Hello,

Moving house in a few weeks. Do people generally fill holes from pictures, TV in wall, mirrors etc?

Or do you leave the fixing in place and ride off into the sunset.

We don’t have the paint for every room. So can’t paint over all of the holes we fill if that’s the consensus.

What has everyone else done?

Leave them in it is.

What if a downlighter bulb has blown. Would you replace or leave?

The house is like new. SWMBO is still doing touch ups with the paint we have. We won’t be getting the carpet professionally cleaned - that’s an expense and a job we could do without.

I can’t see us ever going into a house and not fully redecorating and getting new carpets. That’s how you get your own smell in it. So with that in mind I’m not sure we should be putting so much effort in. But I guess people are different and the new owner may not think like that.

The people we bought the house we are selling from left us a picture on the wall. I thought that’s nice, not my type of thing but a nice gesture. Removed it and there was a massive hole where they had clearly tried to put the TV once upon a time. We then found 100s of holes etc where they had wired their surround sound etc.
