What this means for sellers:

Before spending thousands on décor trends or full refits, focus on what buyers actually value:

  • Clean, well-presented rooms
  • Modern kitchens/bathrooms
  • A tidy, inviting garden

Small improvements can make a BIG difference when it comes to attracting strong offers.
