With Wimbledon being particularly popular with families and young professionals, it’s vital to know the best way to appeal to your buyers. Here are our top tips for selling your property in Wimbledon

1. First, think about who might buy your property, then try to tailor your space to appeal to the main group without alienating others. If you’re close to the station and feel a professional couple would be ideal, turn the spare room/office back into a proper bedroom and make space for a workstation elsewhere in the house. This way, the house would still appeal to a young couple with a small child, or downsizers who want space for visitors.

2. Most people move from Central London to Wimbledon for the green space and more outdoorsy lifestyle. Make the most of your garden to attract these buyers. Tidy up, cut the lawn and make the best of any outside space.

3. The most important room for potential buyers is invariably the kitchen. If you’re planning any refurbishment, this is the project to choose. Open out the space and create an amazing room that no potential buyer will be able to resist.

4. If your property is within a current catchment area for a good school, make sure this is made clear to potential buyers – it could make all the difference. If you live close to a school, arrange viewings outside busy drop-off and pick-up times when parking can be difficult and local roads congested.

5. If you’re selling a flat, maintenance can be minimal in the communal stairwells. If you feel yours needs some TLC to give buyers the best first impression, time spent cleaning and clearing any clutter to make the stairwell appear fresh and appealing, will always be time well spent.

6. Wimbledon is very popular with first-time buyers and they often want a good second bedroom to rent to a friend. If you have a smaller bedroom furnish it with a bed and some storage.

7. Parking, as in many London boroughs, can be difficult. If you live in an area where parking is restricted, consider giving potential buyers a visitors permit.
