AI summary

With the spring selling season underway, preparing your home is key to appealing to buyers' emotions. Start with kerb appeal by tidying your entrance, garden, and exterior.

Inside, perform a radical declutter and a thorough deep clean. Address all necessary repairs, from minor touch-ups to fresh paint, and consider neutral colours to create a blank canvas. Thoughtful staging and finishing touches like fresh flowers help create an inviting atmosphere. Finally, get feedback from friends and agents before listing.
