Spring is a wonderful time of year in Stevenage. The days are brighter, the weather starts to warm up, and everywhere you look, flowers are beginning to bloom. It’s also a great time to sell your home!
If you’re thinking about moving house this spring, or just curious about how it all works, we’ve put together some helpful tips to get your home ready to impress. At Mather Estates, we’ve been helping people in Stevenage and the surrounding areas buy and sell homes for years – and we know a thing or two about what makes a property stand out!
🌼 1. Make Your Home Look Lovely from the Outside
People often decide if they like a house before they’ve even gone inside. That’s why it’s really important to make the outside of your home look neat and tidy.
Homes can look amazing in the spring sunshine -especially with a bit of care and attention.
- Mow the lawn and tidy up the garden.
- Plant some colourful flowers like daffodils or pansies.
- Give your front door a fresh coat of paint.
- Clean your windows so they sparkle.
Even adding a cheerful doormat can make people feel more welcome!
☀️ 2. Let the Sunshine In
One of the best things about spring is all the extra daylight. So, show off your home by making it as bright as possible.
- Open the curtains and blinds.
- Clean the windows (inside and out).
- Turn on lights if a room still feels a bit dark.
A bright home feels happier, and people looking around will be able to see how lovely it is.
🧹 3. Have a Big Spring Clean
Spring cleaning isn’t just something your nan talks about—it really works! Giving your home a proper clean can make a huge difference.
- Hoover the carpets and mop the floors.
- Dust shelves, corners, and behind the telly.
- Tidy up the kitchen and bathroom.
- Make beds look nice and neat.
If your home smells fresh and looks tidy, people will enjoy being there. You could even add a bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers to make it feel homely.
📦 4. Tidy Up and Keep It Simple
When people come to see your home, they want to imagine what it would be like to live there. That can be tricky if there are toys everywhere or lots of personal things on display.
- Put away anything you don’t use every day.
- Keep surfaces clear, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.
- If you have pets, tidy up their things too!
Don’t worry—you don’t need to hide everything, just keep things clean and cosy.
🪴 5. Show Off Your Garden or Balcony
Lots of people in Stevenage love outdoor space, whether it’s a big garden in Broadwater or a sunny balcony in the town centre. So make sure yours looks its best!
- Sweep paths or patios.
- Add some potted plants or flowers.
- Set up a chair or two so people can picture themselves relaxing outside.
Even small outdoor spaces can feel special in springtime.
