1. Boost Your Curb Appeal First impressions count. A freshly mowed lawn, trimmed hedges, and some colourful plants by the entryway can instantly lift your home’s street presence. Consider painting the front door, cleaning gutters, and replacing old house numbers or lighting.

Quick Win: Pressure-clean your driveway and footpath — it makes everything look fresher.

2. Declutter and Depersonalise Buyers need to picture themselves living in your space. Pack away personal photos, excessive furniture, and unnecessary clutter. Open spaces feel bigger, calmer, and more appealing. Think minimalist, not empty.

Tip: Use neutral throws, cushions, or artwork to style your rooms without overdoing it.

3. Refresh with Paint A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to modernise your home. Stick with light, neutral tones — they help reflect light, make rooms feel larger, and appeal to more buyers.

Don’t forget touch-ups: scuffed skirting boards and patchy corners can subtly hurt your property’s perceived value.

4. Focus on the Kitchen and Bathroom You don’t need a full remodel — small updates make a big difference. Replace tired tapware, update cabinet handles, or re-grout tiles. Clean, fresh, and functional is what buyers want.

Bonus: Replace old light fixtures with something simple and modern.

5. Light it Right Good lighting enhances space and mood. Open all blinds and curtains before inspections, replace blown bulbs, and add lamps in darker corners. Warm-toned bulbs help create a welcoming feel.

Natural light sells — clean your windows inside and out before your first open home.
