Does a cluttered property hinder selling?
My advice is to declutter as much as possible. You want buyers to be attracted to it, or to be able to imagine themselves in it. You want them to see the potential in how they could make it their home. Having all of your possessions on display interferes with this picture you’re trying to paint.
Unfortunately, this is more likely to prevent buyers from seeing the potential. Start decluttering your hallway first. Your hallway or entrance is the first thing your buyers are going to see after they enter the property and is your second chance to make a good impression (the first being your front door). Make sure everything is tidy.
Remove any paperwork, keys, wallets and other personal items that generally tend to accumulate around these areas. Thin down any coat racks so they only contain the coats you need.
Pack away shoes that you aren’t wearing right now and make the hallway feel as spacious as possible. Giving the impression of a clean and tidy, well organised hallway will give the buyer the impression that everything else in the house (including repairs and maintenance) is taken care of and organised too.
Removing the fear of things likely to go wrong with simple organisation is an easy way to increase the chance of selling your house.
