Spring cleaning tip’s for a better property valuation

Homes are meant to be lived in which is why it’s almost impossible to be clear of all mess – especially if like me you have children! However, you’ll be amazed what a difference a day’s spring clean can make to a properties valuation & appeal!

For instance, just by moving all your kids clothing to their wardrobe compared to the pile they often leave on their bed, can transform a room!

The best way to approach this task is by taking some photos of your home. Imagine you’re an Estate Agent trying to get some good photos to show potential buyers. When you review these pictures you’ll soon realise how much difference a few hours tidying up can make on a properties appearance.
