Preparing your home so it sells beautifully
Small, thoughtful improvements and great photography make a remarkable difference.

Declutter and depersonalise
Buyers need to imagine their own life in your space. Clear surfaces, remove family photos and keep furniture minimal so rooms feel larger.
Fix the small things
Leaking taps, chipped paint and broken handles signal neglect. A weekend of repairs can add real value and shorten your selling time.
Tip: A fresh coat of warm white paint is one of the highest-return improvements you can make.
Photograph in natural light
Shoot mid-morning with curtains open and lights on. Capture the facade, living room, kitchen, master bedroom and any outdoor space.
Listings with strong photography receive significantly more inquiries on Albait.
Price with evidence
Compare recent prices for similar properties in your block, not just asking prices online. A well-priced home attracts serious buyers quickly.
