Would It Be Worthwhile Spending On Sprucing Up A Rundown House Before Putting It On The Market?
As it is potential buyers might see it only as a project. Decorated, with cheap carpets fitted , the garden tídied, and maybe a new bathroom suite, potential buyers might see it as somewhere they could move into and then put their own stamp on it.

You don't want it to only interest developers and consequential low offers, but you need to be sure you can get back what you spend which means fixing basic obvious problems and making things neat & clear.
IMO. Carpets, bathroom suit, only if the existing are bad enough to put folk off. General decorating much the same although that can be done cheaper. Garden tidy, probably useful, especially at the front. First impressions and all that.

I think it depends on how run down it is, and I agree that asking a local agent is the best bet.
For example if it needs capital expenditure like a new heating system or roof, say, it will automatically fall into the category of a 'project' and there are plenty of people out there looking for such a project who will be completely non-plussed by minor cosmetic changes like redecoration. Such people will do the cosmetics themselves after major refurb work, at far less cost than than a seller of an Executor's property (say) could easily undertake. So there's no point in making the minor changes.
