The Role of Kerb Appeal - A Guide to Selling Your Home in Winter - part 3
If you’re thinking of selling in winter, first impressions still matter, perhaps even more so.
Most people looking at your home for the first time will do it online through photos and videos.
Here’s how you can ensure they’ll like what they see and consider an in-person viewing.
Winter garden maintenance
Trim back any overgrown bushes, remove dead leaves and consider adding some winter plants for a pop of colour. Pansies and evergreens love the cold and can brighten up any garden.
Outdoor lighting
In winter, good lighting is essential. Path lights or even some tasteful fairy lights can guide visitors to your front door and add a touch of magic to your property.
Door appeal
A fresh coat of paint on the front door can add instant appeal. But at the very minimum, remember to clean your door before viewings.
Quick tips
Windows
Clean windows make a world of difference. They not only look good but also allow more natural light into the home.
Bins
If your rubbish bins are visible from the road, consider moving them to a less conspicuous location for viewings.
Phone a friend
A great way to get an honest opinion on the first impression your home gives is to ask a trusted friend for their opinion. You could also ask an experienced estate agent for their view.
We’re always on hand to give you open and honest advice to see if selling now is your best move.
