Selling in Kent This Spring: Here’s What You Need to Do Now
Mon 03 Mar 2025
Warren Bowman, Managing Director
Spring is a great time to put your property on the market. If you’re thinking of selling this spring, now is the time to start planning. Here are some practical things you can do this week.
Jobs to do outside
-
Problems like dodgy chimneys, slipped tiles and broken or leaking gutters can put prospective buyers off before they walk through your door. As tradespeople like builders and roofers are often booked up well in advance, get some quotes and book them in.
Jobs to do in the garden
Gardens get neglected over the winter but can be a big selling point once spring arrives. You could start catching up on garden maintenance.
-
Jet-wash patios, driveways, garden furniture and outdoor play equipment to banish winter grime.
-
Do trees or shrubs need lopping or pruning? It’s better to get this done now before the leaves appear and bird nesting season begins.
-
Plant some spring flowers to add a splash of colour.
Jobs to do inside
The dingy days of winter can hide problems that the lighter days of spring will expose to potential buyers.
-
Do a room-by-room check. Look for any obvious faults that might put buyers off and need attention.
