If you're searching for some helpful tips for moving during the wintertime, then you have come to the right place! At Philip Ellis, we love helping out our clients when finding their new home whether this is helping them find the property or answering any questions they may have.

In this article, we are going to give you some insight into successfully selling your home during the winter. So, if you’d like to find out more, then make sure to check out our tips and tricks below:

1. Light and Warmth

These are two qualities that can make a home welcoming, especially during the darker months. If the property viewing is in the late afternoon or evening when it's dark, it's vital to make sure that you make your home look just as bright as you would in the daytime. Buyers will be put off by a home that is cold and dark. Light some candles, put on a table lamp, and make each room look inviting and cosy.

2. Seasonal Maintenance

We have written a recent blog about tackling winter maintenance jobs so if you're looking for a more detailed blog about those then head over and give that one a read! There are a number of jobs that will more than likely need to be done throughout the winter months which will make your home look its best. Whether this is clearing out the gutters or making sure that your boiler is running okay, it’s always most vital (and often most difficult) to keep on top of maintenance jobs through the coldest months.

3. Exterior Aesthetic

Kerb appeal and the exterior of your home is so important when a buyer is going to look around your home. An untidy exterior can be the deciding factor of whether they put in an offer or not, so it's important to take care of your home on the outside too! You can do this by sweeping leaves off the property, cleaning the windows, jet washing the drive, and even throwing a new coat of paint on your exterior walls or re-staining your fencing. Remember, first impressions count the most, and the exterior of your home will be the first thing any potential buyer will see when they come to view!
