To hate sellers 'sprucing up' properties to sell, with hideous effect?

[pandarific]

...and then of course putting the price up to a turn-key condition level, when you know you'd need to rip out half of it. Honestly, a nice bucket of white paint applied throughout would be fine!

You don't need to install a nice new bathroom in floor-to-ceiling beige-brown tile. Or deck over/concrete over every blade of grass in otherwise substantially sized garden. Or install 'fancy' kitchen cupboards in the well known poplar neutral shades of gloss red and black. Or paint dado rails in matching fancy colours.

Augh!

It’s a thing of bricky beauty Harriet!

When I was younger and even more foolish than I am now, a colleague’s wife was showing me round their new house. I said I thought the bathroom had potential and would look much better when they’d redecorated. They had just finished painting it....😳
