Make it smell delightful! - Buying a house is as much about the feeling when you walk into a house as the practicalities of it. To help make that impact on the emotional level and get the overall effect of pleasing the senses the smell of your property is important. The classic is to bake some cakes in the oven letting their fantastic smell filter through the house. Even if you are not a chef, buy some ready made cake mix or bread dough.
