When it comes to selling your house, there are a few simple ways you can maximise your selling price — without breaking the bank in the process
Selling your house can be a stressful time — you’re packing up your belongings as well as your memories, and there’s the pressure of trying to time the sale to coincide with moving into your new home. No one wants their empty property sitting on the market, or even worse, the lack of a sale delaying moving into their new place.
We spoke to Sarah Marry from Hestia interior design studio in Dundalk, who shares her top tips for getting that house sold.It goes without saying that you need to declutter then deep clean your home. If the space is cramped, people won’t notice the good features. Equally, a messy or dirty space will make people immediately turn away.Walls and floors are the first thing a buyer sees when walking into a home.Make sure your walls are freshly painted, and the colour you choose is very important.
We are big believers in feng shui. Mainly this involves incorporating natural elements of earth, metal, water, wood, and fire into the decor. While studying feng shui, I learned that having a statue of a galloping horse somewhere in the home seems to sell very quickly. We often put this statue on the mantelpiece. Having nice smells, such as reed diffusers or candles will also help, and try to avoid putting on harsh lights, table lamps with soft lighting will make people feel like they are home.
