Don&#8217;t forget to sweep the pavement outside if you have trees lining your street. Having scattered leaves can make a property look very unkempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Early viewings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything looks better in the daylight. With less and less light in the evenings, try and book viewings during the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye on the local sunset times, and book viewings at weekend if buyers can&#8217;t get out of work early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The viewers will appreciate being able to see more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to avoid the ceiling lights if possible, as these can be a little harsh.\u00a0 Use softer light in the autumn.  Lots of candles, side and table lamps, and fire to give that warm, homely glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Think cosy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In autumn, people tend to combat the dark and rainy days with candles, blankets and hot drinks. Offer your buyer a warm drink, light those spiced apple candles, and listen to the crackle of a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;ll all add to the mood, and&nbsp;the viewers will feel more inclined to put an offer forward once they see how cosy your home really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/coppenwall.com\/hub\/2018\/04\/18\/10-ways-of-adding-space-and-value-to-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\">adding space and value to your home&nbsp;<\/a>here, or alternatively, follow this simple checklist on <a href=\"https:\/\/coppenwall.com\/hub\/2018\/08\/20\/prepare-your-home-for-a-viewing-in-2-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">how to turn your house back into a show-home in 2 hours<\/a>!
