When homeowners are preparing their house for sale, many forget one crucial area. The outside.

Curb appeal can never be under-estimated! We all know that first impressions are vital to get a buyer interested in your house.

But new research has brought to light how important the colour of the front door is!  

A study has revealed that 35 per cent of house hunters would actually refuse to buy a property which had a pink door.

The most popular colour was plain white.

But consider the character of your property. Period properties often look ‘classy’ with regency green, dar red or dark blue front doors.

Also you may wish to consider the Feng Shui of your front door: the colour of the door should reflect the compass direction it faces
