How can you maximise...

Kerb appeal is the term used to describe the attractiveness of your house from the road, the place where buyers make their first impression!

 

Here are a few tips you can do to maximise your kerb appeal!

 

1. Pay special attention to you front door.
Give wood doors a fresh new coat of paint in a classic front door colour such as black, navy, red or green! Restore the whiteness on plastic or composite doors & polish up letter boxes and numbers!

 

2. Give driveways and patios a new lease of life.
Get the pressure washer out and give your driveway a quick clean.

 

3. Spruce up your boundaries.
Where your property starts and ends is a key questions in a buyers mind so make it obvious and attractive! Give fences and gates a coat of paint and make sure any gates function properly. Trim hedges neatly and prune any planting next to doors and pathways.

 

4. Always have something green.
Make sure grass is mown regularly, No to weeds and shrubs are neat and tidy. During autumn months sweep dead leaves away whenever they start to gather. If you don’t have a garden to the front add some colourful flower pots or hanging baskets.

 

5. Don’t forget what’s just outside your property.
The road and pavement outside may technically be the Council’s responsibility, but when you’re selling it makes sense to pick litter and sweep leaves yourself to make sure you’re creating the best first impression of the area!
