THE BRIGHT FINISH GUIDE

An exterior checklist before selling your home

Buyers see the outside before the living room. A tidy approach helps present the property clearly in photographs and on viewing day.

Walk the approach as a visitor

Start at the pavement and walk towards the front door. Notice what draws your eye: a dirty path, scattered items, weeds or marks on the drive. Make a short presentation checklist rather than trying to change everything.

Plan around photography

Ask your estate agent when photos are being taken and which areas will appear in the listing. Discuss cleaning before that date, allowing for weather and drying where relevant.

Show how the outdoor space works

Clear unnecessary clutter from patios and garden paths. A visible seating area and clear routes help viewers understand the garden. The aim is to present what is there, not disguise damage.

Look at the finishing details

View the entrance, external gutters, fascias and soffits from ground level. Note what needs cleaning or further inspection. Keep repairs separate and raise maintenance concerns with an appropriate professional.

Send one clear brief

Share the postcode, surfaces, approximate size and photos, alongside the target dates. Estate agents arranging work for a client should include access arrangements and who will agree the quote.

Focus on presentation

Cleaning can improve kerb appeal. Sale price and timescales also depend on condition, location, marketing and the wider market. Focus on making the home welcoming and ready to show. We work with homeowners and local estate agents on exterior presentation.
