If you\u2019re looking to list your home this autumn, here\u2019s a seasonal selling strategy to help you attract and impress buyers.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

When it comes to selling a home, there are a few fundamentals that apply year-round.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s critical that you get the price right, have a clear-out and clean up and use a great agent.<\/p>\n

But along with nailing these essentials, it\u2019s also worth making a few seasonal adjustments to the way you present your property.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that the days are shorter, cooler and damper in autumn than they are in spring and summer. However, don\u2019t let that hold you back, as autumn can be a great time to sell.<\/p>\n

Buyers in autumn tend to be focused and motivated. Often, they\u2019re on a mission to move as they\u2019ve had a change in work or personal circumstances.<\/p>\n

So embrace the season and follow these five tips for marketing a home in autumn.<\/p>\n

Lighting<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Make the most of the natural light by arranging daytime viewings. Before buyers arrive, open the curtains to let as much natural light in as possible.<\/p>\n

Inside, use warm-toned bulbs and side lamps to create an ambient, cosy atmosphere.<\/p>\n

In the garden, add some fairy lights to brighten up your outside space.<\/p>\n

Ventilate<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Eagle-eyed buyers will be on the lookout for any signs of damp so keep your home well-ventilated.<\/p>\n

Use a dehumidifier regularly in rooms where humidity can be a problem, such as bathrooms or wherever you dry your laundry.<\/p>\n

Garden<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Your garden won\u2019t be in full bloom at this time of year, but it should still be neat.<\/p>\n

Sweep up leaves and debris, and plant a few winter-flowering shrubs, such as witch hazel, poinsettias, winter pansies and heather.<\/p>\n

Scent<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Musty or mouldy odours can put buyers off, so light a scented candle before viewings.<\/p>\n

Subtle scents such as citrus, pine or cinnamon will do the job.<\/p>\n

Tidy<\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have a tidy up so that muddy boots and damp coats aren\u2019t the first thing buyers see when they step inside.<\/p>\n

In the living room, add a few cosy cushions and throws to add texture.<\/p>\n
