Selling checklist

Here is a quick overview of some of the many things you can do to get your home ready for sale.

Fix up the garden.
Clean the exterior of the house.
Fix anything that is broken.
Change all light globes.
Unclutter the house.
Clean windows until they sparkle.
Add a lick of paint to spruce up dull walls and surfaces.
Give everything a good scrub.
Create the illusion of space.
Clean the oven.
Clean old grouting with white vinegar and water (environmentally friendly and it works).
Buy a new shower curtain.
Fix leaky taps.
Replace the toilet seat (you’ll be surprised).
Oil a squeaky door.
Make bedrooms look cosy.
Tone down kid’s rooms (lose the stash of a 1000 toys).
Plant colourful annuals in the garden or a planter box.

A good spring clean of your property can add lots of dollars to the sale price
