How to Prepare Your Home for a Summer Sale in South Wales

Summer is a great time to sell your home — longer days, blooming gardens, and brighter light all help show your property at its best. But in today’s market, first impressions really count.

Here are our top tips from SA Property to get your home sale-ready this summer:

1. Boost Your Kerb Appeal

First impressions matter. Mow the lawn, clean your windows, trim hedges, and add some colourful hanging baskets or pots near the front door. A fresh lick of paint on your front door can make all the difference.

Tip: In SA4 and surrounding areas, buyers love a well-kept garden that feels ready to enjoy.

2. Declutter and Deep Clean

Let natural light flow through every room. Clear countertops, remove excess furniture, and give everything a thorough clean. Consider hiring a professional cleaner before the photos or viewings.

Summer bonus: Open windows during viewings to bring in fresh air and let your home feel light and breezy.

3. Style for the Season

Swap heavy curtains or winter throws for lighter, brighter options. Use seasonal flowers, fresh cushions, and soft furnishings to give your space a fresh and modern feel.

4. Fix the Little Things

That dripping tap or scuffed skirting board? Buyers notice! Taking care of minor repairs shows that your property has been well maintained — and avoids giving buyers reasons to haggle on price.

5. Show Off Your Outdoor Space

South Wales summers are perfect for BBQs, gardens, and relaxing on patios. Make your outside space feel like an extra room. Clean outdoor furniture, tidy lawns, and maybe even stage a seating area.

6. Get a Local Expert Valuation

Online tools can’t tell you what your home is really worth — not in any postcode. A local, independent agent who knows the market can give you an accurate, realistic valuation to help you price to sell.
