Top 10 Tips to Sell Your House in France

During a property crisis matters are very different. Buyers are scarce, canny and looking for bargains. They know they have the upper hand and that they can buy what they want and normally at a significant discount on any sale price.

So, are you doomed not to sell - unless you drop your price to an absurdly low level? Of course not.

People generally buy French properties because they ‘fall in love’ with them or because one is ‘everything we always dreamed of’. This is because the atmosphere of a property ‘moves’ a buyer and creates a ‘must have’ sensation. It is this powerful and deeply compelling characteristic that you must strive to achieve when you are preparing your home for sale. If you are successful in doing this you will increase your chances of selling significantly - so here are the Top 10 tips:

1. Space

Few matters are more important to buyers than a ‘feeling’ of space. This is as important to someone seeking a studio flat as a person wanting a luxury villa.

Look at photographs in interiors magazines and see how fantastically desirable are the properties and what they all have in common – no clutter. Surfaces are clear and furniture minimal.

So, remove everything that in any way reduces the ‘sensation’ of space. This may have to include possessions that are dear to you. Few people will ever buy your property because of your belongings, so be ruthless and consider them as distractions. Store away as many as possible for the time being.

2. Light

Make sure your property is filled with natural light as possible. A lack of plentiful natural light strikes deeply into the subconscious with places that are gloomy and always producing a negative sensation.
