Make Your Home The Pride Of Scotland

It was recently reported that the average house price in Scotland has now reached £200,000, which is a 6.7% increase on the previous year as the housing market continues to blossom after the recession.

A flourishing housing market is good news for those currently looking to sell their home but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the effort to get it in the best possible shape before putting the ‘For Sale’ sign up. You will be competing against hundreds of other properties and you need yours to attract all the attention for all the right reasons. So that you get the true value of your home when selling and make buyers stand-up and take notice of it, you should use the following as a guide: • It’s lovely being able to spend time in the garden so make sure that the front/black lawn has been mowed and any weeds removed, bushes trimmed, leaves swept up etc. • If you have wooden windows/doors then give them a fresh coat of paint, or better still, get them replaced with UPVC windows/doors as they’ll never need painting or cleaning. • De-clutter the house as the last thing people want to see is rooms full of ‘junk’ and it will make the inside feel so much more spacious. • Buy a few scented candles and air fresheners so that upon their arrival any potential buyers are greeted with an alluring aroma. • A brand kitchen or bathroom can totally revitalise your home and give it a whole new curb appeal or simply redecorate and update them. • Give the entire house a good polishing so that everything is left gleaming and completely free of dust. • It might seem a very minor thing but make sure that all the beds in your house have been made.
