Small repairs can make a difference when selling your home. Here are some of the most important recommendations we give our clients: Painting. Avoid bright colours, neutrals are ideal. Damp. Repair the damp areas and repaint. (The damp must be repaired from the root or could otherwise be a "latent defect".) Doors and windows. All locks should open and close quietly and easily. Lighting. All lights must work, replace any blown bulbs. Bathrooms and kitchen. Fix any leaks and make sure that sink fittings are free of limescale. Furniture and decorative items. Remove all unnecessary furniture that reduces the space and try not to have too many decorative objects on show.
