Nobody paints one square metre of a wall for fun.
If the decorating stops halfway up a corner, there's usually a reason it stopped exactly there. Nine times out of ten it's a damp patch, an old leak, a crack that's been filled, or mould that's been wiped down and covered. The paint doesn't fix any of that. It just buys a few weeks.
To be fair, most sellers aren't hiding anything. But a 20-minute viewing isn't where you find out which is which, no ladder, no damp meter, no idea what the wall looked like last winter.
That's the job. We look behind the wallpaper so you don't find out in February.
