FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Home presentation is extremely important as first impressions will be formed very quickly by prospective purchasers.
One of the first things we do here at Jordans, at our initial inspection is to make any recommendations to a seller which we feel would be beneficial in the presentation of the property for sale. This could include tidying the gardens, painting some rooms, getting carpets cleaned, decluttering. These moves can benefit a successful sale and potentially enhance the sale price too.
KERB APPEAL
As indicated first impressions are paramount and kerb appeal is important as many prospective purchasers might drive by the property before arranging an inspection. So to this end it would be beneficial to make sure that the exterior of the house is presented correctly. Whether it is painting the front gates, cutting the grass, trimming the hedges, weeding the flowerbeds, powerhosing the driveway, painting the side gates, washing the windows and gutters, painting the façade are all jobs that can increase the attractiveness of the property. Adding colour through hanging baskets or flowering plants (weather permitting) always helps.
Removing any toys, bicycles, refuse bins and garden clutter will give a sense of space and create the impression potential buyers are looking to find.
DE-CLUTTER
On entering the house it is important that potential buyers get a nice bright fresh feel for the property. It may be beneficial to paint some rooms a light bright neutral colour to enhance the light. If any of the carpets need cleaning or wooden floors sanding this would also be helpful. We also suggest to try and de-clutter as much as possible, obviously families need to continue to live but any toys or clutter if they could be packed into wardrobes or under beds and if you have a floored attic space perhaps you could utilise this in the short term when viewings are taking place.
You want to try and give the impression of light bright airy space without clutter and the recommendations that we make would be low cost high return and generally we feel that spending some limited funds to enhance your home would increase the sale price by more than the cost of doing the works but also make the house far more appealing to prospective buyers.
TOUCH UPS
Painting is such a quicky and easy way to spruce up a house, it has got so much dimensions than people give it credit for.
Neutral Colours - People underestimate white but it can create a nice fresh backdrop to a room while creating a bigger brighter space, Using white or neutral paint in a room creates a bright, fresh and timeless atmosphere. These shades help reflect natural light, making spaces feel larger, more open and airy. Neutral tones also provide a versatile backdrop that complements a wide range of furniture, textures and décor styles, allowing for easy updates without the need to repaint. Their calming and understated appearance creates a sense of balance and tranquillity, making the room feel welcoming, elegant and effortlessly stylish.
Colour Drenching is an interior design technique where a single paint color, or closely related tonal variations is applied across every surface in a room, including walls, ceilings, skirting boards, doors, window trim, and even radiators or built-in furniture.
How It Works & Effects:
Eliminates harsh lines by removing traditional white ceilings and contrasting baseboards, the eye moves smoothly without visual interruptions.
Alters room perception by blurring the edges of the room to make small or awkward spaces feel bigger, taller and airier.
Hides flaws awkward angles, sloped attic ceilings, pipes, and radiators blend into the background instead of standing out.
Time Saving eliminates time and precision as no ‘cutting-in’ required.
