People expect us to want the unusual thing gone. We've worked in with a motorbike on the wall, a guitar, and a penny farthing.
The dated stuff is easier to fix than people think. Sponge-textured walls from the nineties take a light colour straight over the top, and the texture is fine to leave, because limewash walls are back. It's cost effective and it covers marks and errors at the same time.
Which is the useful distinction to make before you spend anything. A colour on a wall is a weekend. The things that actually need money are structural, and there are usually fewer of them than a seller expects walking through their own home.
