-
Ensure interior of property is spotlessly clean including steam cleaning of soft
furnishings, curtains, carpets etc. A regular light clean should be arranged
whilst property is vacant.
-
Decorations should be fresh and any touching
up done prior to marketing
- Tidy up exterior: street door, common parts,
patios or garden - first impressions are important.
-
Remove junk mail
regularly.
-
Clean windows (inside and out).
-
Plant up any patios or
garden to enhance the outlook. A colourful window box or tub can make a vast
difference.
-
Ensure appliances work well and look clean and operational
(remember to have the fridge/freezer defrosted and to clean extractor hood).
Instruction manuals should be presented in an organized fashion.
-
Ensure
lighting is fully operational and bulbs are replaced as necessary (especially
important in winter). Unfurnished properties may need additional lights to aid
viewings.
-
In winter the heating should be left on (the benefit of this is
tremendous).
-
Furnished properties should be well presented with beds made
up with new or well-pressed linen and surfaces should be free from
clutter.
