I could not believe the lengths we had to go to to sell our old flat.
Everything painted, all the wee jobs done, cat got sent away, tons of stuff put in storage. We were lucky that it was only a few years old and all tiled or laminate otherwise would prob have got new carpets! And this was about 5 years ago when things were still going ok.
My wife’s an IFA and it was her that drove it onwards/nagged me to keep it clean and tidy..
In the current climate itll have to be pristine to compete- is it a decent area? How old?
Second the point about checking others prices, should tell you if your friend’s price is realistic.
