With the demand for property in Wapping increasing, it’s vital to know how to stand out from other properties on the market. Here are our top tips for selling your property in Wapping.

1. First, look at your home through the eyes of a potential buyer. It’s important that every room in your home appears as it is intended to be used and presented in the best possible light – bright, clean and clutter free, is the way to go.

2. Wapping attracts a lot of investors so think about what your potential buyers may be looking for. Adding a bed and wardrobe to smaller rooms, for example, can help to demonstrate the potential of a further bedroom.

3. Warehouses weren’t built to be light. Make sure your prospective buyers can see how beautiful your property is with well-designed lighting and keep curtains and blinds to a minimum.

4. If your kitchen or bathroom doesn’t have a window, ensure they are fresh by cleaning your extractor fan, removing mildew and refreshing paint or grout. If there is an existing problem such as damp, get it sorted out.

5. Create a dining space. Even someone buying a small studio as a pied-à-terre needs to eat and may want to entertain.

6. The East End is full of character and your property should be too. Take inspiration from the area: look out for pieces by local artists, maps and vintage posters.

7. If you live in a flat where you share some communal parts with other residents, try to keep on top of cleaning and clearing junk mail, even if it is not your responsibility. If potential buyers have to pass through a communal area before they see your property, it’s important that they get the best possible first impression.

8. If you have a balcony, maximise the space and treat it as another room, summer or winter. Think about buying new pots and plants to make sure any outside space looks its best and is fully appreciated.
