There is no denying that spring is traditionally the busiest time of the year on the property market. Even though the market is now busy all year round, with online property portals driving the industry, this is still a time when many people traditionally engage the market. Of course, spring is also the time of year when many people decide to clean their home thoroughly.

If you want to sell your home this year, spring could be a hugely influential time. This is because carrying out an extensive spring clean will help you present your home in the most effective and appropriate manner.

Get help presenting your property

At Innovate, we are pleased to say we have helped many homeowners sell their home and the importance of a clean and decluttered property cannot be overstated. There are many keys reasons why you should choose to clean and declutter your home before placing it onto the market, not least the fact that a spacious property is hugely appealing to property buyers.

There is also the fact that a clean home is likely to attract buyers, or at least help you avoid the situation where an unclean house repels buyers. There is also another reason why decluttering your home makes sense and this is because it will help the buyer to feel at home in your property.

If there are a lot of images of yourself and your loved ones around the home, this can prevent a prospective buyer from imagining themselves in your home. Therefore, presenting a clean and decluttered home will increase the likelihood of making a positive impression on prospective buyers.

Focus on your kitchen and bathroom

While it is vital that you clean every room of your house, you should pay particular attention to the kitchen and bathroom. These are rooms where hygiene is hugely important and if they are unclean or messy, buyers are going to be put off your home very quickly.

There was a spell in the market when homeowners were carrying out home improvements in order to woo buyers, but this is no longer the case. It is best to leave major renovation work for the buyers, giving them the freedom to make their own choices as to what bathroom or kitchen they like.

While you shouldn’t focus on major renovation work in your kitchen or bathroom before selling your home, you should ensure that there is a fresh and contemporary feel to these rooms. Adding a modern gadget or device could improve the impression these rooms make.

If you are looking to freshen up your home this spring, don’t forget that your tastes may not correlate with likely buyers. It is better for you to freshen up your property in a style that appeals to buyers as opposed to your own tastes. After all, if you want to sell your home this year, it is the opinion of the buyer that matters, not your own, so make this your focus when carrying out redecorating work this spring.

Anyone looking to sell their home this spring will find that Innovate is on hand to help and provide assistance. Contact us and sell your home effectively this year.
