31 Mar How to stage your property for a spring sale

A new season is upon us and it’s one of the best times to sell your property. Wondering why? Longer days, brighter gardens and higher temperatures not only make our homes look better, but they give us an energetic boost in our searches. However, if you want to attract the right buyers, quickly, it’s important to stage your property in a certain way. Keep reading to find out more… 

Boost your home’s kerb appeal

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – first impressions matter. So, spend some time tidying up the garden, mowing the lawn, trimming hedges and adding seasonal flowers for a cheerful welcome. Be sure to clean pathways too and if needed you could also repaint the front door. 

Declutter and clean

A fresh smelling home is always going to be more inviting. So, remove unnecessary items, clean windows, dust surfaces and check that every room is spotless. You might want to invest in a professional clean for carpets and furniture, and be sure to open windows to let fresh air in. Subtle scents like lavender can also do wonders for buyers entering your home. And baked bread is popular too – it creates the perfect homely ambience! 

Remember, buyers want to be able to imagine themselves in your home so remove personal items as well as bold artwork and decor. A neutral palette can make a space seem much more adaptable.  

Make the most of light

You want your home to appear bright and airy, and to maximise any space you do have. Letting natural light in is essential for this so open windows and add mirrors to reflect the light around your room. If you’re still struggling with dimness, warm lighting can create a welcoming atmosphere. 

Add seasonal touches

A bunch of spring flowers, lighter fabrics and soft pastel accessories. Small touches like this can all add to the seasonal charm and make a potential buyer feel happier and more comfortable in your home. Don’t forget to turn your attention to the outside. Gardens and balconies are a major selling point at this time of year so arrange outdoor furniture, add plants and check that fences and patios are in good condition.
