Tips for homeowners selling in spring

For many, spring is considered the best time to sell a property. The weather is warmer, the days are longer, and the market becomes more active. However, with increased competition, it's essential to have a plan to make your property stand out from the crowd. Here are some of our top tips for selling your property in spring.

Enhance kerb appeal

First impressions matter, and this doesn’t just mean the inside of your home. Sprucing up your home's exterior will make it more appealing to potential buyers. You could trim overgrown shrubs, mow the lawn, and plant fresh flowers. A freshly painted front door and a clean porch will also go a long way in improving your home's kerb appeal, as it will be the first thing that your potential buyers will see!

Spring cleaning

Spring is the perfect time to declutter, organise and clean your home. Clean windows, walls, and floors to make your home look fresh and new. Consider packing away any unnecessary items and furniture to create a sense of space. A tidy and clean home will appeal to buyers and make it much easier to imagine themselves living there!

Light up your home

Spring brings more natural light into homes, but it's essential that your home is well-lit. You could add lamps and accent lighting to brighten up dim areas of the house. You could also update light fixtures to create a modern and inviting atmosphere. Consider hanging mirrors to increase the amount of natural light in the room.

Price your property competitively

Overpricing can lead to fewer showings and a longer time on the market, so make sure to work with your estate agent to determine the right price for your home.

Use social media

You can use social platforms as a marketing tool to advertise your home in the best light possible. Post videos and photos of your home, as well as details of your neighbourhood and local amenities. This could lead to more viewings and potential buyers.
