A Guide to Selling your Home in Winter

It’s that time of year where people are planning new adventures and making new plans and for many, the most significant plan for the year ahead will be selling their existing property and finding a new home. Here are our Top Tips for selling your home this winter:

Turn up the Heat

Make sure your house is warm. Visitors may be put off by a cold home and might want to leave sooner than you want. It is hard to imagine living somewhere when you are too busy freezing your feet off!

Clean the Garden

A lot of people neglect their garden during the Winter months. Just remember that the garden is the first thing visitors see when viewing your property and is just as important in summer as it is in Winter – first impressions matter.

Candles

Don’t be scared to bring out the candles. Candles are great for setting the mood and creating a warm feel about the house.

Fire!

If you have a fire, light it! People are fascinated by fires and will appreciate the heat. Same idea as candles, but more impressive – a fire is a great way to create a warm and vibrant feeling around your house.

Flexible Viewing Times

Consider whether it would be an advantage to be more flexible on viewing times than you may be at other times of the year; do you feel your home can be shown to it’s best advantage during daylight hours? If so, why not suggest viewings during the day not just in the evenings.

Light Up the Room

It’s dark outside. What better way to welcome visitors into your home than by creating a bright, warm atmosphere. Consider garden lighting to go for that extra WOW! fSactor. If you don’t want to go quite so far, ensure that lights are switched on throughout your home for the duration of viewings.
