3 Ways To Create A More Sellable Home

If your home has been left languishing on the seller’s market, it won’t be the only one, as in September, the number of houses sold in the UK fell by nearly 40%. Nationwide have also recently come out and said that they expect house prices to drop by around 8-10% in 2023.

It’s a gloomy outlook, yes, but you can get that house sale over the line, even in these most difficult of circumstances. Just take steps to enhance its buyer appeal and you could be on the move in no time.

Begin by organising paperwork

Anyone who has a house sale fall through will tell you how painful it is. Some house sales collapse because a seller doesn’t have the necessary paperwork to provide to a buyer.

We urge you to check that you have all the paperwork that you’re likely to need so that there are no hitches or hiccups.

Required documents will include land registry information and the property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). For a recent window installation, you should have a FENSA or CERTASS certificate, and if you’ve extended, you should also have planning permission and / or building regulations certificates.

Entice more light indoors

Rooms that are nice and light feel spacious and there are many things you can do to encourage natural light to travel into your interior.

Cleaning your windows for a start and then installing mirrors close to them so that any light produced by the sun is effectively reflected.

It will also help if you lighten your colour schemes, repair any lights that are broken, ensure no obstructions are in your windows, find a furniture arrangement that creates more floor space and get a skylight or bi-folding door installed in a main area.

Win hearts with your windows

It’s interesting to note that 71% of people surveyed by the HomeOwners Alliance said that they felt “Windows in good condition (no signs of rot or flaking paint) are the most important kerb appeal feature.
