Just rang the EA this morning and booked for him to come round Weds to do the paperwork - he rang back less than an hour later to say he had someone who rang up straight after me looking for a 3 bed flat in our area and had Weds lined up for viewings - could he come and view at the meeting time and then we'd do the paperwork afterwards?
Blimey!!! That's a bit quick! DH spent all weekend decorating the communal hall, & I've been watching the kids - I'm not capable of much due to ME. But consequently we haven't done much decluttering since the agent came round. Fuck! Can't see that there's much I can do really, other than completely banning DS from playing with his toys for the next two days. Or pushing myself until then and collapsing on Thursday. Or hiring a cleaning company to come in tomorrow and shove all the bagged up washing in the attic, tidy up and scrub everything down.
Not quite sure what I'm asking of you here girls - maybe any advice from anyone who's sold a house in a complete state, despite having inner high standards? :o

I had a maisonette up for sale last year. On reflection, I wish there had been a pic of the hall/stairs. Just to reinforce/make clear that the flat was on two levels.
It was one of the factors which attracted me to my former home when deciding to view/put in an offer. Good luck!

Yeah. DH took some more photos yesterday as it was all spruced up and the sun was shining - I might post them on my profile later if I can work out where he put them on his computer - my laptop charger's bust so I'm lost at the moment without it! But having all these comments has been really helpful.
I don't know why more EA's don't use better camera's and wide angle lenses - you'd think they'd be more creative about what they can offer sellers these days, especially now with websites being so popular!
If I manage to get the photos on my profile I'll post a link up here!

EAs are often very positive if they already have a buyer in mind. I think that is what happened in our case - one viewing and an offer £9k over the other EAs' suggested marketing price. Good luck!
