We are renovating a house and I want to dress it for the sale process in the hope of achieving a higher price and a quick sale. My partner says it's a waste of money and that we won't get any more for it or sell it any quicker. How can i persuade him that I am right...or am I wrong?

HI Ladysix

you are right and your husband is wrong, according to all the tv shows and magazine articles on this subject it really is the right thing to do, they say clutter free carefully placed accessories fresh flowers etc are all great tips, if you want to save money on fresh flowers for weekly viewings I saw some that are 100% realistic on a website recently they also had great accessories www.thelavenderbarn.co.uk or you could go to Laura Ashley for some great vases or pictures, as long as they are all things you can take with you when you move, the shows even recommend hiding all your persoanl bits and peices to make the house more showhome looking and less personal. It would be hard to do I think as it would be like a showhome, but if it makes you the pennies then a job well done !
good Luck with your move Sarah x
