STOCKPORT VENDORS: WHERE DO BUYERS LOOK DURING VIEWINGS?

Stockport Vendors: Where Do Buyers Look During Viewings?

If you are a Stockport homeowner looking to sell your home, come and speak with Spencer Harvey. We are Stockport property market specialists and we are pleased to say we have helped many homeowners sell their home in an effective manner. This is an exciting time for Stockport and there are many people looking for homes, but the property market remains highly competitive. Knowing what buyers are looking for is important, but when it comes to property viewings, knowing what prospective buyers look at is hugely important.

A study involving innovative eye-tracking goggles found that 95% of prospective buyers went to the window of the property. There are many reasons why the window is important. There is no denying the importance of a beautiful view or the negative impact that a poor standard of view can have on a home. There may not be too much that a homeowner can do to improve the view from a window, but there are other aspects that matter around the window-frame.

Ensure your windows are properly insulated and secure

Buyers want to make sure that windows are properly insulated, and double-glazing is a prominent feature that appeals to prospective buyers. There is also the fact that security is essential around windows, so a buyer will likely check the windows to ensure they are robust and dependable. With the view, security and energy efficiency all related to the standard of windows at a property, vendors should be aware that this is an area that buyers are keen to see.

Another aspect of the home that a buyer is interested in looking at is available storage space. Don’t be surprised if a buyer takes the time to open all storage cupboards and spaces to check how much room is available. Therefore, if you were planning on using these areas to cram items in to make the rest of the home look more spacious, it could be a bad idea.

Use storage space wisely when selling your home

Many property specialists recommend using half to three-quarters of storage space, in a neat manner, as this provides a guideline on what the area can hold without making it seem cramped or overcrowded.

One area that was found to be less important to buyers than some people may have thought is the cleanliness of an oven. The study suggested that no one took the time to open the oven, so you may not want to spend as much time cleaning the oven as you would, particularly if you are pushed for time.
