We want to put our flat on the market after Christmas. We have awful wood chip in most of the rooms. It's a 3 bed flat and only one bedroom has nice smooth walls, the other two have old wood chip, as does the living room and hallway. Painted over several times and peeling with surface cracks.
Bathroom and kitchen are less than a year old, new expensive carpets but we just can't do this work on the walls but worried that it will prevent a sale. We would have to move out and move our stuff out for two weeks and we just can't with young children. I work from home and the kids are at school nearby.
Would you buy a flat that needed replastering? We would take 15-20k off the asking price, maybe more.
The flat has a lot going for it. Zone 2, a decent sized garden, big rooms, 3 bedrooms, high ceilings, a lot of light...it's just the issue with the walls.
It only really started bothering us in lockdown when we had nothing better to do than stare at the walls! It always bothered me more than DH though but the size of the job put us off doing anything about it.
