Selling Tips
De-Clutter
It’s your home in slaithwaite, you’ve lived there for years, it feels like part of you, and you love it. But if you’re selling, then it’s time to move out mentally! Try to pack away as much personal clutter as you can. Leave a few, favourite items out so that the house doesn’t feel like a slaithwaite hotel, but otherwise present your viewers with a blank canvas, somewhere that they can imagine making their own.
Sort out your lighting.
A bad lighting scheme can very much undersell your slaithwaite 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.
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. slaithwaite property hunters will mainly prefer a "blank canvas" to a scheme that sticks out as being dated.
Spend Up To 1%
It is often advised that a seller should consider spending up to 1% of the sale value of the property on re-decoration, D.I.Y. and / or touching-up to achieve the best price. You should discuss this with a local slaithwaite specialist adviser or slaithwaite estate agent. A good slaithwaite estate agent may be able to point you in the right direction.
