The situation is this:
At some point, a house needs to be sold. It's a 1930s semi-detached cottage, in original format. Downstairs bathroom, pine-clad walls, brown tiles, blue bathroom suite. This is the only bathroom.
Kitchen is small, with outdated units. Dining room and sitting room are separate, decorated with white paint over wood chip paper. Carpets are brown and tatty.
One kind of dodgy 'garden room', one tatty attached garage.
3 bedrooms, one a small single. None have been decorated for many years. Main bedroom has fitted wardrobes from about 30 years ago.
Very pretty cul de sac street in a popular and expensive large village in the South East. Most of the other houses on the road (same style of cottage) have been extended/modernised and have families living in them, mostly two-(large) car families.
We have two divided opinions on what to do to the property before it's sold. One party says that a coat of fresh paint will work wonders and will boost sales. The other party says that no painting is necessary, as the potential buyers will be the sort to want to knock down walls/extend/modernise.
What would you do?
A. Paint.
B. Don't paint.
