Selling A House: Top Tips To Boost Interest In The Property

When you decide to sell your home, you enter a very competitive market. If you’d like to sell your home sooner rather than later, then you need to make sure that you make potential buyers interested in seeing the property. Once you hook them in, they might become more interested and perhaps even make you an offer. So, before you welcome the buyers into your home, make sure that it’s clean and that everything is in good condition. Stage the home to make it look more inviting and show them what living in the property could look like. Here are more tips to boost interest in the property when selling a house.

Obtain An EICR Certification

These days, houses that are ready to move in and don’t require much work to be done are becoming increasingly popular. So, it might be a good idea to make sure that all the installations in the building are in good condition. One of the things you should check is the fixed electrical installation. Hexo Electrical Testing’s website can tell you everything you need to know about the inspection and EICR certificate cost. Once you receive the certificate, potential buyers will be able to see that they will not need to spend too much money on repairs and that the building is safe to move in straight away.

Clean And Fix The Home

Before you start advertising the building for sale, you need to ensure that the house is clean and everything is in good condition. If you notice any loose handles, chipping paint or any damage to the property, you should ensure that everything gets fixed. When people start coming to see if the property is right for their needs, they’ll be looking even for the smallest things that might need their attention. But if everything is in order, they will see that the house is cared for and well-maintained. It’s the details that can make or break the sale. So, look through the property thoroughly and see what might require some work.

Stage The Property For Viewings

Whether you still live in the property or have already moved out, you should stage the property to make it look more inviting. Decorate the sofa and bed with pillows, and you can even add a soft blanket to make it look more homely. If you have a bookshelf, you can decorate it with photos and souvenirs from your travels. When the home is staged, potential buyers will have an easier time imagining what it could be like for their family to live in the property. It might even inspire them to consider a different layout of furniture.

Pay Attention To The Smell Of The Interior

When you open the door to people who come over for viewing, the smell of the property will be the first thing they notice. Therefore, you should make sure that the house smells nice. Clean the drain and take out the bin. Light up your favourite scented candles and let the lovely scent fill the property. You might also want to consider decorating the interior with some fresh flowers. They might be able to give your home a gentle natural scent that will enchant potential buyers.
