing your home justice.


If people are paying for a three
bedroom property they don’t expect
to see two bedrooms and a study
or storage room! It is fundamental
to make each room appear to be
used as intended.

You home will be more appealing
if rooms have a specific purpose
and this makes it easier for potential
buyers to visualise and see the full
potential of the property.


You may have overlooked some
points that were highlighted in the
survey, when bought your home.
Now is a good time to dust of the
old report and address any issues
will undoubtedly be raised again.

You should also explore any other
concerns you might have as a well
  organised planning at an early
stage will give you the upper hand
and help you move more swiftly.
