No one is impressed by a dirty house, so don’t try to sell them one! Cleaning your house is possibly the most tedious factor you’ll have to face when selling and many sellers do it half-heartedly, which means you could have an advantage over the competition and be the first to sell. Clean the entire house particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, from floor to ceiling, including the windows and keep it clean and tidy until sold. The clean home will be appealing to potential purchasers and allow them to visualise living there.

  • Purchasers are repelled by dirty bathrooms and it may give them the negative impression that the house is not cared for and there may be other areas in a poor condition. Hang up fresh towels and add items such as candles, hand wash and cream for that touch of elegance
  • Wash the dishes, clean the sink, fridge and stove, clear the counters, get rid of lime scale and ensure the kitchen is tidy
  • Ensure all items are in their place or packed away and all surfaces are dust free.
  • Clean and repair tile grout and wax wooden floors
  • Make sure carpets as well as curtains are clean and not stained. Call a professional to take care of this if necessary
  • Clean all windows
  • Clean and tidy entrance
  • Clean stairs and halls
