for sale sign london

Along with divorce, moving to a new house is allegedly one of the most stressful events in life.

But it’s even worse when you can’t sell your current property in order to move to your dream home – that creeping feeling of limbo causes stress and disharmony to spread among every member of your family.

However, there are some reasonably simple tips which accentuate the positive features of your home, eliminate the weak spots, and convince potential buyers to sign on the dotted line.

With that in mind, here are five stress-free ways to sell your home.

  1. Repaint your front door

First impressions last when you’re looking at a house, so if your front door looks as dull as dishwater, you’re setting a sad scene from the start.

So take a look at these House Beautiful door colour ideas, choose one that blends with the rest of your external décor and get busy with a paintbrush promptly!

  1. Tidy up like a pro

By simply clearing up clutter in your hallway, ensuring books are stacked neatly on shelves, drawers are shut tight and all dust is removed, you can create a pristine and persuasive environment for potential buyers.

If you need some inspirational tips, take a look at Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix and you’ll rediscover the transformative power of keeping everything ship-shape.

  1. Use seductive scents

Smell is perhaps the most subtly evocative scent – for instance, a mere whiff of a favourite food can instantly transport us back to a specific moment in childhood.

And attractive odours could seal the deal on your home sale – this Ideal Home house smell guide has the lowdown on everything from freshly baked bread to coffee and clean laundry.

  1. Choose the right time to sell

Traditionally, some times of year are more conducive to house selling than others, so seasonal forces can affect how fast you shift your abode.

Spring is usually a good time to sell as there are lots of potential buyers in the market and better weather makes your home look at it’s most attractive. Or alternatively, autumn can also be awesome as the weather is still reasonable and buyers want to get deals done and dusted before Christmas.

  1. Use an online agent

Nowadays you can use an online estate agent to take the sting out of selling your home and make the whole experience hassle-free.

For instance, experts at Property Buying Team have streamlined their home sale process to three easy steps – fill in your details online, agree a price after agents visit your property, and complete the sale so that the cash is in your hands immediately.

If your house selling endeavours have left you feeling a little frazzled, these five stress-free ways to help sell your home should ensure it’s smooth sailing from now on!
