Selling your home in Autumn

We have definitely all felt that switch in seasons with chills confirming Autumn has been heralded in. As opposed to being outside all we want to do with darker mornings and evenings now is curl up nice and warm, flick the heating on and relax.
If you are thinking of selling your house capturing the attention of buyers during this season means paying attention to making your home look as warm, inviting and cosy as possible. It is all about creating a feeling that potential buyers will love from gentle lighting, warm walls and flooring and different textures complimenting each other.

If you are thinking of making a change to your internal decoration and moving away from the fresh neutrals of spring and summer try warming up your walls or even adding feature wall with a rich earthy tone. Adding texture around the room will add to the feeling of warmth.
If you have a wooden floor consider adding a few luxurious rugs. Have fun with it and look at textures: fur, leather, faux leather, corduroy, velvet. The combination of soft furnishings you add will create the ultimate look. Don’t be afraid to use more than two colours but keep them from a complementing colour palette. Perhaps a rich, warm wallpaper will catch your eye or the addition of a piece of furniture. Add some fresh green plants and voila you have room ready to get cosy in that will see you through to spring.

Our professional photography enables us to capture that feeling of warmth and comfort in your home so that buyers can then get a true perspective of just what the property would feel like to live in before coming and viewing in the flesh.

Take a look outside to inspire your colour choices for the inside. Complementing hues of browns, oranges, red and yellows will instantly warm up the look of any internal room from your bedroom to your lounge or even your kitchen.
Lighting is a key factor in creating a warm glow in the room. Consider the effect a log fire has on lighting up a room, follow that theme and remember to light up darker corners even with a little candlelight or low lit lamps to make sure buyers see the full cosy potential of each room. Low, warm lighting that adds to the ambiance of the room will allow the buyer to imagine the lifestyle they could have to entertain, relax and enjoy.

Our HD property tour videos will capture the flow and atmosphere your property projects, so it’s important to add a degree of continuity throughout the property.

Don’t forget outside. Buyers will be approaching on dark nights and well-lit path and doorway is the start of the inviting atmosphere of your home. Our Relationship Manager accompanies all our buyers to our viewings, which allows the buyer to be “introduced” and “acquainted” with the property and all it’s positive features.
