How to Prepare Your Home for Viewings in the Warmer Months

Want to outshine the competition in the property market? Follow these simple steps to ensure you get your pre-viewing preparations just right.

How to Prepare Your Home for Viewings in the Warmer Months
If you plan to sell your home in the next few months, you’re making a smart move.
 
The longer, brighter days mean buyers will see your property bathed in glorious natural light, which is far more flattering than the artificial kind.
 
And if you have a garden, the trees will be green and the flowers in bloom.
 
But don’t rest on your laurels just because of these natural advantages. To secure the best price, go the extra mile by following these tips.
 
Get the basics right
There are a few golden rules that apply year-round in the property world, and they are: declutter, clean and carry out minor repairs. Doing these three things can add thousands to the price you achieve, so what are you waiting for?
 
Garden maintenance
Plants can quickly dry out and turn brown if you get a run of hot days, so water regularly to keep your garden looking green and lush.
 
Keep your home cool
If it’s forecast to be hot on the day of a viewing, keep the curtains and windows closed until shortly before the buyer arrives. Then open both to let the light and air in.
 
Dress your garden
Arrange garden furniture so buyers can imagine themselves hosting a get-together on a warm day (you may even opt to set the table). And if there’s space, set up a bench in a quiet corner.
 
Take the bins out
Unpleasant odours can send buyers packing, so empty the bins to avoid them turning smelly in hot temperatures.

Meet Abigail

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
