  • Exciting times. Although selling is a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Never ceased to amaze me when you viewed a really untidy house. Although it's a nightmare keeping things view tidy when have kids. A analogy I heard recently was cleaning a house with children in it, is like cleaning your teeth whilst eating a chocolate bar.

    My Mum who just sold her house for top dollar says kitchens and bathrooms.

    Estate agents say the little things but no major jobs...
