🏡 How to Get Your Home Summer-Ready
☀️ Plus: Top Tips for Selling During the Sunny Season!
Summer is one of the best times to make your home truly shine – whether you're planning to enjoy it or get it on the market. With longer days, blooming gardens, and motivated buyers, it’s the perfect season to showcase your property at its best.
Whether you're prepping for BBQs or readying for viewings, here’s how to get your home summer-ready – and boost its selling power.
🌿 Summer-Ready: Boost Your Home’s Warm-Weather Appeal
1. Freshen Up Your Garden or Outdoor Space
Your garden is your summer showstopper. Mow the lawn, trim the hedges, and add bright potted plants or flowers. Freshen up fences, sheds, or decking with a quick paint touch-up or power wash.
2. Let the Light Flood In
Clean your windows inside and out. Ditch heavy curtains in favour of sheer or light fabrics that let sunlight pour in – it makes rooms feel brighter and bigger.
3. Declutter & Deep Clean
Think “light, bright, and breezy.” Clear out surfaces, tidy up hallways, and deep clean key areas like the kitchen and bathroom to keep everything looking (and smelling) fresh.
4. Add Summery Touches
Swap heavy throws for lighter linens. Add bowls of citrus fruit, fresh-cut flowers, or a few coastal-style accessories for that relaxed, summer-at-home feel.
5. Keep It Cool & Comfy
Airy rooms feel inviting in warm weather. Open windows early or use fans to cool down stuffy spaces before viewings. Crisp white bedding and neutral tones can make bedrooms feel peaceful and cool.
🏠 Selling This Summer? Here's How to Make the Most of It:
1. Max Out Your Curb Appeal
A well-presented front garden, freshly painted door, and tidy pathway create an instant positive impression – before buyers even walk through the door.
2. Showcase Your Garden Lifestyle
Add a table and chairs, set the scene with a few cushions or string lights, and let buyers visualise summer evenings spent outdoors.
3. Time Your Viewings Wisely
Book appointments for mid-morning or early evening, when your home is naturally well-lit. And if you've got a sunny kitchen, garden view, or bright lounge – make sure it's highlighted at the right time of day.
4. Use Seasonal Photography
Make sure your property photography takes advantage of natural summer light. Bright, cheerful shots of the garden and sun-drenched interiors really stand out in online listings.
5. Be Flexible & Ready
Summer can mean busy calendars – so being open to weekend and evening viewings can make all the difference. Keep your home tidy and “viewing ready” for any last-minute interest.
