If you’re dreaming of a bigger garden to enjoy in the summer months, have your sights set on your first home, or are looking to upsize or downsize, this is why spring is wonderful time to sell your home in Thanet.

Winter is the time we enjoy snuggling by the fire on a cold stormy night, but as the weather starts to change you might start to think about having a good old spring clean. You may feel that a good sort out is in order, giving your home a decent decluttering ready for summer. When selling your home in Thanet, this is the perfect way to get your property in top selling shape ready for viewings. Just think how good it will feel to get rid of all those things you no longer need, ready for your upcoming move, rather than waiting until it’s time to pack.

No spring refresh would be complete without a thorough clean of your property. You may be a fan of Mrs Hinch and have many a trick to keep your home sparkling, but just as it’s advantageous to give your home a good declutter before selling, a thorough deep clean also needs to be on your to do list. Buyers can be nosey, having a peek in cupboards, fridges and even your dishwasher when viewing your home – a clean home feels like a loved and cared-for home, what better first impression and warm welcome could your home give?

Just as you may have put off the idea of moving, so have many buyers. The uncertainty of the past couple of years seems to have subsided and people simply want to get on with their lives. With that in mind, we have seen the number of potential buyers in Thanet starting to increase, as people seek to find their next home in time for the summer. Families may have school catchment areas in mind, others want to have moved before the school holiday season hits, and for others the timing just feels right.

Houses always look more attractive in sunlight rather than on a dark winter’s day. Walking around a property where natural light is beaming through every window and the garden is bursting with colour is bound to give a warm first impression. First impressions are extremely important, as a buyer can make their mind up on a property within seconds, so why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of this time of year before the summer holidays it? Summer is a time for traveling, entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the weather. Who knows, we may be hit with a heatwave, and you could be sipping a chilled beverage in the garden of your new Thanet home.

OK, we can’t predict the weather, but we hope you’ll have less chance of a rainy moving day in spring than what we have experienced over the last few months. Moving soggy boxes isn’t fun, and we know that you’ll be worried about your furniture getting damaged in the move. What could be better than seeing the last box unloaded off the moving van and standing in the garden of your new home, watching the sun come down.

Moving in spring gives you the summer to settle into your new home. Yes, you may have everything unpacked and in place, but it’s only when you’re actually living there that you start to see the changes you can make. Imagine the BBQ-filled summers with friends and family popping by, drinks flowing and conversations never ending. You have bought a property, but it’s only when it’s filled with what and who you love that it starts to become your home.
