The Halliday Way – Dress Your Home For Winter

Friends,

Are you worried that your property will struggle to sell in the colder months?

Well fear not we have compiled our top tips to help you dress your property this winter.

1. Darker nights

In the winter we all know the dark nights draw in quicker than we all like, this is why it is important to utilise natural light while available during the day. However, if it is dark or dull we need to be able to work around this.

High wattage bulbs – Cheap but effective way of brightening any room
Lamps and candles – Will create a warmth and glow to each room
Have curtains and blinds drawn – Any blockages over the windows may make rooms feel smaller than they are

2. Furnish for the season

It is key to promote warmth and comfort in each room during the colder months. This can be done by.

Adding cushions or throws to furniture – These will make any item of furniture feel more comfortable
Light the fireplace – The flames will instantly make any viewer feel warmer
Winter scented candles – Spiced scented candles will follow viewers throughout each room

3. Keep the garden tidy

We all neglect the garden during the winter, because lets be honest who wants to be out in the cold. However these quick tips will make all the difference.

Clearing the leaves – Most of the leaves will have blown away by now but if there are a few strays please make sure to clear these away.
Outdoor lighting – Keeping your garden lit when the nights draw in quickly will not only help viewers see what is on offer but offer a sense of security and warmth.

4. Keep Christmas out

As you will know we are all for Christmas at Halliday Homes, we love to decorate our offices nice and early. However if the Christmas decorations are in the photos it can cause issues for prospective buyers.

Christmas trees – Often furniture is moved to make space for the Christmas tree this can leave the property feeling slightly out of sorts.
Clutter – Christmas decoration can seem messy and create clutter, to maximise the feeling of space this something we like to avoid.

As a buyer in a very busy sellers' market, I was impressed by the personal attention provided by Halliday Homes. Marie was particularly helpful in providing guidance, having formed an accurate picture of the next home I was seeking. Prompt exchange of information and viewing details were most helpful! Heartily recommended.

If you are thinking of selling your property through Halliday Homes you won't be disappointed. I have used Halliday Homes twice now with selling my property and I have also bought through them as well. The whole team Austin, Marie and Grant are friendly, excellent at what they do and most importantly know the market. First time I used them, I sold my property within 7 days and the second time within 48 hours so they have an excellent track record in achieving great results. I simply wouldn't use any other agent!

Having just sold my flat with Halliday I can say without a doubt that I would recommend them to anyone. From start to finish the process was seamless, their local knowledge is second to none and most of all the service they provide is so personal and friendly. Grant was so helpful and accommodating, especially given that I was a first time seller and had lots of questions, nothing was a hassle. Hayley’s photos were so lovely and I’m sure had a lot to do with the interest I had on the property. I am so happy with the offer I received as a result of the platform Halliday gave my flat, selling within 24 hours of being on the market was the icing on the cake - 10/10 !!

Grant, Marie and Austin were a pleasure to work with and made the process of buying and selling as slick as possible. We were particularly impressed with Hayley’s pictures and videos that she took of our property. We were constantly kept updated through the whole process and felt like we were in safe hands.

We were very satisfied with the excellent service provided by Hallidays. Everyone was so helpful, and knowledgeable, and they made the very stressful process of selling a house seem very easy. We sold within ten days of the house being put on the market - there wasn't even time to put a board up!

Fantastic service from start to finish. Assisted throughout and we’re extremely knowledgeable with our first rental and then later when we decided to sell the property. Recommend 👍🏻
