Selling a home can feel overwhelming, but with the right steps, you can make your property stand out and sell faster. If you’re in Minehead and looking to attract buyers quickly, this guide offers simple, actionable tips to make your home irresistible.

First Impressions Matter – Especially Smell!

The very first thing (within the first few seconds!) people notice when they walk into a property isn’t the furniture or the paint—it’s the smell! Since you may be used to the scent of your own home, it’s essential to ask an independent person what they smell when they walk in. Whether it’s pet odours, cooking smells, or simply a stale atmosphere, addressing these issues is crucial.

Here’s how you can improve your home’s fragrance:

• Deep Clean: Eliminate odours at the source by thoroughly cleaning carpets, upholstery, and other soft furnishings.
• Add Pleasant Scents: Use Kindly Cosy’s artisan wax melts, candles, or reed diffusers to create a welcoming atmosphere with subtle, natural fragrances.
• Ventilate: Open windows to let in fresh air and ensure your home smells clean and inviting.

Covering over smells, without getting rid of existing odours will cause a masked smell which may put perspective buyers off!

Declutter Without Losing Charm

A tidy home feels more spacious and welcoming, but don’t strip it of personality entirely. Potential buyers want to envision their lives in the space, so remove excess clutter but leave tasteful decor.

Pro Tip:

Store personal items like family photos or overly specific decor to help buyers see the home as their own.

Neutral Paint for a Fresh Look

Bright, bold colours might reflect your style, but neutral tones like white, beige, or light grey have universal appeal. A fresh coat of paint can make a room feel larger, cleaner, and ready for a buyer to move in.

Boost Kerb Appeal

The exterior of your home is the first thing buyers see. Ensure the front yard, driveway, and entrance look inviting:

• Clean Pathways: Sweep and pressure wash driveways or walkways.
• Add Plants: Potted flowers or shrubs by the front door can add a pop of colour.
• Paint the Door: A freshly painted door in a welcoming shade can leave a lasting impression.

Remember they might see the home advertised and decide to go and look from the outside before arranging a viewing.

Focus on Lighting and Warmth

Natural light can make your home feel brighter and more inviting. Open curtains, clean windows, and consider adding mirrors to reflect light into darker areas.

For viewings, ensure the space feels warm and welcoming. If it’s cold outside, light a Kindly Cosy candle to create a cosy, fragrant atmosphere that makes potential buyers feel right at home.

Address Repairs and Deep Clean

Minor issues like a leaky tap, scuffed skirting boards, or cracked tiles can make buyers wonder what else might need fixing. Tackle these quick repairs before listing your home.

Deep cleaning is equally important. Pay attention to areas like:

• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Carpets and rugs
• Windows and light fixtures

Highlight Key Areas

Some rooms can make or break a sale. Focus on making the kitchen and bathroom sparkle—they’re often the most scrutinised spaces. Update outdated fixtures and ensure everything looks functional and clean.

Create a Vision for Buyers

Help buyers imagine themselves living in your home:

• Set the Scene: Lay the table for dinner or set up a cosy reading nook with a Kindly Cosy wax melt for ambiance.
• Showcase Flexibility: If you have a spare room, stage it as a home office or guest bedroom to demonstrate versatility.
