What are the most cost-effective exterior updates to improve curb appeal for a quick sale?

We are listing our house next month and the inside is in great shape, but the outside looks a little tired. The front door is faded, the landscaping is overgrown, and the vinyl siding could probably use a good power wash. We don't have a huge budget left for major exterior renovations like a new roof or fresh siding. What small outdoor projects do buyers actually notice when they first pull up to a property?

Sellers didn't disclose water/drainage issues, can we hold them responsible?

We closed on our Victorian home three months ago, but during a heavy storm, we discovered a significant drainage issue that causes the basement to flood—something the sellers explicitly denied on the disclosure. Since the inspection didn't catch it because it was a dry week, do we have any legal recourse against the sellers for non-disclosure, or is this officially our 'money pit' now?

What can I do?

When I brought my home in 2001, it was fenced with the adjacent lot. The previous owners had purchased both lots and presented the sale as one big lot. However, the city put an adverse possession on it and is trying to sell the second lot even though it’s still fenced with our land. What can I do? Is this legal?

What can we do to get our land back?

So I brought a home in 2001 and when I did, I was under the impression that the lot beside us was with our land (the previous owners, owned both lots and had the entire yard enclosed with a fence). However, the city has put an adverse possession on it and claims it never belonged to us. We have the deed that shows that’s the land was owned together but our deed only shows one of the two lots (the were seemingly combined). Is this legal?
