Which Room is Most Likely To Sell Your Home?

​If you’re thinking of selling your home, you might be thinking of some low cost renovations to attract buyers - from external house painting to give a great first impression to updating your kitchen or bathroom.

However, before you set out on your home renovation missions, a new study from housesimple.com surveying 1,000 people across the UK has busted some myths of what does and doesn’t attract new buyers the most when viewing your property. Somewhat  surprisingly, kitchens didn’t come out at top of the list, despite what we're often told, according to Property Reporter. 

It showed that for people viewing a typical 3 bedroom home, they’ll spend around 1.5 times longer looking at a living room than they would a kitchen. A kitchen comes in at number two on the list of top five selling points. Third on the list of deal breakers was the master bedroom, fourth is a great garden space and fifth is the bathroom. 

Alex Gosling, CEO of HouseSimple.com said: “We advise prioritising low-cost tactics to showcase your home in the best possible light, whether that’s opting for neutral decor or simply removing clutter before a viewing.”

The study also revealed how people spent the majority of the time when viewing a property looking at furniture details such as tables, sofas and work spaces. In a one bedroom flat, surprisingly the kitchen came in fourth on the list,  with the living room most important , bedroom second and an outside space such as a courtyard or balcony third.  A dedicated dining space only came fifth on this list.

Perhaps most surprising in this study was that the bathroom didn’t make the top five of a one bedroom flat.
