Tidy Your House! Advice To Sellers, Courtesy Of The Halifax

Halifax Estate Agents, part of the poisoned Lloyds Banking Group, have managed to take their eye of their falling value for long enough to churn out a questionnaire of 1000 homeowners. Nice of them to give something back, after the 17billion pounds which UK tax payers pumped into the company in order for them to get their own house in order. Listing its findings in a press release entitled The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home, the survey found that energy saving features and new windows and double glazing installations were highly important to people looking to buy new property. The survey found that external features were the most likely to create a good first impression, with 50% of respondents stating that the exterior of a potential new home is the most important in giving a good or bad first impression. 60% of respondents suggested that new windows/double glazing was considered either essential or desirable for a new property, information which may be of use if you are about to put a property on the market, or have been trying to sell unsuccessfully. The most important features were the bathroom, the toilet, the sitting room/lounge and having efficient central heating installed. Gordon Edwards, Halifax Estate Agents’ managing director, puts it in black and white for us; "Our research shows that most people are influenced by the kitchen when buying a house. However, you don't need to spend thousands on these rooms when trying to sell. Simple measures like decluttering and keeping a room clean and tidy will make your home more attractive to potential buyers." This advice may not bolster those who have bought property as an investment, and who are currently cash strapped and looking to sell.
