So you are thinking of selling up and want to maximise the value on your home when it goes to market.  I have put together a quick look at 10 things you should look to do to ensure you get the best deal when selling.

1. Tidy up the garden – I am not talking about spending thousands, but a quick prune and present the garden in the best possible way will help viewers to see the benefits it has to offer.

2. All rooms decorated – make sure that any unfinished DIY jobs are either complete or are in a position where it won’t be obvious that work is ongoing.  This may mean you slap a quick coat of paint on walls that have been bare for months, due to you being focused on moving.

3. Get rid of clutter – similar to the garden, the last thing you want is to have all your possessions strewn all over the room.  Maximise the space, to allow the viewer to see the rooms in their full glory.  Remember they will be trying to picture it with their own belongings, so the more space, the better.
