Keywest estate agents provides the best advice to help show off your Leicester property on a rainy day

You may have thought that having your Leicester property on the market during the summer months was a great way of ensuring that your home would look its best during viewings.

There’s certainly something to be said about the added attractiveness that a little summer sunshine can bring. Unfortunately, this summer has not delivered as much sun as many of us would have liked – so far at least. This means that would-be buyers have been as likely to have been carrying umbrellas as they would sun hats when they arrived to look around your home.

There is still plenty of time for the weather to change, but even if it doesn’t, there are tactics you can employ to ensure that even rainy days will not dampen the enthusiasm of potential buyers who come to visit your property.

Boost the Comfort Factor

You may not normally consider putting the heating on during the summer months, but it could be a good move if there is a significant chill in the air.

Light the fire or turn up the thermostat if necessary, as this can be a good way of showing off how warm and cosy your property can be.

Light Up the Potential

Good lighting can be a real bonus on grey days. This could mean turning on some lamps to chase the gloom away or lighting some candles to boost the atmospheric value of your home.

Door-Mat Consideration

Ensure that you have door mats at entry points into your property – along with somewhere for people to put their wet umbrellas. This will prevent any unnecessary mess being caused in your property and will also demonstrate the care you take in looking after your home.

The latter can really impress viewers, who will often want to know that they are considering buying a property that has been well looked after.

Sweet Smell of Success

Ensure that potential buyers are not put off as soon as they enter your property by ensuring that your home smells as good as it looks.

This can sometimes be a challenge during rainy weather when wet dogs and damp shoes can introduce unpleasant aromas into your home.

You could invest in some air fresheners, although some buyers may wonder what you are trying to hide if the smell is too strong, or simply make the most of the opportunity to make some sweet-smelling cakes or bread.

Scented candles can also work wonders when it comes to spreading a subtle aroma around your property, and they also have the added bonus of boosting the comfort factor of your home.
