Doing this can make it feel more homely to the sellers and they can really start to envision themselves living there.
Jonathan said: "Wash windows inside and out and in preparation for winter, look at lighting to make your home attractive.
"Use bright bulbs in darker areas and get the bins out of sight."
As well as a clean room, homeowners should do whatever they can to make it look like somewhere someone could live.
The expert suggested styling all rooms as they are being sold and removing clutter.
Filling the house with nice smells, such as a newly baked cake, can also make it more appealing.
He added: "Use rooms as intended so clear the gym equipment in bedroom three and turn it back into a more usable room."
Keep the kitchen clutter to a minimum and dress the space with a chopping board, some fresh ingredients and some interesting books.
