5 Top Tips for Improving Your Home for Selling

July 20, 2025

Selling your home can be a lengthy process, often with a long wait for potential buyers to view and make an offer on your property.

However, there are ways you can speed up the process and make your home appealing to the masses for a quick sale.

If you’re hoping to create the vision of a dream home to sell, here are five top tips for improving your home for selling.

  1. Design a New Kitchen

A new kitchen can help to bring some life back into your home, and is a great way to add value to the asking price of your home.

Whether you completely redesign your kitchen, or add extras to it such as an island, new cupboards or a cooker, you can add aesthetic charm effortlessly to your home.

If you’re looking for high quality kitchen worktops, companies like Love Stone specialise in bespoke natural stone surfaces for high-end properties.

  1. Landscape Your Garden

Your garden is a major selling point for your home, and is fantastic for young families. One way to garner interest from potential buyers is to landscape your garden, keep the grass manicured and plant some flowers.

If you’re in need of plants or flowers for your garden, you can visit Dobbies Garden Centres for a wide variety of different species of plant to enhance your garden.

  1. A Fresh Coat of Paint

Refreshing the indoor decor is just as important as the outdoor aesthetics of your home. Whether you choose to update your paintwork in bolder colours, or opt for less bright colours in pastel or muted tones, it’s important to pick a colour that truly reflects the character of your home effectively.

To do this, you can pick up tester pots from most DIY stores that will allow you to choose your colours effectively. You can also mix and match colours, or opt for a feature wallpapered wall with complementary colours – the choice is yours!

  1. Share Your Home Listing on Social Media

Once your home is listed with the estate agents, you can share the listing on your social media pages. An eye-catching home is more likely to receive passive attention from buyers on social media than a standard listing on a real estate website.

You could also take a video tour of your home and post it on TikTok for a chance to go viral and receive masses of attention from keen homeowners looking to relocate.

  1. Improve Your Kerbside Appeal

Your home’s kerbside appeal can be massively influential for encouraging buyers to pay you a visit.

Whether you want to render the outside of your home, replace your doors and windows, or simply introduce some hanging baskets, flowerbeds or shutters for your windows, each tweak takes you one step closer to achieving an aesthetic dream for your home.

Many families strive to be able to picture their children growing up in a home, and building a life there, so investing in these small tweaks to improve kerbside appeal will garner greater interest in the long term.
