Moving homes is an exciting time filled with thoughts of your new dream house. Our job is to help you present your old house in the best possible light to maximise your property’s potential. That’s why we’re here to provide you with invaluable tips and tricks to help you prepare beforehand.

Our expertise and commitment to showcasing your property’s true potential will ensure a smooth and rewarding selling experience. So, let’s dive in and make sure your old house shines, capturing the attention of eager buyers.

Freshen Up Your Home for a Stellar Impression

At Fisher & Partners, we know that a clean home leaves a lasting impact on potential buyers. Take the extra time to deep clean every nook and cranny, from the tops of cabinets to hidden corners. If you’re still living in the property, consider hiring professional cleaners to ensure a sparkling presentation.

Create an Inviting Atmosphere with a Pleasant Scent

First impressions matter, including how your home smells. Avoid overpowering scents and opt for a subtle, well-maintained fragrance. One clever tip is to add a touch of polish to your radiators, giving your home a welcoming and cared-for aroma. A few strategically placed scented candles can also enhance the ambiance without overwhelming the senses.

Showcase Your Space by Decluttering

Maximise the potential of your property by decluttering and showcasing its true beauty. Box up unnecessary items and temporarily store them elsewhere, allowing your home to feel more spacious and inviting. This clean and open environment will capture buyers’ attention and help them envision their own possibilities within the space.

Create a Blank Canvas with Neutral Decor

To appeal to a wide range of tastes, consider neutralising your decor. While your personal style may be unique, neutralising the space allows buyers to envision their own preferences and possibilities. A fresh coat of paint and subtle decor adjustments can create a blank canvas that speaks to their imagination.

Embrace Natural Light and Outdoor Vibes

Open up your home to natural light by drawing back curtains and letting sunshine flood in. This brightens the space and creates an inviting atmosphere. Add a touch of nature with potted plants or fresh flowers to enhance the freshness and vitality of your property.

Highlight Storage Spaces for Added Value

Organise your storage spaces to maximise their potential. Potential buyers appreciate ample storage, so ensure closets are well-organised, clothes are neatly hung, and oversized furniture is removed. Presenting everything in its rightful place showcases the functionality and value of your property’s storage options.

Transform Your Bathroom into a Tranquil Retreat

Create a spa-like experience in your bathroom by stacking coordinated towels, adding scented candles, and incorporating small plant pots for a touch of nature. Coordinated bath mats and towels create a cohesive and harmonious look, while the simple act of closing the toilet seat can make a significant difference in overall appeal.

Fisher & Partners understands the power of these home staging techniques. By following these tips, you can make a remarkable difference in how potential buyers perceive your property. If you need help with getting your home show-ready, our property concierge service can connect you to professional organisers and home stagers to assist.
