Colour you should paint your front door if you are trying to sell your home

Property experts have confirmed there is a certain colour front door which seems to be helping homes across Liverpool sell.

Window and door retailer Safestyle found that homes in Liverpool with a navy blue front door sell for approximately 31% more than the regional property price average.

James Smith, property expert from estate agents Richardson and Smith, said: "Whether you have a new build or a period property, we often find that coloured front doors in bold, striking shades such as red or black help to improve kerb appeal as they create a stronger first impression and add stylistic features to a property."

Nationally, homes with red doors sold for the highest average price (£413,279).

James also shared other tips on how to make the best first impression when it comes to selling your house.

He added: "When buyers view a property for the first time, initial thoughts are typically based on the appearance of the exterior of the property, the location and any potential scope for an extension or loft conversion.

"Of course location is always important but the condition of a property and value for money are a high priority for buyers too. As exterior shots of a property are often the first image a potential buyer will see on an online listing, it’s important to think about your front door design as well as the wider exterior of your property to drive in-person viewings and the likelihood of a higher asking price."

James also said value can be added with finishing touches that can be done on a budget, including cleaning windows, gutters and your driveway.
