    Does this include the cheapest paint? We're moving soon so I'm thinking a large tub of magnolia would prevent an argument on what "2.5 years of fair wear and tear" would be in regards to a deposit reduction for decorating...

    If you buy several sizes please make sure that they put them through the till as seperate transaction in lots of 3. I bought several tester pots and it deducted them as being the cheapest.
    Had to wait in the Q at customer service desk to put them through again as seperate transactions.

    Careful - if you repaint 'badly' this can also cause a deposit to be withheld. Talk to your landlord before you do anything... After 2.5 years, the landlord may hold the property off the market to repaint anyway, ours did and we got 100% deposit back as it was all just wear and tear (I lightly patched some picture hook holes and dents to hide them with a £2 tester pot of magnolia, else just cleaned it all very very well)
