Before I put my house on the market, in May this year, I spent around £5,000 getting it prepared, - new boiler, all electrics checked with certificate, painted inside and out in neutral colours. I had been on the market for 5 weeks with no viewings, then next door put theirs on the market, same price, same colour scheme, different estate agent, with in 4 weeks he had 6 viewings and sold. when I asked my estate agent why, when my house is actually bigger, with more rooms, I hadn't had a viewing, he told me that mine was 'tired' looking. So now I'm wondering if it was worth it, and if I will ever get a viewing.
