Looking to market your property in the Autumn?
If you are considering marketing your property in the Autumn, when is the best time to have photos taken?
If you are looking to move house later in the year, either in Autumn or in the winter months, it may be to your advantage to have the mareketing details all prepared and ready to go! As we move into the summer months, gardens are rich and full of colour, the grass is green, there are leaves on the trees, the days are light and skies are blue, so in a nutshell the photos taken in the summer, especially of the externals, will show your property in the best light possible and therefore help to generate more interest in your home.
The photos and virtual tour will take approximately two hours out of your day and then leave the rest to us! There is no need for us to organise home reports at this stage, that can be organised a few days prior to your home going on the market.
here are some tips below;
Your lawn and garden should be in tip-top shape all year round. Apart from giving your home a neat appearance, it will send a positive message to your visitors and prospective buyers that the home is well cared for. Set aside time to mow your lawn and reseed the grass if needed.
An edger can help you achieve a professional look. Supply the bed with enough mulch to stunt weed growth, then trim the trees and branches.
Reduce the clutter in your front garden by keeping things like BBQs, bikes, toys, gardening equipment, etc. in your shed or in the garage. You can also dispose of things you no longer need completely.
Replace hardware
Many homeowners tend to hold on to decorative elements due to sentimental reasons. If your house number and letterbox look outdated, then it’s time to replace them with distinctive ones.
Another task you could tackle is to paint your front door with a fresh coat of paint, ensuring the colour fits with the rest of the exterior. Placing versatile plant pots on your front door or steps can give your home an irresistible effect.
Change light fixtures
This is another cost-effective way to beautify your exteriors. Buyers may come view your property in the evening when the light starts to dim, so it’s best to create a nice impression. Up-lights running down your pathway, or a nice couple of golden glowing lights near the door can create a sense of warmth and highlight how great your exterior looks.
