1. don't leave your manky old oven gloves and tea towel hanging from the handle of the oven door

1. put the loo seat down

Feel free to add any others

I always have a little giggle thinking those words are for people who have trouble remembering what they went into a room for. “Oh yes, I came in the bedroom to sleep didn’t I? Good thing Those words are there or I’d have dropped my pants and taken a shit in the laundry hamper.”

Frankly, if a line of cleaning products on a windowsill somehow ruins your ability to see whether a house works for you as a potential purchase, I think you must have a curious lack of imagination.

Remove the cat litter tray from the bathroom!!! Yes really!

Don't leave your indoor airer up with a few folorn-looking pairs of greying pants hanging on it. Even if it is your junk room.

Jet wash your mouldy patio.

Put the Christmas decorations away!

DO hide a stunt pineapple in as many rooms as possible then post the link here so we can try to spot them all.

Dont bother with any of that.

Location, location, location

Buy a desirable house in a great location to begin with. However shit it is it will sell. I have bought houses where the stairs were condemned, where there were slugs climbing up the walls and where there were shag pile carpets with fleas.

Look beyond the surface and you will get a great house.

Grey paint and silly designer touches make not a jot of difference to a serious buyer.

This comment made me laugh out loud

Remove any pet evidence - beds, bowls etc. You might have meticulously clean pets but some don't and you can't tell that from the photos.

Agree with anything like Xmas (or Halloween) decorations as it dates the photo if it's been on the market for a while.

Oh yes, take off those naff stuck on sentences on the wall!

Would it be ok for my three cats to be sitting on the window sills, while photo's are taken, or maybe asleep on my bed. They don't like their naps disturbed !

Oh yes, definitely all cats allowed! When I worked as an EA for a while we had a property for sale where there was a mother cat and kittens. I made sure I always went to the viewings at that property.

Plain white bedspreads make all beds look 100x better. No one wants to see your Marks & Spencer floral duvet cover.

Get the photos taken on a sunny day.

Don't balance a couple of folded towels on the corner of the bath. You're selling a home (or home from home) not a hotel.

Clear the cornflakes and Ribena bottles off the top of your fridge/cupboards.
Also Bleach by your loo.

Hide the sex toys

Clear the sex dungeon before taking the photos
