It has come to that time of year when many of us are thinking of putting our houses on the market. Kiki Everard from The Jordan House Styling Company is an expert in property presentation and helps sellers redefi ne the space in a property to ensure it looks and feels good to the largest number of potential buyers in the market.

If you decide to put your house up for sale it is essential that you make that great fi rst impression, whether it is with wonderfully enticing web photos or stunning kerb appeal. Did you know that when a buyer is looking on sites like RightMove they will only give a property three seconds of their time before moving on to the next if the fi rst one doesn’t entice. Three seconds! So, how do you achieve that winning look?

The fact of the matter is the way we live in our homes is totally different to the way we need to prepare them for sale. You would never sell a car without cleaning it, polishing it, sorting out any problems so that the buyer has little to negotiate off the asking price. The same principles need to be applied to selling your house.

Buying a house is an expensive but usually an emotional purchase - the house has to ‘feel right’ but don’t assume that because you love your home the way it is, everyone else will. You need to make it appealing to as many people as possible by maximising the feel of
space and light. By packing away your photos and personal items you allow the buyer visualise themselves living in the house, they can’t if they are distracted by your bits and pieces or unfi nished DIY projects.

So here are a few essential hints and tips to help you create that great fi rst impression to help you on your way to a successful sale:

1. Make sure your house looks wonderful from the outside, tidy the garden
2. De-clutter, pack away collections and all overtly personal pieces - you are not selling your things, you are selling the space
3. Thoroughly clean
4. Re-fresh paintwork in a neutral colour - making the house appealing to those with varied tastes
5. De-emphasise fl aws by being clever with furniture placement
6. Update or modernise the kitchen and bathrooms - these rooms can make or break a sale
7. Create a warm, inviting haven where everyone would like to live
8. Add fresh fl owers and introduce light coloured textures to refl ect the approach of summer and happy times ahead in your home

But not everybody can do this objectively - especially with their own property! So, if you would like help with any or all of the above, please give Kiki a call to have a (free!) chat about how she can help you achieve a quick sale for the best possible price.
