Georgina's spring cleaning tips for sellers and landlords

Quick tip time! Spring cleaning is not just a routine chore; it's a crucial step in preparing your home for sale or rent. Ensuring your property is in top condition can significantly impact its perceived value in the eyes of potential buyers or tenants.

Here are my TOP FIVE areas that viewers notice, so giving them extra attention before initial viewings is essential:

  1. Taps and Bathroom Fixtures: Don't overlook the importance of a sparkling clean bathroom. Remove limescale and watermarks from taps and fixtures. Buff them with a dry cloth to make them shine!
  2. Condensation Marks: Address any signs of condensation marks promptly. They can give the impression of dampness, which is a major turn-off for buyers or tenants. Use mould remover spray and consider repainting affected areas for a fresh look.
  3. Tile Grouting: Refresh tile grouting to eliminate stubborn stains. If stains persist or if there are cracks, consider regrouting to restore the appearance of your tiles.
  4. Cobwebs: Banish cobwebs from your home, especially from hard-to-reach places like light fittings and high points over stairs. A clean, cobweb-free environment creates a more inviting atmosphere for potential viewers.
  5. Kids' "Artwork" and Finger Marks: Take the time to remove any marks or artwork left by little ones on walls and floors. A fresh coat of paint or cleaning can make a significant difference in presenting your home as well-maintained and cared for.

While these tasks may seem daunting, they are crucial for enhancing the appeal of your property during viewings. Remember, presenting a home that is "move-straight-in-able" can not only attract more interest but also potentially increase its value.
