Someone Died In That House

I think vendors should make more of an effort to disguise houses which have come onto the market due to the death of the previous occupant.

That means throwing out that old armchair with the pointy upper corners. Dumping the age old cooker with stains from the seventies. Trashing the carpet with a pattern so loud the neighbours bang on the wall demanding for it to be turned down. And tidying up the overgrown garden.

And while you're at it, knock twenty grand off the asking price too, as it's going to take at least that much to make it inhabitable for twenty first centurians.
