A clean, well-maintained interior goes a long way in making a positive impression. Buyers will be keen to see that the property is looked after, so pay attention to these areas:

• Thoroughly clean the kitchen and bathroom, ensuring taps shine and surfaces are spotless.
• Clean the windows inside and out for a bright, airy feel.
• Air out the property by opening windows, removing any lingering smells.
• Tidy away any clutter start packing early by getting rid of items you no longer need.
• Clear hallways of coats, shoes, and bikes to create a clean, welcoming entrance.
• Keep kitchen surfaces clear of food, washing up, and packets.
• Pack away toys from other rooms (children’s rooms can keep their toys).
• Hide paperwork and organise any wires or chargers.
• Replace any blown lightbulbs and straighten pictures on the walls.
