How to get the best price for your fulham home

When you sell your property, you want to make sure you achieve the best possible price. One of the areas where this is key at the moment is Fulham. House prices here rocketed between 2013 and 2014, outstripping many areas of central London. However, an influx of properties available for sale has caused a decrease in average asking prices.

As well as carrying out repairs, follow these key pieces of advice to make sure your Fulham home achieves its maximum value.

Dress to Impress

When you sell your property, aim to sell a lifestyle. To do this, think about the way new show homes are presented. They offer a sleek, luxurious and stylish living space, but it is depersonalised, making it relatable to viewers. One of the easiest ways to create this is by removing personal photographs and items, painting to create feature walls and finishing with stylish fabrics. It is also wise to make sure every room is dressed and has purpose, presented as a bedroom, office or dining room with adequate storage.

Additional Space

If you are selling, the last thing you want is to be dealing with is extensive remodels. However, an easy way to boost the price of your property is by gaining permission and finding out prices. Apply for planning permission to build a bedroom over the garage or begin the conversion process by boarding out your loft. This will give buyers options, making your property more appealing to a wider range of people.

Kitchens and Bathrooms

These are two key areas that can make or break a sale. However, they can also be incredibly expensive areas to renovate. If you install new suites, you may not reap the financial rewards, so consider easy updates to transform your rooms on a budget. Do this by repainting, adding new cupboard doors, flooring and accessories.

Outdoor Advantages

If you are fortunate enough to have outdoor space with your property, make sure you show case it. Think of your garden as an extension of your home, with an additional room that needs to be fit for purpose. Add a decking or paved area for seating and barbeques, a shed for storage, a grass play area for children, or a space for growing vegetables. You could even add a retractable canopy and patio heater for year round use.

Use the Best Agent

Unfortunately, not all estate agents are equal. To make sure you find the best agent to sell your Fulham property, get valuations from a number of companies, find out how they will market your home and check the types of property they specialise in. It is also wise to pretend to be a buyer to test the skills and knowledge of a prospective estate agency.
