it is never a "just" job
This. Move all your shit out of the room or into another room. Cover stuff, mask. Lose a room for at least a couple of days (massive pain in the arse if you live in a small flat/have kid(s)/partner is pregnant. Get paint, brushes and rollers. Find a block of time to be able to do the work. Get stressed out when it is not as near as you would like. Argue with you partner cos they fired emulsion onto the skirting board. Clean up. Store the brushes, rollers and trays.
Massive ball ache. And it's not like getting someone in removes all of that. You'll still have a lot of the inconvenience but with the added stress of a stranger in your gaff.
@cornelius_blackfoot I'm with you. Unless someone can say "our experience shows that a fresh coat of paint nets you an additional x%", it's just some shiny suited, failed salesperson's opinion. If a buyer is a flaky enough weapon to lowball you because of paint, how are they going to be during the rest of the sale?

Did no one watch TV in the 00's or something?
Orange and yellow for bedrooms would definitely not be my thing nor would a kitchen that was painted 10 years ago.
Also what is all this "just repaint it you lazy cunts stuff"? Has anyone actually done any painting recently? It's not technical and with some patience most people can do a half decent job, but it is never a "just" job.
