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?

I might be tempted to think 'do these freshly painted walls hide a damp problem' ?

That is what an estate agent would say:-)

With a bit of luck it will be white, with a large plain shaped steel bath, the type of bath that, when full of steaming hot water, lowers the local reservoir by a couple of inches.

I detest modern flimsy baths with moulded in crap!
