Selling Tips
Rent Some Storage
If your house is very cluttered, then you may want to consider renting a storage unit in littleover. Removing large, unnecessary articles of furniture and other clutter will give the appearance of larger 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.
Clean Out The Loft
Some buyers will ask to look in your loft. If it it is full of junk that looks like it may be left there then this can be off-putting. Also, a nice empty loft will look like it may have conversion potential.
Pet Problems
If you own pets, then consider re-housing them while your try to sell your home. At the very least, keep them out of sight during viewings, and make sure that you have removed as much trace of them as possible. Cat litter trays, bowls of pet food, pet hairs, stains on carpets and scratched up walls or furniture can be off-putting. There is also the issue of allergies to consider. Many people are allergic to pet hairs and dust. A home that sets off a reaction may put off otherwise keen littleover viewers. Consider calling in a local littleover cleaning specialist to revive carpets.
Repair / Paint Fences
If you're putting your littleover property on the market, then you may want to consider getting your garden fences painted / repaired.
Privacy is an important issue for many house buyers, and a tidy, secure, well-maintained boundary with neighbouring properties will be a big plus, rather than "another job that will need doing".
In the same manner, ensure that hedges and trees are trimmed and tidy.
