What jobs to prioritise for selling

Getting my house ready to put on the market and trying to work out where my time and money is best placed.

The house is generally in good condition in a good area and likely to sell in any condition really but I've done all the jobs myself and although I'm enthusiastic, my skills aren't perfect and some things I think will need attention/fixed before it's on the market.

So any advice on what you look for or what might put you off when looking at a house.
I'll include some of the things I think need to be done and maybe you could help me prioritise some of them.

-we had a couple of leaks which have all been fixed but have left some damage (a damp looking patch/bubble in the ceiling). I'm thinking this is important to rectify?
-a door doesn't open/close easily since getting a new carpet
-fence between us and neighbour is old and manky looking. Some of it has come off at the bottom.
-taps/sink in the toilet look old and if I were staying I'd replace.
-doors and skirtings need to be painted.
-garage is a total mess.
-paint touch ups in some rooms.

Essentially if I wasn't moving I'd want to get these jobs done but what do you think is important or is anything not worth my time doing?
Thanks!
