I am seeling my home, a 5 year old town house in a good development in north central Dublin.
I have had it repainted recently ( nice and neutral), and it is in quite good nick.
My question is on how far to go with the "declutter."
I am moving to a new place , renting, before selling this house.
Should I leave stuff like paintings, TV, sofas and beds in place, or leave it completely bare for potential buyers?
Should all litte nick nacks, even impersonal ones, be removed at the time too?
I also have a difficulty with the beds in the bedrooms. My second bedroom is a bit small, with quite an ambitious double bed in it. The third "bedroom" ( developers must have thought we were hobbits) is really only used as a study. Would readers recommend putting a single bed in this ( no room for storage then) or keep a desk and chair in there?
I would be grateful for tips from others, who have recently sold, or even better, those who are actively househunting at the moment.
