Open Some Windows
Consider opening some windows for a couple of hours before a viewing. If it's a hot stuffy day, the leave them open, if it's cold then close them. In either case, this should help to give the property a nice fresh feeling when sellers come to view.
Modernise dated fittings.

Nasty wallpaper can be covered with a lick of paint, cupboard doors and tiles can also be painted over, and door handles are easily replaced. hoghton property hunters will mainly prefer a "blank canvas" to a scheme that sticks out as being dated.
