Get ready for the photographs

Professional photography plays a huge part in how your home is presented online.  Before our photographer arrives, it is worth giving each room a quick reset. 

Try to:

• Clear kitchen and bathroom surfaces
• Remove unnecessary clutter
• Make beds and straighten cushions
• Let in as much natural light as possible
• Put away personal items where they dominate a room
• Move excess furniture if a room feels crowded

The aim is not to make your home feel empty.  It is about helping buyers see the space and imagine themselves living there.

Deal with the little jobs

Small maintenance issues can easily catch a buyer’s eye.  A dripping tap, cracked plaster, damaged seal or tired paintwork may seem minor, but buyers can sometimes see them as signs that more work may be needed.  Sorting these jobs before viewings begin can help buyers concentrate on everything your home has to offer.

Get your paperwork together

Being organised early can also help once a buyer is found.  If you have paperwork relating to extensions, alterations, guarantees, boiler servicing or building regulations, it is worth gathering everything together before the sale progresses.  It could help avoid delays later.

Make the most of those first few weeks

The first few weeks of marketing are important.  That is when your home is fresh to the market, appears as a new listing online and reaches buyers already registered with our offices.  At Richard Kendall, we want your property looking its best from day one.  Our team can advise you on presentation, photography, marketing and the small changes that may help your home stand out.
