AI summary

With the spring house-hunting season here, prepare your home to sell by appealing to buyers' emotions. Start with kerb appeal by tidying the entrance, fixing minor issues, and adding welcoming touches.

Inside, a radical declutter and deep clean is essential. Address all necessary repairs, from small paint touch-ups to larger jobs, and consider a neutral colour palette. Stage your home effectively with balanced furniture and thoughtful details to create an inviting atmosphere before getting feedback from agents.
