What little touches would make you want to view/buy a property?

[Paperwhite209]

Valuations yesterday, fairly average 3 bed 70s terrace, good location for shops, schools, public transport.

I've still got some decluttering, tweaks and gardening to do so looking at getting on the market mid April (I work f/t in a school so need the Easter hols as a safety net!).

Would just really appreciate any opinions on little things that are/are not worth doing?

A couple of things I'm wondering about - having neutralised the decor I've not put any artwork back up on the wall and wondering if it would make it look more homely or just be too personal and a waste of time?

Also to what extent should I try and 'stage' it? It's nicely decorated, clean and tidy. In particular I'm wondering about the dining area - I feel like it would be good to have it fully set up to show the space but I'm halfway through an upcycling project and don't know if spending 2 days sanding, finishing and reupholstering dining chairs is a good use of time!

Fair enough! I'm sure your poetry is creative and lovely!
I think the furniture thing is actually understandable, you're not the only person with poor spatial awareness, and if it helps to sell, all good.
I think it's just when it's taken to silly extremes. I'm sure that you aren't put off by the wrong towels or duvet covers!

Clean, tidy, uncluttered, neutral or fresh smell Make it look as big as possible. Fix anything small that is broken ie locks, door handles and touch up scuffed paintwork on your skirting boards, doors and frames and clean up any pet hair. These are some of the little things I would notice and think that if you hadn't fixed them then maybe you hadn't maintained the house well and there could be other bigger things hiding. Otherwise don't bother with fancy stuff
