When you sell your home…   

• It is certainly a great opportunity for a spring clean

• Some minor maintenance may be needed

• Check areas around that may require attention, particularly painting and cleaning. Also, check for and repair any cracked windows, loose or missing door knobs, sticking doors and any fixture that maybe loose, faulty or does not function correctly. Tiled areas of bathrooms, laundry, etc. are particularly important

• Maintain the garden and lawns, cut back tress or shrubs, particularly if they restrict sunlight into any rooms

• Keep swimming pools clean and filter system operating if you have one

• Too much furniture in a room could give the appearance of the room being small. Remove or relocate where necessary

• Tidy up your garage, out buildings and storage areas

• Cars, caravans, boats, trailers, etc. sometimes crowd driveways and restrict access. Relocate if necessary. If cars are to be moved, please park them down the street during an inspection
