Potential buyers need to imagine they are living in your house, so get rid of ornaments and photos - especially posters in kids bedrooms. Put things you don't really use on a daily basis in the attic or storage. Big pieces of furniture should also go into storage and make rooms feel much bigger. Focus on the hallway - clear away coats/clutter, the bathroom - hide all your products and in the kitchen clear the work surfaces of appliances, jars, tins etc.
A fresh coat of neutral paint, new tiling or floor covering, and a couple of new kitchen doors can do wonders to smarten up a tired looking property. If you can't stretch to re-tiling in the bathroom re-grouting should bring it up new. As will putting in matching chrome fittings, replacing broken light bulbs, freshly painted front door, ironed sheets in the bedroom.
Everyone knows first impressions count and you'll want the house to appeal to as many people as possible, as the more people there are that like the property, the higher the selling price should be. So sweep up and make sure the front garden and hall to your house are tidy and inviting. If you've got parking, leave the space for the buyer it will add to the whole experience.
