FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Look at the outside of your home to make sure the first message you give to potential buyers is that of a well maintained, cared for property. Sweep the pathways, trim the hedges, mow the lawn. Invite people in through a well presented, paint-chip free door.

TIDYING UP
Create the feeling of space by clearing away, boxing up, throwing out. After all, you'll have to do that when you move house anyway.

RIGHT TEMPERATURE!
During the summer open the windows and let in the fresh air. In the winter keep the temperature warm and cosy.

SMELL SWEET
Tempt the senses with discreet aromas. Influence perception by adding delicate fragrances in each area. Clean and vibrant for the bathroom, using air fresheners. Warm and homely for the kitchen using fresh coffee or fresh baking. Subtle and light for the bedroom using pot pourri.

SOUND GOOD
Music has been successfully used in many selling environments so consider playing soft music. Turn the television off or, at least, down.

REPAIR
Check the doorbell and exterior light work to welcome your visitors. Look out for chipped paint and dripping taps. Secure any loose doormats or carpets. Attend to those little repairs that you always intended to finish
