4 Ways to Use Your Summer Break to Prepare Your Home for Sale
For those of you fortunate enough to get some time off over the summer, it can be the ideal time to do some much-needed work on your home to prepare it for sale. Any improvements you do, whether aesthetically or structurally will add value to the final sale price and potentially make it that much more appealing to buyers who are spending their summer house hunting. Here’s 4 ways you can use your time wisely to work on your home improvements: Gardening – with the sun out and the days much longer than the winter months it is the perfect time to get out your gardening gloves, pruning shears or shovel. Filling your garden with easy-to-maintain plant varieties and clearing spaces that have been overgrown will add massive appeal. Be sure to work on the front of the property first and then venture out into the back yard. Choose water tolerant plants and grasses and be sure to make access to water outlets easy and obvious. Painting – while the family are all about and out of routine, it might be a great time to move a few people out of their rooms and give the walls a freshen up with a lick of paint. Choose neutral colours that allow potential buyers the space to imagine their own tastes and furniture in the space. Any colour that is too dominating can be a put off for viewers. Clear out the shed – Sheds can often be the space you just don’t get to when you are preparing your home for sale. Sheds are always high on the priority list of most house hunters and a well-presented shed can showcase the space, condition and functionality effectively. Photographs – not seen as a home improvement directly but getting a professional photographer in to take photos to show off the very best assets your home has to offer goes a long way in preparing for a sale. Professional photographs always attract more interest than amateur images. A professional photographer will also help you to arrange the rooms in. your home in the best way to capture the perfect shots for those looking to buy. This could mean decluttering spaces or hiring furniture. A great idea to do when you have a little more time and flexibility with the weather. Once you have these jobs ticked off your list, you will feel much more relaxed when you decide to head to the beach. Happy New Year everyone!
