However, when presenting your home for sale, cluttered work surfaces may\u00a0indicate\u00a0to some\u00a0buyers that your property is on the market speculatively (<em>after all, if you have not\u00a0made an effort to tidy up, maybe you are not\u00a0all that serious about selling)<\/em>. \u00a0A\u00a0well presented kitchen demonstrates that there is plenty of available storage space for non-essential items.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8832\" style=\"width: 838px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8832\" class=\"wp-image-8832\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/25350665_original-edit.jpg\" alt=\"25350665_original-edit\" width=\"828\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/25350665_original-edit.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/25350665_original-edit-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/25350665_original-edit-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8832\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The kitchen is the most important room for many buyers.

Bedrooms<\/h3>\n<p>Bedrooms are best presented\u00a0bright and airy and at the same time\u00a0warm and inviting. \u00a0You want your buyers to imagine themselves kicking off their shoes after a hard days work and sinking their head into sumptuous pillows for a good nights sleep, then awakening to the early morning sun streaming through the windows.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8846\" style=\"width:

bathrooms should be\u00a0presented\u00a0impeccably clean. \u00a0Like\u00a0every room, clutter (shampoo bottles, toothpaste tubes etc)\u00a0should be removed, and the remaining items organised. \u00a0One important and often overlooked detail is the toilet seat. \u00a0The toilet seat should be down! \u00a0Not only is it bad feng shui (after all we don&#8217;t want our energy and wealth\u00a0leaking\u00a0down the toilet), but simply put nobody wants to see inside your lavatory!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8859\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a

wonderful spaces where your buyer will imagine themselves relaxing on a hot summers day, with a few small considerations you can really help sell this space. \u00a0Be sure to set up your garden furniture for everyday use; sunloungers set up by the pool, tables and chairs set up\u00a0with\u00a0a bottle of wine and a couple of glasses.\u00a0\u00a0Remove\u00a0all pool cleaning equipment, your buyer does not need reminded that the pool needs to be\u00a0maintained. Any other item that does not serve a purpose your buyer will identify with should also be removed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8883\" style=\"width: 841px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tips-for-selling-property1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8883\" class=\"wp-image-8883 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tips-for-selling-property1.jpg\" alt=\"tips for selling property\" width=\"831\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tips-for-selling-property1.jpg 831w, https:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tips-for-selling-property1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miapropertyboutique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tips-for-selling-property1-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hide pool cleaning equipment and other non-functional items.
