Selling house

[Keir]

as has already been said, decorate each room and clear as much as you can. I wouldn't take any offers at that price either. stick to your guns or a developer will come in spend 25k on it and make 100 more in fact a developer will probably do that anyway even at your full price.

This isn't really relevant for you but I'll mention it in case any other sellers are following this thread.
When I was selling the last house I had a particularly shitty 3 piece suite. It was old and had been left uncovered when I had some plastering done, which had made it look filthy (even though it had been thoroughly cleaned). So rather than buy a new set which may not have been appropriate for the next place, I bought some (3) Photographers 'backdrop' material in sizes big enough to cover the 3 pieces of furniture. They were carefully folded and locked away until shortly before a viewing when they'd come out for the cover-up as part of the 'dressing'.

the work is ongoing.
Picked up a load of box's from storage place on Saturday and heading back today to take hire a unit.

will go through the rooms with a lick of paint..

we cleaned up the front of the house.
removed all the moss from small roof and gave it a lick on paint.
used up some gloss on the front door and its very tatty.
you cant see until you get close up but i'm not happy with it.

when the EA comes to take pics we will move the bins/bikes.

at the bottom left you can see where a bit of the garden wall fell down. i cut it away to make it square. not totaly sure what to do there.

Put a pot plant there for the pictures then remove afterwards before some scrote hoofs it away.

Get some ready mix cement form B+Q and fill it. I'd jetwash the wall which should bring it up nicely and paint the front the same colour you did the house and spray weed killer on erm, the weeds.

Looking much better from the outside already.

Saddened not to have received Ste's approval for the paint job on the front of the house.

It looks way better!

Personally when looking at property I look at price, location then layout/floorplan and then get onto the photos. So many properties are shitly decorated/untidy etc and that does not worry me personally as decorating/refurb can be done easily enough providing the price is right.

Not everybody is quite so pragmatic though.

Pack up half your shit and put it in storage, gives you a jump on moving and making the place look better. Also play with the furniture arrangement. It is ridiculous how much better a room can look just by moving a sofa or table.

Paint the wall same colour as the house, cap the broken bit and install flower pot.

Chuck a ton bag of pea gravel in the front garden to cover the slabs. A bulk bag of 10mm gravel is only £40. . Apart from the path. Jetwash that. Before you repaint the door.
