Comments (25)It seems that the issue is that in its current state the only buyers are the ones that want to make profit and therefore they won't pay much.- if you just want rid and paid lots less than the earlier offers then fine but you will incur costs for selling and so I can't imagine how you would break even. I think you should spend the money to make it saleable and although on the list, carpets are the last thing you should buy and then only when you have done everything else- frankly a buyer will buy a house with no finishing touches as long as they don't have to make big purchases themselves. To have mass market appeal you have to remove any issues and give the new buyers what they want. Check with agents about the type of buyer to expect - and ask the right agent- avoid the one with no experience and ask the one who looks like they are in charge. You need to know who to plan for- for instance some buyers prefer a bath with shower over and some will prefer a big shower, the type of heating may be important, the style and size of kitchen plus how to present the garden( some buyers want a football pitch for kids and some want low maintenance without anything that they could slip on). I suspect you will be told to strip all the paper and redecorate neutrally, replace the kitchen and bathroom, put in central heating (sorry -missed the heating in an earlier comment) upgrade electrics where necessary. This might cost around £10/12k but you should do your research about what else is on the market because if everything is basic quality you might choose to improve the spec for a faster sale. You should also examine the rental potential. Don't worry too much about the car parking- thousands of houses across the U.K. have on street parking only and they sell plus you can't do anything about it....See MorePORCH REPAIR DRAINAGE ADVICE

Comments (16)Hi, I've had leather sofas... wouldn't get them again. They look great and are easy to clean, but if you are someone who gets cold easily and don't like the feel of cold surfaces in the winter you will cringe every time you sit on them in the winter. (I'm guessing you have wood burner because your house gets cold) and if you are someone who is generally hot all the time then in the summer when your're wearing shorts and t-shirt you will stick to them and they will make you very sweaty leaving wet patches as you get up. The worst is when guests leave wet patches where their bums have been! Once the sofa has been worn in a bit and the seat area gets a tiny bit saggy as they all do, you will find yourself sliding into the sag. You will find yourself pulling yourself out each time you get up, especially in the bigger sofas. An occasional chair as in Sonia's picture I think is fine or if they are in a secondary room. Not to mention repair costs if you manage to damage the leather. Regarding cleaning sofas then we bought a upholstery and carpet cleaning machine. (The house had very light cream coloured carpet throughout when we moved in) It works great. We never had a problem with fading or any extra wear and tear....See MoreShould I keep original internal doors?
Comments (61)Sorry I haven't read the comments (too many) but if you are considering keeping them, I'd send them off and get them dipped. If they come back in one piece then go from there. It may be they come back with a lot of damage, some panels may need to come out - but you can always update with fluted glass panels etc. If they come back and were full of filler etc and bad condition then sand, fill, sand again and paint a dark shade. You can make them look beautiful if you want to. It may be they come back in good condition! In which case you can stain and keep natural. I'd probably replace all the hardware though....See More- last year
