Brush Up Your Bedrooms

You might notice, when you see photos of new build homes, or recently redecorated homes that the light airy feel makes them look bigger, and this is no bad thing. House buyers scrolling Right Move make a decision based on appearances, within seconds, so the window to sell your home is limited.

Buy a tin of Dulux Trade Matt Vinyl paint, preferably this 7.5 litre tub to guarantee it lasting, and spruce up every ceiling in your home using this brilliant white product. This might sound like a job that will take a lot of effort for not much reward, but if you get hold of a couple of cotton dust sheets to cover everything in each room, it’s easily doable in a couple of weekends, better still rope in some family and friends to help!

Don’t Forget Your Fixtures

Don’t get sucked into wasting money on huge fix up jobs, believe it or not, buyers will be looking at the smaller details. A great example of this is to look around the house and see whether highly used items such as door locks, handles, plugs and light switches need replacing. A new set of these can really update a room and are something else the buyer knows they don’t have to spend on.

Tackle High Traffic Areas

If you have limited time and money to make a change concentrate on these places. We’d suggest taking things back to basics and using a neutral white paint, but invest in something that is wipeable and tough, like Dulux Trade Diamond Matt, so that it doesn’t look in need of a lick of paint by the time your buyers come to move in.
