Put yourself in a buyers shoes - prep the house as you would expect it to be if you were purchasing. Get opinions from friends and family and ask for honest replies. Some may not be to your liking while others may be.
IMHO I would leave enough work for a purchaser to put their own stamp on it. But I would do some exterior work - just from a presentation point of view. A lot of purchasers will drive by and if it looks attractive on the outside it may encourage them to make a viewing.
But don't overdo it. Having sold our house last year we put a lot of effort into presenting our house and it worked - very much in our favour.
Best of luck.
If I were viewing your house with the intention to buy, I wouldn't be concerned with the lack of floor coverings or fireplaces. As you're intending to sell, I'm guessing you're not going to be spending big money on the house from here on in. Putting cheap floors or fireplaces in purely to secure a sale could deter potential buyers. As others have said, it's an opportunity for the new owners to put their own stamp on the house.
Like Tired Paul has suggested, I would concentrate on the outside appearance of the house. I would level out the garden, finish the garage and have it as tidy as possible....first impressions count!
Thanks tired paul. Yeah presenting the outside well is probably a good idea. Would you leave bare concrete floors? What sort of things did you do to present your house well?
