How do I prepare for a viewing?

The viewing is the moment when buyers decide whether a property is a possibility for them. Good preparation makes a big difference here. The aim is to show the property in its best – but honest – light.

How to prepare

Tidiness and light

A tidy, clean and bright flat looks larger and more inviting. Open the curtains, provide good lighting and clear away unnecessary clutter.

Have documents ready

Keep the most important documents to hand so that you can answer questions straight away. That creates trust and shows the sale is being taken seriously.

The first impression at a viewing often decides more than any argument afterwards.

What really convinces buyers

At a viewing, buyers often decide in the first few minutes whether a property feels right. Besides tidiness and light, atmosphere counts too: a clear entrance, a pleasant smell and rooms that do not feel overcrowded. Honest answers to questions create trust, while evasive replies immediately raise doubt. It also matters that buyers can imagine the flat as their future home, so too much that is personal tends to get in the way. Anyone who observes these points stands out clearly from poorly prepared viewings. From decades of practice we know what counts, and we present your property so that it convinces without feeling staged.

The right approach

Lead calmly through the rooms, emphasise the strengths and answer questions honestly. Too much sales pressure tends to put people off. How the viewing fits into the overall process is shown in How does a property sale work?. A good brochure prepares the viewing, see What belongs in a good brochure?.
