Tips for selling your home in the winter
People often think that selling their property in the winter
is difficult, however it’s a great time to play on your homes’ cosy, friendly
charm. The things that lead people to buy a new home, like a new job, growing
family, up- or downsizing -- happen all year round, and there are still plenty
of buyers out there.
There are some simple checks to help sell your home in the
winter.
·
Exterior
- kerb appeal is key, so keep your gardens, guttering and drains clear of
leaves and debris, and prune back any foliage, also cover your garden furniture
·
Interior
- Check all your heating and lighting is in good working order and de-clutter
your home
·
Atmosphere
- Scented candles, flowers, baking smells etc. all help towards making people
feel cosy and if you have a fire then light it
As Simon Gerrard, president of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA)
points out "Quite often, it is the smallest changes to a property that can
make it stand out over others. A warm, inviting atmosphere in the dreary winter
months is key,"
"Simple things
such as making sure a home is warm and well lit can improve saleability during
the darker months and additions such as welcoming garden lights to enhance the
entrance to your home can appeal to buyers’ imaginations," he adds.
