Kensington has a fantastic variety of properties, from Victorian houses to modern developments, and it’s vital to know the best way to appeal to your buyers. Here are our top tips for selling your property in Kensington.

1. First, look at your home through the eyes of a potential buyer. It’s important that every room is used as intended and presented in the best possible light to potential buyers – first impressions count.

2. If you have a garden, balcony or roof terrace, think about buying some new pots and plants to make outside space as appealing as possible.

3. Kensington is very popular with family buyers. If you have children, don’t shy away from letting this show when preparing to sell. It often helps viewers to imagine a property as 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.

4. Local events such as garden parties and fêtes are popular in Kensington and a great way to meet the neighbours. Leave out a recent local events guide to show potential buyers the strength of the local community.

5. If your property is in a mansion block, make sure the concierge or porter know about any viewings in advance so that your prospective buyers receive a friendly welcome if they turn up early.

6. Make the best of any period features. Show viewers that you have working shutters and windows, clear spaces around original fireplaces, spruce up the paintwork on cornicing, clean windows and pull back curtains to reveal any views or outside space.
