When you sell your Melbourne home during the hot-property spring selling season, there can be lots of competition. Follow these spring cleaning tips to present YOUR home better than all the rest:
1. Declutter
A clutter-free house helps buyers connect emotionally with the home by creating space for them to imagine themselves living there. Clean out all the cupboards and the garage, and pack up personal items such as photos and ornaments. Be sure to clear all clutter from kitchen and bathroom benchtops.
2. Clean
Do a deep clean of all rooms particularly the bathrooms and kitchen, thoroughly cleaning windows, floors, walls and doors, light switches and light fittings.
3. Boost Street Appeal
Impress buyers immediately with a neatly mowed front lawn and nature strip, garden beds and driveways clear of weeds, a clean and tidy front door and entry porch, and a clean roof without tree litter, moss or mildew.
4. Home Maintenance
Repair anything not working properly inside and outside the home. That includes gutters and downpipes, doors, windows and window furnishings, cracked walls, fading paint, dripping taps and blown lightbulbs.
5. Gardening
Weed lawns, garden beds and pavers, mow all lawns, pressure clean driveways and garden paths, trim back overgrown shrubs, sweep up dead leaves and clean your outdoor living areas.
