Hi Neighbours!

We hope you are keeping warm and dry in this cold and wet weather.
To warm you up a little we are going to share our "Seven Top Tips To Get A Property Ready For Sale". We will share a new tip every couple of days. Enjoy tip number 1!


Planning to sell a property? Follow these seven simple tips to ensure your property will provide you with the best possible return on the time and money invested.

Having made the decision to sell a property, an investor should be aiming to maximise their returns.
To this end, they need to make sure their property presents as well as possible to potential buyers. But that does not have to mean spending vast amounts of time and money.

There are some straightforward, cost-effective ways to go about doing this. Here is our first tip for getting a property sale ready:

1. First impressions matter

First impressions count for a lot with potential buyers and those impressions are formed quickly. Therefore, vendors need to make sure the exterior of their property presents well.

Lawns should be mowed, hedges should be trimmed, paving or concrete should be cleaned, fences should be well-maintained and paintwork should be clean and fresh. The property needs to be spick and span and any renovations must be complete. This includes minor repairs as well as major ones.
