Five tips to sell your house quickly, for the best price

Andrew Lodge suggests five ways to improve your chances of a quick house sale.

The secret of selling your home quickly and for the best price is knowing how to make it attractive to others. First impressions count.  Most buyers make the decision to purchase within the first few minutes of viewing.

Here are our top five tips:

  • Fix those cracks
    leaky taps, squeaky doors, rotting fences, etc.  Even freshen up some rooms by repainting in neutral colours.  A small investment here gives big returns.
  • De-personalise your property.
    Buyers are more attracted if they can imagine living there.  So keep bathrooms bare and remove items like family photos.
  • De-clutter and deep clean.
    It works wonders and displays the house in stellar condition.
  • Tidy cupboards.
    Buyers love to snoop.  Think of the message you send if items fall out!
  • Inform your agent
    About the fittings that aren’t included.  A misunderstanding with a buyer may become a deal breaker.

But you’ll still need a good estate agency to generate interest and at Andrew Lodge we believe our independent status, proactive and highly motivated sales team combined with the local and national exposure we provide, will ensure you have the best chance possible of achieving an optimum price.
