East Sheen is particularly popular with families and it’s important to know the best way to appeal to your buyers. Here are our top tips for selling your home in East Sheen.

1. East Sheen’s parks and good schools make this area a magnet for young families. If you have children, don’t shy away from letting this show when preparing to sell. It often helps viewers to be able to imagine a family home, and children’s paintings on the wall or toys in a corner can quickly make your home look lived-in and loved.

2. Ensure your garden is as well-kept and presentable as possible. One of the reasons many buyers choose East Sheen is because the gardens are larger than in Barnes or Richmond, so making any outside space as attractive as possible is essential.

3. The housing market in East Sheen can move quickly, so any paperwork involved with your sale should be in order and ready to pass onto your solicitor as soon as a buyer is found. Good paperwork is key and helps keep the momentum of the sale going.

4. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not always necessary to spend lots of money on your property prior to it going on the market. It’s always worth taking the advice of an experienced agent before committing to any refurbishment costs to ensure you’re investing your time and money in the right areas, if at all.

5. Before marketing photographs are taken of your property, tidy away all leads, cables and remove clutter. This will help to make rooms appear larger and your home look more appealing.

6. If you’re lucky enough to have a driveway or allocated parking space, keep it empty for viewings so prospective buyers can appreciate its value.
