Posted on 13th March 2025 at 17:09
Spring is one of the best times to sell a home, with longer days, better weather, and buyers keen to move. If you’re considering selling this spring, now is the perfect time to start preparing. Here are some practical steps to take this week.
Outdoor Jobs to Tackle
First impressions matter! Ensure your home looks its best from the outside.
Check the roof and gutters – Loose tiles, leaking gutters, or chimney issues can be a red flag for buyers. As roofers and builders get booked up quickly, get quotes and schedule any necessary repairs now.
Garden Refresh - Winter can leave gardens looking a little tired, but with a few quick fixes, yours can become a major selling point this spring.
Jet-wash patios, driveways, and garden furniture – A quick clean can make a huge difference.
Trim trees and shrubs – Do this before leaves appear and bird nesting season begins.
Add some colour – Spring flowers in pots or borders can instantly lift the space.
Indoor Jobs to Prepare Your Home for Viewings
The brighter days of spring highlight things buyers might not notice in winter, so now’s the time to freshen up your interiors.
Room-by-room check – Identify and fix any small issues that could put buyers off.
Tackle damp or condensation issues – Get any damp patches or steamed-up double glazing looked at.
Consider a fresh coat of paint – A quick refresh in neutral tones can make rooms feel brighter and more inviting.
Deep clean floors – Winter takes its toll on carpets and hard floors, so consider a professional clean.
Clean windows inside and out – Maximise natural light and show off your garden views.
Add houseplants – They create a fresh, inviting feel and help buyers imagine enjoying the home in summer.
