We don't always see eye to eye, but I think you got a bit of a rough ride on that (and some leg-pulling)

Having spent awhile in the property business, if you're doing it to sell - keep it simple - put in the "essentials", insulate, (heating etc - in a town that'll be gas, perhaps add a simple solar dhw to that), magnolia and white throughout, nice floors, "shaker" kitchen (relatively cheap if done by local craftsman, and deeply trendy) - job done!
