How long before viewings should I prepare my home for summer selling?
Start outdoor work two weeks before your first viewing. Complete indoor staging 2-3 days before photos and viewings begin.
Do summer house viewings need different preparation than other seasons?
Yes. Selling your home in summer requires good ventilation and fresh air. You’ll also want to make the most of outdoor spaces, unlike in winter.
Which rooms matter most for summer viewings?
Focus on rooms with garden access or views. Kitchens overlooking gardens, conservatories and rooms with lots of natural light are key.
Should I keep windows open during summer viewings?
It’s better to air rooms before viewers arrive. Open windows can let in noise and insects. Aim for a comfortable temperature instead.
How can I make a small garden look better for summer viewings?
Choose quality over quantity. Use containers for planting, add vertical elements, and select smaller but high-quality garden furniture.
