Selling Tips
Bully Your Estate Agent
Dont rely on your estate agent in the area of fife, to put the required effort into drawing up the sales particulars and populating the Window Card details. Always scrutinise what they have prepared and don't be scared to request that they make changes to these items if you feel that they haven't put the required effort into this work.
Clean your windows
If your windows or mirrors are looking grubby, consider mixing some white spirit vinegar with a little water and washing up liquid, popping the mixture in a spray-bottle and giving your windows and mirrors a clean. (use this cleaning tip at your own peril!). The washing liquid will act as a de-greaser and the vinegar will act as an anti-foamer / streaker. Grubby windows or mirrors will create a bad impression on fife property buyers.
Rent Some Storage
If your house is very cluttered, then you may want to consider renting a storage unit in fife. Removing large, unnecessary articles of furniture and other clutter will give the appearance of bigger rooms. Viewers like to see a reasonably blank canvas, that they can really imagine making their own. The disadvantages are the weekly costs of storage, and the double-handling of the furniture, that you will now have to move twice.
Get Painting
Consider some fresh paint. There’s a good reason why new builds in fife are normally presented in magnolia and white. The light colours make rooms look bigger and cleaner. White paint, in particular, makes kitchens and bathrooms look spick and span. Remember, that dark purple that you painted your bedroom in, that you absolutely love, may not be to fife buyer’s liking!
