Here are some ideas on how to make your property appeal to prospective buyers.
• First impressions are very important. Make sure the front of your property is attractive and presentable. Tidy up the driveway and front garden and put some potted plants out to add a splash of color. Make it inviting so people who have a look from the outside first are tempted to view the inside as well. Also, make sure viewers have somewhere to park when they arrive.
• Inside your house, tidiness and cleanliness are very important especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Do the washing up, remove clutter from work surfaces, clean the bath and shower. Ensure all beds are made and make sure the curtains/shutters are open to ensure maximum light and of course to show off any views. Lighting is also very important especially in dull corners and dark rooms. Have lights already turned on before the viewers arrive. Fresh flowers make all the difference.
• Make sure all windows, floors and tiles are sparkling.
• If you have pets, it is best to keep them out of the way, as not everybody likes cats and dogs. A quick spray of air freshener will hide any pet, tobacco or household smells.
• Outside, the garden is very important especially as North Cyprus is hot for most of the year. Are the lawn and shrubs well maintained? Are the gutters, chimney and walls in good condition? Do the window frames, shutters or doors need painting?
• When people start looking round be friendly, but not over keen. Give them space and offer to let them look round for a second time on their own.
• Imagine the people who are viewing are going to be the ones who will buy your house. Be friendly and try to create a good rapport because if they do buy you will no doubt be speaking to them again on several occasions.
• Give sensible answers if asked why you are moving/selling, do not admit that the neighbours are noisy or the house is too small. Give confident but tactful answers.
• Remember all you need to achieve a sale is a house that someone wants to buy, at the right price and to use Cyprus Island Homes as your Estate Agent.
Here are some of the factors to consider when pricing your home.
• Your location
• Economic conditions
• Supply and demand in the local housing market
• Seasonal influences
• Average house prices in the neighbourhood
• Your home's extra features, for example swimming pool, fireplace, central heating, air conditioning etc.
• What is included in the sale price, curtains, carpets, light fittings, appliances, etc?
