Storing your clutter could make you money!

14th September 2014

Research shows that doing things like taking down family photos, removing a lounge door and even parking an expensive car outside your house, can, according to agents add £2,500 to your home’s value when selling!

This also gives sellers something tangible to do when selling a home.

Some 95% of agents say de-cluttering helps your home sell while 38% “insist it increases the sale price ‘every time’. And it’s not a small amount we are talking about either, but potentially over £4,500 more.

Other ways to add value:-
Baking bread or putting coffee adds over £800
Strategically placed mirrors add (£947)
Removing a door (£930)
Taking down family photos (£921)
Removing furniture or bulky items (£836)

It is however essential to make sure your property is de-cluttered BEFORE you get the agents in.

Why? Because to sell your home for the most money, you want as many offers as possible, to get this your property needs to look fantastic on the photos your agent will be putting on-line.
