Home improvements to sell your home.

We have all seen Ann Maurice redecorate a person's home in order for them to recieve the full asking price.- but have you applied these techniques to your home?

Once you've decided on selling your property you must OPEN your eyes.
Look at the house as though you are going to buy it.- what would put you off?

For many people they make a decision within the first 10 seconds, so make those 10 seconds count! Clean up the front garden/driveway. Have some plants in flower (either in beds or in plant pots).-remove ALL dead plants!
Does your house need a link of paint?

Sometimes for buyer's it's the work that needs doing to a property. You may like your avocado green bathroom but it's a no no for many buyers.- who see replacing a bathroom as too much work. Think about investing in a white bathroom suit, or if your budget doesn't stretch to that invest in some neutral towels (white/beige) to off set the colour. Some fresh flowers in the bathroom and a lit candle can make even the worst bathroom seem more inviting.- after all this is where we like to relax!

A kitchen is often classed as the hub of a household. Is yours user friendly? Make sure all cupboards have handles (you'll be surprised!) and are hanging correctly, clean the tiles, try not to fry anything smelly the day before or on the day of a viewing ("yes that gastly fish smell was last nights dinner" does not always gain brownie points!). Freshly brewed coffee, bread and cinnamon tend are all thumbs up!

In Spain many villas have pools. Make sure that the terraces are clean, the pool is clean and not green (uncover the pool if you have a pool cover) and put the pumps on. Sun loungers with some clean cushions show the space on the terracing, whilst a wooden table outside demonstartes an possible dining area!

If your house has been on the market for a while then ask your estate agent why. Ask if there are any home improvements that you could do that may help sell your house? Loo at the agents photos and the property description.- could these be improved?
