SWMBO & I have decided to downsize. Handyman Towers is a spacious 3 bed semi with attached garage, much bigger than we need now the childers have gone - plus we have a lot of equity in the place - loadsamoney.
On of my happy band of regular customers was an estate agent prior to starting a family and I've been getting some advice from her.
Interesting to note that some agents value properties on the high side & negotiate hard to get the best price (and maximise commission of course), whilst others undervalue slightly & encourage sellers to take lower offers - SPQR. Best bet is to pick one when selling & one when buying - and now I know who is who.
Place is in reasonable order, just needs a bit of tarting up. Her advice - magnolia & white everywhere.
Big job is the hall, stairs & landing. Currently has slightly textured paper - think it was called 'cracked ice' at the time (not woodchip).
Stripping & filling would take a lot of time. How naff is freshly painted textured paper do you reckon?
