Moving house
Why makeover if you’re moving?
Most buyers make up their mind in the first few minutes of their viewing so it makes good sense to hire SORT YOUR S P A C E to help your house stand out from all the others they’ve seen that day! If you are selling your home you are more likely to achieve the asking price and find a buyer faster if your home is well presented with the buyer’s criteria in mind. Taking advice on property styling can help achieve more viewings and more interest.
You will save money on removals and increase your chances of a fast sale by decluttering first. In a recent survey of NAEA members 45% of estate agents agreed that clearing clutter is crucial and that small overlooked factors can often make a huge difference. *
Remember anything that needs fixing or finishing also counts as clutter, so fix it, finish it or get rid of it! This is an ideal time to take a good hard look at all your furniture and belongings and decide which you really need or will want in your new home.
Before marketing your property or lowering the price, consider a moving makeover consultation. Often friends and even estate agents are reluctant to give this kind of advice for fear of seeming critical. SORT YOUR S P A C E provides an independent confidential service and will offer advice in a friendly, tactful and professional way. Remember, the way we sell a house is different from the way we live in it. SORT YOUR S P A C E offers objective, clear and impersonal advice based on excellent knowledge of the local area and what most buyers are looking for.
Presentation is everything.
SORT YOUR S P A C E will tactfully advise you how to take your own personality out of your house and turn it into a product styled for sale. It is very difficult to do this yourself as you have lived in it and created your own individual look. SORT YOUR S P A C E will show you which small changes could make a big impact on first impressions.
You will be shown how to arrange your furniture and accessories and style your rooms for photos and viewings without spending a lot of money.
How does it work?
The moving makeover is a walk through verbal consultation during which valuable objective advice is given about how buyers will see your house and which small changes you can make to maximise its appeal during viewings. You can make your own notes or choose the optional typed summary of the recommendations made. This includes presentation tips and a list of local suppliers and tradespeople. This service keeps your costs down by enabling you to carry out the suggestions yourself.
Alternatively, if you prefer, or if you are pressed for time or live elsewhere, then for an agreed fee SORT YOUR S P A C E can organise any changes needed and stage your house for you.
How much does it cost?
Moving makeover verbal consultation £60.00
Optional typed summary £40.00
