Redecoration?: If any part of your house needs decoration badly, redecorate if possible. We will advise you on the extent of the work required.

Tidy wardrobes and cupboards: look larger and give a good impression. If cupboards and fitted wardrobes look overcrowded a buyer may feel they would be too small for their requirements.

See to those odd jobs: fix squeaky doors, dripping taps etc.

Clear stairways are essential: objects on any stairs are dangerous and present a crowded appearance.

Neat bedrooms help sales: make sure the beds are well made and that dress and tabletops are neatly arranged.

Sparkling bathrooms: are essential.

Put your home on display: prepare your home as if you are expecting guests - fresh flowers and plants can make all the difference.

Light is important: bright rooms are cheerful rooms to a prospective buyer. If a room is dark, try to keep it as light as possible by drawing curtains back and using carefully positioned lamps.
