The flat is already agreed to be let to someone!
They only put it online on Tuesday (photos taken Monday and today is Thursday).
Last Thursday we were still painting and cleaning.
After all that mad rushing around and the non stop work to get it ready we are very pleased.
We have had it for 5 years and it hasn't earned a penny in that time as we were letting to our kids who only really paid for any maintenance to be carried out and the council tax and then in the last 6 months DD was unemployed and the council wouldn't allow her any housing benefit due to it being her parents owning the flat and letting her live there rather than throw her out and rent it out .
They did work it hard and I think that has opened our eyes to the sort of treatment it could face while it is rented out.
A lot of ideas we originally had for making it beautiful were rethought after the kids had finished with it.
We had been going to replace large items with nicer ones but now we will wait till they need to be replaced rather than naively rushing to the shops.
