‘While the research shows there are some smells vendors really need to avoid when having viewings, there is some great opportunity to entice potential house buyers by filling the home with desirable scents.
‘By investing in a bread maker or a coffee machine for the kitchen, creating those smells is so much easier and as the research shows, are likely to leave a lasting impression on those looking to buy a house.
‘Over the past 12 months, we’ve seen a 175% increase in sales of bread makers and a 180% increase in sales of coffee machines,’ says Mark Kelly, marketing manager at AppliancesDirect.co.uk.
The survey also quizzed Brits on the other features potential buyers look for when viewing a property and found 72% would be more inclined to put in an offer if the kitchen featured new appliances such as a fridge freezer, cooker and washing machine.
61% of respondents said they would specifically look at the condition of the appliances when considering buying a house, while 45% would expect white goods to come with the house if they were to buy it.
