Re-paint your walls, windows and doors
Giving your home a fresh lick of paint is a great and cheap way to create a better first impression with buyers and also to add value to your property.
Neutral paint colours work best as they allow home-buyers to see the space better and give the room a fresh, light feel.
Period paint colours, such as Duck Egg Blue paint, are popular at the moment and can help restore period properties to their previous glory.
What paint to use
Matt paint or vinyl silk paint for walls, gloss paint for skirting boards, doors and window frames.
