If you're wondering whether its worth re-decorating before putting your home on the market you might be interested to read an article on our blog by Interior Designer Savita Kalia. Savita thinks that decoration and home staging are paramount for creating a great first impression and getting buyers interested:

yeah re-decorating can also help in you house selling,buyers tend to buy a house that is much cleaner and presentable than other houses..

Re-decoration increase the rate off a home. Installing great lighting and flooring or redecorating help with a valuation and encourage viewings. However, you do only what you can afford, as these changes won’t be deal makers.

When people say "redecorate" they don't mean go mad and try to win an award. Basically, redecorating to sell a house means slapping on a coat of boring, light-coloured emulsion on the walls, tidying up any cracks in the walls or ceilings and a quick coat of white gloss on the paintwork. If necessary, get some cheap £10 curtains off ebay and if you need to some bottom of the range carpets from a discount store. Don't try to be original, or avant-garde, it's a waste of time and nobody will appreciate the effort.
The goal is to give potential buyers one less thing to complain about.

Yes you are really just freshening things up. Wash down window sills and frames, wipe dirty marks off walls, give a quick coat of emulsion if needed, tidy up clutter.
