As summer fades and autumn begins, October is the perfect month to refocus on your property goals, whether you’re preparing to sell, looking to add value, or simply want. As the seasons change and autumn arrives, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the property market. A few simple updates and seasonal touches can make a big difference in attracting buyers and ensuring your property stands out.
At Graham Butt Estate Agents, we’ve put together our top tips to get your home autumn-ready.
1. Freshen Up Your Interior
Autumn is all about warmth and comfort. Consider adding soft throws, cushions, and cosy rugs to make rooms feel inviting. Clean windows, declutter surfaces, and remove personal items to help potential buyers imagine themselves in the space.
2. Embrace Seasonal Colours
Subtle autumnal touches can enhance the appeal of your home. Think warm-toned accessories, natural textures, and seasonal flowers. A tasteful splash of colour can make your property feel homely and welcoming.
3. Improve Curb Appeal
First impressions matter, even in autumn. Clear fallen leaves from pathways, trim hedges, and ensure lawns are tidy. Adding a seasonal wreath or potted plants by the front door can create a welcoming entry point for buyers.
4. Check Heating and Lighting
As the days get shorter, buyers will notice how well-lit and warm your home feels. Check that all heating systems are working efficiently and add extra lighting to darker rooms. A well-lit, warm home feels comfortable and well-maintained.
5. Make Practical Repairs
Now is the perfect time to address small maintenance issues such as leaky taps, creaky doors, or chipped paint. Attention to detail reassures buyers that the property has been well cared for.
