The tips that follow are a few practical ways in which you can make an instant, positive impression...

Ensure your pets are secured so that they won’t annoy visitors
Attend to any little maintenance jobs such as sticking doors or windows, dripping taps etc.
A general spring clean will freshen the look and the air
Ensure your kitchen is spotless and the working areas are uncluttered
The delicious aroma of brewing coffee or freshly-baked bread will convey the impression that your home is there to be enjoyed
Bathrooms and toilets should be gleaming – a dish of scented potpourri or soaps add a nice touch

Make sure wardrobes are tidy to highlight a sense of space
Mirrors in smaller rooms can also convey a feeling of spaciousness
Place freshly-cut flowers throughout your home
Interesting knick knacks, books or artwork in feature areas can encourage visitors to linger
