Fresh Start: How to Prepare Your Home for Sale This Spring
Spring is the perfect time to put your property on the market. With longer days, blooming gardens, and buyers actively looking to make a move before the end of the year, it's essential to present your home at its absolute best.
At MyPad Property Styling, we know that first impressions count—especially in a competitive market. Here's how to prepare your home for a standout spring sale.
1. Declutter and Depersonalise
Spring is all about fresh starts, so give your home a clean slate. Clear out excess furniture, packed cupboards, and any personal items like family photos or collections. The goal is to help buyers visualise themselves living in the space—so keep it neutral, open, and inviting.
2. Deep Clean Everything
A sparkling clean home feels well-cared for and instantly more appealing. Go beyond the surface: wash windows (inside and out), dust ceiling fans and skirting boards, clean carpets and polish floors. Don’t forget those often-overlooked areas like grout lines and light fixtures.
3. Power Wash for Instant Impact
Exterior surfaces like driveways, patios, fences, and brickwork can collect grime over time. A high-pressure wash can make them look like new again, boosting your curb appeal and signaling to buyers that the home is well maintained.
5. Let the Light In
Spring sunshine sells homes. Open up blinds and curtains to flood rooms with natural light. Consider switching heavy drapes for lighter fabrics, and make sure all windows are spotless to maximise brightness.
6. Tend to Minor Repairs
Fix anything that looks worn or broken—whether it’s a squeaky door, chipped paint, or loose tiles. These small issues can add up in a buyer’s mind, suggesting potential bigger problems or added costs.
7. Style for the Season
Use light, airy styling to create a relaxed, springtime vibe. Incorporate soft pastels, fresh linens, and touches of greenery indoors. A vase of fresh flowers or a bowl of citrus fruit on the bench can add a welcoming feel.
