Tidy your home, move some of the clutter away and always keep your home looking ‘show-room-ready’ on the off chance that someone will turn up for a last-minute viewing. These are very common tips you’re told from the very start when you first decide to pack up and sell your home. But what about the tricks you don’t get to hear about so much? We’ve uncovered some lesser-known, yet invaluable house selling tips you may not have come across before.

Learn Which Rooms Sell

What’s the most important and saleable room in the house? That’s right, it’s your kitchen! A remodel of your kitchen will work wonders on your selling potential and it doesn’t have to cost you the earth. Look into updating the cabinet doors, or freshen up the room with a lick of paint. Think about how you can make it look more spacious. Buyers know themselves how expensive a kitchen can be to re-decorate, so if they see yours and hate it; it could knock thousands off their offer.

Build up some interest

Imagine that you’ve seen a rail of beautiful coats in a sale, but no one else seems interested – would you buy one? Maybe.  But you can’t say it wouldn’t cross your mind as to why no one else is taking an interest. Buying a house is much the same thing, except on a much bigger scale. With houses, buyers are all vying for the same types of property, but only one person can get each house. Competition is fierce, so you need to make sure your house is the main contender. Consider asking your friend to pop over while you have another visitor round, to pretend they’re interested in buying it. Build up a ‘buzz’ around your house, and don’t forget about marketing it yourself online.

Lighting

Lighting is far too often overlooked when it should be one of the most important house-selling considerations. How a buyer sees your home in that one quick nip around, is how they will envisage their lives in the property every day. No one wants to walk into a dingy house – no matter how tidy it is! Let as much sunshine in as you can. Keep the blinds up, turn the light around to put its focus in the center of the room, or even change some light bulbs to increase the wattage. These are some quick fixes you can take into account, but if you want to make a real difference – consider investing in some stylish lighting options. It doesn’t cost much and will be well worth the investment in the long run!
It’s the little things that count so try to think outside the box. Don’t just look at furnishings and the general look of the house either, check-in the nooks and crannies to see if you can spot anything that a potential buyer might not like – because this is what they’ll be doing too!
