How to prepare your home for a viewing.
The viewing is where the magic happens, the time where potential buyers, who have bottled up their hopes and dreams, get to experience the reality of your home. No doubt, they will have devoured the photographs, been addicted to the video and scrutinised the floor plan, which is why your property has made their cut of possibles. Therefore, you don’t want to dampen their enthusiasm at the first hurdle, which is why we have put together our top tips on how to prepare your home for a viewing.

A few ways to add value to your garden.
Summer is quickly approaching, and we long for those fine days where we can enjoy spending time outdoors and enjoying our gardens again. Gardens have a huge role to play when selling your home. The space you have at the front of your home is responsible for that all important first impression and your main garden is effectively another room in your home. As we start to spend more time in our outdoor spaces, how can your garden add value and help sell your Winchester home?

What will happen to the Winchester housing market in 2022?
At Dybles we know that the Winchester housing market has remained strong and resilient for several years now. Over the last 18 months the pandemic has fuelled a search for space and this is set to continue into 2022. The ability to work from home has enabled many office workers to expand their search radius, enhancing Winchester’s appeal as an ideal location for the typical London commuter.

If you think the property market is cooling down? Think again!

However, it appears the successful vaccination programme and easing of lockdown restrictions are enticing more homeowners to sell their properties - just in time for the summer selling season.
