39%
According to recent UK research, homes take an average of around 16 viewings before a sale is secured. And for many buyers, the decision is made very quickly. Around 39 percent of buyers decided after just one viewing.
Our 4 Tips...
1. Make a Welcoming Entrance
The first step is your home’s exterior and entrance. A clean, clear path, tidy front garden and a welcoming door all help create a positive impression before a buyer even steps inside.
2. Clean, Tidy & Declutter
Inside the house, make sure everything feels fresh and cared for. Clean floors, clear surfaces and minimal clutter all help buyers imagine living there rather than just looking around. With an average of 16 viewings required, each one counts. Being ready makes a difference.
3. Highlight Space & Light
Open blinds and curtains to let natural light flood in. Arrange furniture so rooms feel spacious and functional. Since many buyers decide quickly, making sure the space looks its best from the start is important.
4. Small Touches Make a Difference
Minor fixes, such as replacing old light bulbs, fixing taps or adding fresh flowers, show your home is well looked after. These touches add to the overall impression that the property is move in ready.
