Online House Hunter: Preparing for a sale | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs

Online House Hunter: Preparing for a sale | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs

IF you missed it, take a look at the article, How To Give A Home Real Kerb Appeal, that appeared in The Independent on April 1. It contained some terrific advice on selling your home.

I was particularly struck by designer Abigail Hall’s tip on dressing your home for the buyer rather than yourself. She said: “Even if you don’t have children but your property is near a good school, that is your target market. I have bought boxes of crayons and toys and left them in the corner of a flat to show that there was room for a play space.”

My partner and I don’t have children but when we last sold our house we didn’t think to consider that we lived in a property suitable for a young family and near to a school becoming increasingly popular. Why not check out the local schools in advance (see links below) and leave print-outs in a pack for potential buyers?
