5 Top Tips for Impressing Buyers During Property Viewings

Boost your home’s kerb appeal

Put time and effort into boosting your home’s kerb appeal before it hits the market. This means making sure the exterior of the property is visually appealing and inviting. Mow the lawn, trim hedges, plant flowers and repaint the front door, if necessary. These small steps can significantly enhance the overall attractiveness of your home, helping to entice buyers and make them want to see more.

Create a clean and clutter-free space

When it comes to the inside of your home, we recommend making the space clean and clutter-free. This not only creates a more visually appealing and inviting atmosphere for potential buyers but also allows them to imagine themselves living in the space more easily. Declutter worktops, shelves and closets to make rooms feel more spacious, making sure you remove any personal items such as family photos or artwork in order to depersonalise the space and make it more neutral.

Maximise natural light

Maximising natural light in your home can create a welcoming atmosphere during property viewings, making the space feel brighter, more spacious and more inviting. To increase the amount of light, consider removing heavy curtains that block sunlight and replacing them with blinds that allow more light to filter through. You should also clean windows to ensure they sparkle and remove any obstructions that may block light. Adding mirrors can also help to reflect light and make rooms appear larger and brighter.

Showcase your home’s key features

During property viewings, it's essential to showcase your home's key features to impress potential buyers. Highlight unique selling points such as distinctive architecture, renovated rooms, or updated appliances, ensuring that they’re clean and well-maintained. For example, if your home has a beautiful fireplace, make it a focal point, drawing attention to it with strategically placed furniture and tasteful decor.

Arm yourself with information

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to selling your home. Before showing potential buyers around, ensure you have all the necessary information about the property. This can include details such as its age, previous renovations or upgrades, and any relevant warranties or guarantees. Gathering information about the area, such as nearby schools, parks, shopping centres and public transport options can also be useful. Being able to answer any questions about the property can help buyers feel more confident and informed about their potential investment.
