Does your house ooze curb appeal?

When you're getting your home ready for sale, it's worth remembering what it was that made you buy it in the first place. Was it the size of the rooms, the garden or maybe the view? Make sure your potential buyers notice that something special which appealed to you.

Of course if you've lived in your home for a number of years, it will probably be full of all the lovely things that make up your day-to-day life. But potential buyers need to be able to see past all that and imagine their own family living in your house – so make it easy for them by de-cluttering and creating a blank canvas.

Outside the house make sure the grass is cut, borders are tidy and patios or decking are clean and weed free.

On the inside, make sure rooms are tidy and clutter free so you can really see the space. And of course kitchens and bathrooms should be spotless.

Although it may sound a bit of a cliché, nice smells like fresh flowers or coffee will create a better impression than damp dog!
