If there's a problem, don't worry... there are plenty of products on the market to remove nasty smells, rather than cover them up.

Be Realistic About The Market
Like the rest of the UK, the property market in mansfield is on its knees. You need to be realistic about the value of your mansfield property if you want a quick sale. This may be difficult, especially if you stretched yourself on your mortgage when your purchased.

Repair / Paint Fences
If you're putting your mansfield property on the market, then you may want to consider getting your garden fences painted / repaired.

In the same manner, ensure that hedges and trees are trimmed and tidy.

Be Energy Efficient
If you're selling your home then mansfield buyers will be looking for energy efficient properties, as these will be cheaper to run, and easier to sell.

A good mansfield estate agent will be able to advise you and point you in the right direction for making your home more energy efficient.

An energy assessor will come and assess your property for a current and potential Energy Efficiency Rating and a current and potential Environmental (CO2) Impact Rating. This will be included in your HIP pack, which must be completed before you market your property.
