When our valuer Graeme first started in estate agency 30 years ago the most popular home presentation tips were, circulate the aroma of fresh coffee brewing and warm bread baking in the oven. Although fantastic smells always help, we’ve got lots of great ideas to share, helping you secure that all-important sale.

Over the decades our tips to get your home ready for viewing have continually developed whilst clients also have excellent ideas, gleaned from their own experience and the variety of TV programmes focusing on interior design.

The presentation of your home remains an essential factor to convey its appeal to potential buyers and enhance its sale price. We always take time to chat through presentation with our homesellers and offer important advice to boost their home’s desirability. It’s all part of preparing your property for sale.

For example, we once gave one of our clients some particular advice on their property pre-sale, recommending a trusted tradesman to do the work. This resulted in achieving a sale price which was almost £15,000 more! We are firmly of the opinion that no other agent would have recognised the potential to enhance the property whereby the client would benefit financially by such an impressive amount.
