20 Essential Questions Every Seller Must Ask Before Presenting Their Property for Sale.

Buyers aren't just looking at bricks and mortar. They're deciding whether they can see themselves living there, and presentation affects how many enquiries you get, the offers you receive and the price you finally achieve.

Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler work through the 20 questions every seller should ask before putting a property on the market: what buyers notice first, how much kerb appeal matters, whether to declutter and remove personal items, when redecorating is worth it and when it isn't, which small repairs make a difference, whether you need a professional stager, why the kitchen and bathroom carry so much weight, how to prepare for photographs and viewings. 

Plus the single biggest mistake sellers make.The short version: buyers don't expect perfection. They expect a home that looks cared for.
