Prepare for Viewings

First impressions are paramount, lavish particular attention and care on those things will form the viewer's first impressions of the property. This includes the exterior of the property as well as the immediate entrance of the house. If even the most basic jobs are left wanting, potential buyers may develop larger maintenance concerns.

Exterior

If you have a garden, give it a comprehensive facelift.
Do not park your car on the driveway, if you have one. Your aim is to remove any potential obstacles between the property and the buyer. Clean the driveway and make it presentable.
If your gate has come off its hinges and is being held up by string, replace it.
Give your front door a fresh lick of paint, or if it is double-glazed, a thorough cleaning.
Clean your windows.
Get on those rubber gloves and clean out the gutters and drains.

Interior

This is the time to do all those little odd jobs that you have been putting off:

Paint the skirting boards.
Shampoo the carpets.
Stick that peeling wallpaper back up.
A viewer will also want to see the potential that a property has extra space by removing clutter. Ideally, you want to get the buyer to imagine how their things would look in the property.
Hang up a mirror in your entrance hall to create the illusion of depth and space.
You've cleaned the windows on the outside. Don't forget to do the same on the inside.
If your garden is immaculate and beautiful, then leave open the curtains in the rooms looking out over it to show-off the great view.
Spring clean the entire house. Get into every nook and cranny.
