    Dog and cigatette are the biggest offput - to me anyway - and folks with dogs just don't realise how much their houses stink. I do a lot of house calls for work and the last thing you need to hear is a barking dog combined with the door bell...

    OK, so you may not have a dog - but someone else reading this does...

    I don't like to see toothbrushes either. Or toilet seats up. Or air fresheners.

    Don't try too hard to sell the house, I have only had 2 houses but both felt right when I first walked in the door.


    Can I second that, having moved more times than I care to remember. Generally, people pretty much make up their mind whether to buy or not in the 10 seconds **before** going inside. I know it sounds daft, but it's what the experts say, and it's my experience.

    So, a nice window box or hanging basket of flowers, paint the front door, keep the front garden tidy.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
