Selling Tips
Repair / Paint Fences
If you're putting your mells 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.
Be Energy Efficient
If you're selling your home then mells buyers will be looking for energy efficient properties, as these will be cheaper to run, and easier to sell.
A good mells 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.
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 mells viewers. Consider calling in a local mells cleaning specialist to revive carpets.
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 mells property buyers.
