and we should lower the price, it has been on the market for nearly a year. Can anyone make suggestions how we can tart it up a bit to get it sold?

If it's overpriced all the tarting up in the world won't get it sold surely?

It depends on how much you want to move, how much your mortgage is, how much you would need to achieve for the next house.

I think the stone lions could do with a bit of scrub tbh and you have a bulb out in one of the chandeliers - just shoddy dahlink.
Maybe a little accent colour in the master bedroom - pink fluffy cushions?
Also could you arrange some sunshine for better outdoor shots?

It's like a shrine to bad taste. It's quite taken my breath away. Like a hideous hotel somewhere on the M4 but with added nouveau riche.

The statue in the garden could do with a once over. Otherwise the estate agent is BU. Bargain that is.

I think maybe a coat of paint, if you could afford it.

Your mates house is 2.5 million cheaper, and much nicer.. it even has its own pub!

Sorry is your link to the 8 bed house? Then I think an entire renovation will be what it takes to sell. Try to titivate the kitchen first.

Hmm looks rather cold to me so I would put some carpets down, get central heating, double glazing and also get rid of the pond and the garden could do with a tidy up. Hope that helps. Grin

According to my sources, it was listed today.
Property bee is a lovely little application, you should take a look using firefox with this app installed. That or the agents are cheeky fuckers and disguising the fact that it's been on for so long by relisting it daily.

What can I say, the flat screen tv looks too small on the wall.
That Lion with it's arse in the air is most peculiar too

Your mates house is nicer, although it doesn't have a pink front door and the garden gnomes seems to missing.

the agents are cheeky fuckers - you can do a mn's search on this one as I asked about a year ago what I could do to make the photos better as I was never happy with them...

Your mates house is 2.5 million cheaper, yeah but it has large puddles in the garden - I ask you puddles so large they need a rowing boat to get across them
