When you are gearing up to move, your attention is likely on your new home, not the one you are leaving behind.
But at Mundys, we know that making your current property look its best can make all the difference in securing a smooth, successful sale. Here are our top tips to help your home stand out from the crowd.
1. Deep Clean Everything
The most effective (and often most overlooked) step is a thorough clean. We are talking about the tops of cupboards, behind the sofa, and every surface in between. If you are still living in the property, consider investing in a professional cleaner. It is a small cost that can pay off in a big way.
2. Pay Attention to Smell
Scent leaves a lasting impression. Avoid overpowering aromas like fried foods or overly floral air fresheners. A subtle polish on the radiators or a lightly scented candle can help create a warm, cared-for atmosphere -just don’t overdo it.
3. Declutter and Simplify
Buyers want to see space, not stuff. Start boxing up non-essentials and move them into storage or to a friend’s home. The more open and airier your property feels, the better.
4. Neutralise the Décor
While your bold wallpaper or colourful art may reflect your personality, it can be distracting to buyers. Stick to neutral tones that let viewers imagine their own style in the space.
5. Light and Life
Natural light is your best friend. Pull back the curtains, clean the windows, and consider adding a few fresh flowers or potted plants to brighten up the rooms. It adds freshness and a welcoming touch.
6. Tidy Your Storage Spaces
At Mundys, we know storage sells. Organised wardrobes and tidy cupboards make your home feel more spacious and well-maintained. Keep everything folded neatly, hang clothes properly, and remove oversized furniture that crowds the space.
7. Create a Spa-Like Bathroom
Turn your bathroom into a retreat. Coordinated towels, a few candles, a matching bath mat, and a small plant can transform a functional room into a tranquil escape. And yes—always put the toilet seat down!
