Painting a house before selling
Selling work is judged by a camera and a three-minute walkthrough, so it goes where the eye lands: the entry, the main living area, the hallway and the front door. The trap is patchwork. A quick fill and paint over a scuff photographs as a visible patch under a wide lens, so repairs get sealed and the whole wall is coated rather than spot-touched. Neutral low sheen reads best in listing photos and does not date the room. Timelines are the other half of it, since a campaign date does not move.

Our pre-sale painting process
- 01
Start where the eye lands
The entry, main living area, hallway and front door carry the listing photos and the three-minute walkthrough, so that is where the budget goes.
- 02
Coat whole walls
A spot-touched scuff photographs as a visible patch under a wide lens. Repairs are sealed and the whole wall is coated rather than dabbed.
- 03
Work back from the campaign date
A campaign date does not move, so the sequence is set backwards from it and the rooms being photographed are finished first.
Pre-sale painting questions
- How much value does pre-sale painting add?
- Industry data and our experience suggest a well-executed pre-sale repaint can add two to five times the cost of the work to the final sale price. It is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make.
- How fast can you complete a pre-sale repaint?
- A typical three-bedroom home can be completed in five to seven working days. We can work around open-for-inspection schedules and settlement timelines.
- What colours should I use for a pre-sale repaint?
- Neutral, light tones work best. We typically recommend Dulux White on White, Natural White or similar soft neutrals that make spaces feel bright, clean and spacious.
