As the seller, you want your property to give off the very best impression and ultimately find someone who thinks it feels like home to them. The process can be long and stressful, so these 5 tips might just help you along the way to preparing for, and hosting the perfect viewing.<\/p>\n
First impressions really do count!<\/strong><\/p>\n Viewings are always arrange for a mutually appropriate time, so if you then are unable to make it at the last minute or are browsing the aisles of your local supermarket whilst someone waits on your doorstep, you might as well rule that viewing out. Make sure you\u2019ve spent some time cleaning and making a fresh and welcoming environment, whilst you want the property to be respectable, remember it isn\u2019t a show home and showing it\u2019s lived in can help to make people a little more comfortable. Some bright seasonal flowers and lots of nice natural light always make a property seem more welcoming.<\/p>\n Kerb Appeal Make it feel like home<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s your home and the prospective buyers will be quite aware of this \u2013 you know it best so showing off the best features of the property and even telling little quirky anecdotes of the time your kids turned the under-stairs cupboard into their den will help them to picture their family calling it home.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be pushy<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re not there to push someone in to buying your home, you\u2019re there to show them around the property and learn how fantastic it is. Sometimes it takes a buyer a little bit of time to decide if a property is right for them, making good impressions and answering any questions that they may have will always help them to make a decision of their own.<\/p>\n Keep the best for last<\/strong><\/p>\n Make like a magician and have something up your sleeve that the buyers aren\u2019t expecting. Whilst you should start with a nice feature like your fantastic new kitchen, when you\u2019re coming to the end of the viewing slip in another feature that will really impress, show off your mature, landscaped garden or the stunning views from your loft-room \u2013 adding these in last will make your home stick in their mind and will add a talking point when they begin to shortlist further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Viewings are one of the most important parts of the buying process, it allows a prospective buyer to find out more about the property and the area and ultimately it will help them decide if it\u2019s really the place for them to call home.

\nWhilst, it\u2019s important to have the inside of the property looking spot on, how does your property look from the road? If you\u2019ve got an overgrown front garden trim it back and make it presentable so that when the potential buyers pull up outside, they can see a nice clear view of the property. If it looks like it\u2019s poorly maintained, you could get off on the wrong foot and they may enter the property with a negative impression.<\/p>\n
