With all this time spent at home it goes without saying that we have cleaned, polished and scrubbed every inch of the house. We’ve put together some handy tips to make sure your home is looking tip top for expectant viewings as soon as we are out of lockdown. Follow these 7 golden rules and you could be in your new Nicholas King Home sooner than you think! Good Luck and Happy Cleaning!
1. Declutter
The first and hardest step in the entire process. If you don’t like a decoration or if you have an outfit that you haven’t worn since 2010, just throw them away or donate them. Don’t just focus on one room – ensure you search every part of your house, especially in rooms like the kitchen and bedrooms where clutter can quickly get out of hand.
2. The First Impression
The first impression isn’t when potential buyers walk through the door, but the photos that are seen online, so make sure that before the photographs are taken you do a thorough clean, declutter any unnecessary foods off the kitchen counters – no one needs to see what cereal you have for breakfast! Pick up the children’s toys and make the bed.
3. Outside
As the saying goes, ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ but unfortunately people do – so make sure the outside of your house is looking as good as the inside, weed, freshly cut the grass and perhaps even plant some pots with in-season flowers to make your house ooze ‘kerb appeal’.
