Selling Tips
Sort out your lighting.
A bad lighting scheme can very much undersell your bletchingley property. Consider sorting your lighting out. Consult a specialist if you need to. Dark rooms can look small and poky. Rooms that are too bright can look harsh and unwelcoming. Very bright light will show up all marks, dirt, stains and dust.
Renew Scruffy Flooring
Linoleum flooring in bathrooms and kitchens can often look very unkempt after years of use. It is inexpensive to replace. Consider renewing it if it looks worse for wear.
Modernise dated fittings.
It's arguable that some folk love "dated". The majority don't. If your house is looking more 80s than "now" you may want to consider zapping the worst offenders. Nasty wallpaper can be covered with a lick of paint, cupboard doors and tiles can also be painted over, and door handles are easily replaced. bletchingley property hunters will mainly prefer a "blank canvas" to a scheme that sticks out as being dated.
