Do I need a floor plan?

The benefits of a floor plan when you sell/let your property are incredible.

Did you know back in the 1930’s home sellers often had floor plans of their homes? Many people think they are a recent addition to property details. I used to think the same. 
 
They just somehow became lost in the passage of time. There is no doubt about it- buyers love floor plans. They tell me of their frustration when there is no floor plan to view. But why are they so important? Here are our thoughts and findings:
 
Searching for a home for sale 
When property hunting, a floor plan can show buyers quite quickly if a home will work for them or not. Pretend you are house hunting. Maybe you are. Need 3 double bedrooms? At a glance, the floor plan will show you. Confused by the Estate Agents write up? The floor plan acts as a map guiding you around the home. Thinking about knocking walls down? The floor plan can show you if its possible. Floor plans have helped both sellers and buyers by attracting the right sort of viewer at the beginning.
 
Viewing a house 
Knowing a floorplan when viewing a home allows a client to visualise the home easier as their own. It can sometimes make a client understand the space and the potential the property offers easier. A cluttered room can often look small on a viewing. A floor plan shows it’s not. The viewer can see if a wall can be knocked down or not. If your home as already had this done or indeed has been extended, a floor plan shouts this fact out!
 
After the viewing
A floor plan often helps a client after the viewing. Buyers can sit down and plan. It reminds them of areas they may have forgotten or even overlooked. It shows them what can be done. It helps your buyer's thinking process.
 
If you were house hunting would you find a floor plan useful?
Our suggestion would be to have a floor plan on your details. Make sure it is big,  it’s clear and it’s precise, and you’ll attract buyers who really are interested in buying your home.  And even if they still don’t buy, you will get much better quality feedback.
