How should I prepare my property for sale?
Prepare accurate information, appealing presentation, clean photography and a practical plan for buyer questions and viewings.
Start with the property facts: address, dimensions, features, chattels, inclusions and known issues. Gather documents your solicitor or buyer may need and make sure the listing does not overstate anything.
Presentation can include decluttering, cleaning, small repairs, photography and a floor plan or virtual tour where appropriate. FiSBO can explain available marketing services, but you decide which work to commission.
Plan how buyers will make enquiries and how you will host viewings. Prompt, accurate responses build confidence without creating promises you cannot fulfil.
