Would you pay an extra £30k to not do up house?

We have been told that we should be able to get £270k for our house by estate agents but there is another house close by built at the same time with exact same plans for which they're asking £240k
The other place supposedly isn't in great condition, while we've done ours up (New kitchen, bathroom, wood floors, New boiler, guttering etc). We also have a driveway and parking while the other place doesn't.

Writing it out makes it sound a bit better but would anyone pay an extra thirty thousand for the same structure, just done up nicer?

I'm curious because I don't know how much the agents might exaggerate to get our business. Or am I too cynical?

Come on then, do a rightmove link to both houses. Will tell you for sure then Grin

New kitchen, new bathroom, new boiler, new floors, new gutters.

How much would that cost to actually DO?

In the area that I live, I'd pay 10k for the driveway.
