Summer jobs to tackle in your home when preparing to sell

It is official, summer has finally arrived in the UK! (We are led to believe by the calendar but not the weather). On days you can make the most of the weather, these are some jobs we recommend to do in preparation for selling.

Essential Summer Jobs to Spruce Up Your Home

1. Clean Your Patio and Driveway 🚿
Patios and driveways can get incredibly grimy. A thorough cleaning will brighten your outdoor space instantly, making it more appealing, especially if you're looking to sell.

2. Freshen Up the Exterior 🏡
Over winter, cobwebs, dust, and dirt accumulate. Take this chance to brush down doors and gates, ensuring your home looks well-cared for from the first glance.

3. Set Up Garden Furniture 🌿
Outdoor living is a big draw for buyers. Clean your garden furniture, add cushions, and perhaps an outdoor rug. For viewings, set the table with a jug of a refreshing drink and open the parasol to help viewers imagine relaxing summer afternoons.

4. Trim the Bushes ✂️
Spring and early summer growth can make bushes look wild. Keep them neat and tidy to give your garden a well-maintained appearance.

5. Tidy the Lawn Borders 🌱
Grass can grow quickly, making lawn edges look untidy. Neatly cutting the borders will enhance the overall look of your garden.

6. Plant Seeds 🌼
If you have a vegetable plot or greenhouse, show them off! Plant vegetables and flowers to highlight these features in your marketing materials.

Outside space is crucial for buyers. Present your garden as beautifully as your home’s interior. A bit of effort can significantly increase your property's value and attract potential buyers.
