Richmond has a fantastic variety of properties, from Victorian houses to modern developments, so it’s vital to know which buyers to appeal to when you’re marketing your home. Here are our top tips for selling your property in Richmond.

1. The Richmond property market is fiercely competitive and first impressions count. Little touches such as cleaning windows, clearing clutter, tidying the garden and painting the front door with a fresh coat of neutral paint, will help create good first impressions and make your property stand out.

2. Richmond is very popular with families due to its park and excellent schools. 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.

3. Being right on the river is one of Richmond's greatest attractions. If you’re lucky enough to have a riverside property, make the most of all views. Fully pull back the curtains and think about placing chairs near the window to suggest the possibility of reading the morning paper while looking out at the river.

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. The most important room for potential buyers is invariably the kitchen. If you’re planning any refurbishment, this is the project to choose. Aim to open out the space to make a room that no potential buyer will be able to resist.

6. Despite being so well connected, with transport links into central London, Richmond still maintains a very country feel. It’s also home to the largest of London’s Royal Parks. Emphasise these aspects by having London theatre tickets, local photographs and leaflets of activities further south all on show.
