When buyers walk into a property, they make a judgement within seconds. Sellers often overlook small details that can make a big difference.

---

1. Smell

Fresh and clean beats overpowering air fresheners.

2. Lighting

Open blinds and switch on lights — dark rooms feel smaller.

3. Storage Space

Buyers open cupboards! Keep them tidy and organised.

4. Noise Levels

Soft background music is fine — loud TVs are not.

5. Temperature

A warm house in winter and a cool house in summer shows your heating works well.

6. Kerb Appeal

Bins, weeds and clutter outside create the wrong first impression.

7. Pets

Remove litter trays, pet beds and food bowls if possible.

8. Bathroom Presentation

Clean grout, fresh towels, shiny taps.

9. The Garden

Buyers want outdoor spaces that look easy to maintain.

10. General Maintenance

Loose handles, peeling paint and squeaky doors suggest neglect.
