Clean your property or hire a professional cleaner

First impressions count and buyers can make important decisions within seconds of entering your property. Cleaning your home is one of the easiest ways to ensure you achieve as close as possible to your preferred asking price.

Kitchens should be cleaned, with no dirty dishes lying around and no stains on the hob or cooker.

Bedrooms should be free of dirty underwear and bed linen washed regularly and smelling fresh.

Bathrooms should be cleaned throughout and free from limescale and staines.

Vacuum clean and dust the whole house regularly, trying to keep your home clean enough that you could be ready to receive a viewing within 30 minutes.

Professional home cleaners

If you are busy at work, consider paying for a professional cleaner or cleaning services to clean your home once or twice a week.
