January sees a sharp rise in interested buyers, so there is plenty of opportunity to sell your home to the right buyer.
Buyer interest doubles in January, but the season of dark, long, wet nights throws up some unique challenges that you don’t get in London’s lighter months. To achieve the best price for your home, the savviest sellers will be looking to counter any negatives that the season brings. Here are our top tips for selling in Winter:
If you’re usually a bit cute around your thermostat, here’s some news set to make your shiver: nobody wants to view a house with their coat on. Make sure your home is nice and toasty well before viewers arrive, so they get a feel of cosy indoor months. They’ll also be reassured that you’ve got a well-functioning boiler.
You might have seen it in a beautiful house in Home and Country, but step away from the dark grey paint pot. Dark colours tend to suck the already limited light out of the room, so if you’re thinking of redecorating ahead of putting your home on the market, go for lighter neutrals.

Outdoor spaces tend to look a bit sorry for themselves during the winter months. While it’s probably too wet to mow the lawn, if you’ve yet to rake fallen leaves, now is the time.
Kerb appeal is a bit of a cliche, but, at the risk of cliche-overload, you don’t get a second chance at a first impression. Make sure you wash down the driveway removing any muddy footprints, do a bit of weeding and make the outside look as pleasant as it possibly can in Winter.
