24th July 2009

According to some now is the right time to put your house up for sale because there is a shortfall of sought after property available and an increase in numbers of buyers who are keen to make the most of low fixed interest rates currently on offer from mortgage lenders. No-one knows when the current low fixed rates will start to rise.
   
However, whilst property prices fluctuate and buyers attempt to negotiate for the best deal, homeowners who are considering selling property at this time will want to ensure that they achieve the best selling price.
   
In order to ensure that their new property sellers receive the best advice on presenting property to sell to achieve the best selling price; Rentons Countrywide Bingley branch are offering all new customers who list for sale in July (2009) a free Property Presentation Consultation with the UK’s leading Styling and Staging experts; House Wow Ltd.
   
A HouseWow® Consultation, from £95.00, offers property sellers advice and suggestions on how to make the best of their home. First impressions count the most, according to Anita Richardson, CEO at House Wow Ltd. 
   
Anita, Show home Designer trained in Property Staging techniques with TV’s House Doctor, Ann Maurice and has helped many homeowners sell their property faster in a difficult market. 
   
Anita says “When selling a home, its important to remember that the first impressions that a potential buyer gets are from the photos they see in the estate agent’s marketing details. It doesn’t have to cost a lot to make a property look fantastic; it’s about using what you have wisely, effective furniture layout and attention to accessories all adds that little ‘extra something’ to make the property appealing to buyers.”
  
Whether the property requires just a few tweaks to layout and some accessorising or total decluttering, HouseWow® can offer advice, suggestions and support. The first lounge picture [left] shows a comfortable family home and again afterwards with a new look thanks to a quick fix facelift from HouseWow®. 
  
The second lounge [left] shows a home in desperate need of decluttering. House Wow’s West Yorkshire Consultant Stephanie Keighron can be seen getting stuck into clearing the room and again afterwards adding the finishing touches.
  
This Master bedroom [left] was a complete turn off to potential buyers until it was turned into an inviting bedroom by introducing lighting and attractive bedding. “The finishing touches make all the difference to potential buyers. The biggest mistake that property sellers make is to redecorate all of the rooms before they get professional advice on what buyers really want to see. Re-decorating is often just not necessary.”
