We are glad to be able to help Bananz. I think it's great that your dad will be able to be near you.
As for when to get the EA round, if you are going to do a de-clutter and clear the garden a bit, do those things first. Believe me, the EA will only need a couple of days notice to come to do a valuation anyway. It will take the pressure off a bit if you want to do them, without worry that the EA will undervalue it.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

You would suprised many people buy properties and like to make their own mark by gutting the whole property, so there is no point spending money to re-decorate especially if your in Glasgow. Sell at the right price as it is.0

I think an auction may be a good route to take. The top bidder is committed to buy and complete in a few weeks.
The risk of selling through an agent is that buyers can pull out when they receive the survey. Seeing a long list of issues can make people change their minds even though they may well have noticed them when they viewed the house. Things can seem very different when the initial excitement and viewing through rose tinted glasses have faded.0
