REDDITIt can be a stressful time moving house, but if you make sure you’ve crossed your Ts and dotted your Is, you shouldn’t have to wait for an extortionate period. If your property’s been on the market longer than you’re happy with, you do have options. Here are a number of helpful actions to take to maximise the ‘sellability’ of your home.
Minimise Your Possessions for Viewings
More than likely, if you’re looking to sell quickly, the property will have already removed or minimised your personal possessions. If you have not already, it makes a great impression if potential buyers can have more chance to really imagine making themselves at home. Moreover, keeping your more personal possessions away from the eyes of the buyer helps them not be put off a style or taste which does not match their own – you can never be sure someone else will love what you do. The key: keep it neutral, clean and clutter free. For a quick fix – look into using a storage facility.
Cosmetic Touches Make a Difference
- Houseplants – Garden centres provide them cheaply and have a great variety of low maintenance or even artificial plants that can really brighten up your space
- Lots of white – white is a blank canvas and keeps busy design features, like bold wallpaper, away from discouraging buyers. It makes a huge difference to how we perceive the size of a space, whilst making it appear brighter.
- Lighting – keep it bright, warm and cheerful; no one wants to buy a dark and dingy home. Uplighters and floor lamps are great for creating the illusion of more space.

Practical Considerations
It’s worth asking experts for advice before selling – this looks good to buyers as they have all the information laid out for them, plain, simple, and transparent. Building surveyors advice on urgent improvements that will hinder a sale can save you time and increase a buyer’s trust in you – you’ll more likely seal the deal. Similarly, if you investigate Planning Permission information before selling this can really encourage interest in your property. Readily volunteer this information as it offers an edge on other property options on the market. Follow this advice and your sale will be much swifter.
