If you’re serious about selling your house or flat in Chiswick, a good de-cluttering is a cost-effective way to give your home the edge over other properties for sale in W4.
The real crux of your Spring clean is to help you achieve the best possible selling price. The idea is to create a welcoming environment, to maximise your natural light, and to give the illusion of more space.
Kerb appeal
Check and repair any garden gates or fences, paint window frames and clean window panes, clear paths of weeds and make the entrance to your home inviting with some freshly planted pot plants. Giving your home kerb appeal is the first step to engaging with a buyer.
Interiors
Less is more and it needn’t cost a fortune. A few strategically placed throws and rugs will tone down patterned sofas or carpets will bring older interiors up to date. Consider a neutral look for your interior with an all-over lick of magnolia or something similar.
Create the illusion of space by removing everything except your key pieces. Only keep what you really need and put the rest into storage or recycle to local charity shops. Spring-cleaning nirvana will help you on your way to your next property.
Maximise your kitchen
Every inch of space counts in your kitchen. We probably all have more gadgets than we need or use, so put them away out of sight and leave worktops clutter-free. Making the most of drawer or cupboard space, and installing space saving ideas like tilt-out bins are a great move.
Bathrooms
It goes without saying that everything should be spotlessly clean and sparkling. Ensure any drying laundry is hidden from view
Bedrooms etc
Spring-cleaning and de-cluttering your bedroom will give your potential buyers the impression of a peaceful night's rest. If you use part of your home as an office, clear away any paperwork.
Outdoor areas
Don't hide this vital space under a pile of ‘junk'. Have a general tidy up and do the simple repairs. Plant up containers and make the most of the view by cleaning the windows inside and out.
Choose a reputable
estate agent such as OliverFinn that is long established in Chiswick and belongs to the National
Association of Estate Agents and are members of the Property Ombudsman Scheme. Or get a personal recommendation from friends. Here are some shortcuts:
- For fast dusting, use multi-surface cleaning wipes to pick up dust from furniture and electronics.
- Cut back on dust by making sure your vacuum cleaner bags and filters are clean and in good working order.
- Steam cleaners are a great way to quickly clean multiple materials and surfaces without chemicals.
So challenge yourself to throw away one item of clothing for each new one you receive, or have a good sort through your clothes. Packed cupboards suggest to buyers that there’s not enough storage space.
But when discarding things that we just don’t need any more, it’s important to do it in such a way that doesn’t hurt the environment. By
recycling and re-using our junk, we can help the world and those around us.
