House not selling (with listing)

I'm not sure you can say it has two parking spaces. I mean technically you can park on the gravel, but it's not what i would call a space. I'm assuming the space in front of the garage is the neighbours?

Definitely this. I wasn't sure which room was which and the photos don't have captions. The only thing g I can comment on that can't be changed is that would always prefer the utility to open to outdoors, rather than having to go through the house. What about wet coats/boots/dogs?

Are the neighbours an issue in anyway ? I have seen neighbours put off house buyers. Either odd, very messy, or aggressive to viewers (they want the property themselves at a low price).

I can see both bathrooms, one has a bath and one does not.

Why do people dislike corner houses out of interest? I find that quite appealing.

I wonder if it is just a little expensive for the square footage, plus has a north facing garden. It's really a 3 bed house that's been extended to make it a 4 bed, but downstairs is really small, relative to other similarly priced properties. The snug also looks like a conservatory because of the ceiling.

I think the inside is fine, and I really like the kitchen. The outside puts me off.

The front looks very bare and I would put out some pots there with something colourful in, though I suppose that might stop prevent parking on the gravel. The back just looks very unloved.

I think the four beds are upstairs, the office is down.

It is on a corner which will put some people off.

The bedrooms do look as if there is nowhere to store clothes. It is very grey in some rooms. I dislike the wood panelling on the ceiling in the snug room.

I think the photos are a bit poor. No picture of the hall, stairs. Or the second bathroom. And as per the usual with estate agents, do the pictures reflect the actual size of the room ?

I know a few have said they don't like the fireplace but I really like it

I think it’s really nice overall. It needs a declutter and the exteriors need some attention, nothing major imo. If I was looking in that area it’d go on my list.

The parking does need spelling out though.

What has been your problem, no viewings or no offers?

What a gorgeous house. Its fine. Since you asked id do the following. Get the cages out of the pics ( you can put back after), put a single bed in the office to show its 4 bed. Few pots outside for kerb appeal. Its beautiful.

Love your kitchen/snug room. Dislike your lounge fireplace. Your garden looks like it needs a lot of work and has been neglected compared to the inside of your house.
As an aside - I love your green bedroom! Where is that wallpaper from please?

eta I would always prefer 2 bathrooms rather than an en-suite

Well im no help i love it but unfortunately I don't have £375k

I really hate the windows and that would put me right off from the getgo. Upstairs is also odd that there are 2 bathrooms and no ensuite. The bedrooms look tiny so that'd also put me off. It's probably the price as I feel there's quite a lot of things I'd need to change

Beds are to big for rooms make the rooms look small possibly some plain neutral bedding might make them blend in a bit more

fireplace dreadful clad end bits where the tv is and other end with mdf and paint same colour as walls again to make it blend in
You might get away with painting fire place same colour as wall
suite is pensioner friendly it clashes you gone for modern floors and walls and 90’s sofa
At best some throws

apologies if that’s harsh

I don't know the area so nonidea if priced right.

Remove all signs of animals
Bedrooms look very small other than master.
Photo 12 needs replacing - it looks like there's no space.
The office photo looks like the room is much large than the bedrooms, even when visualising a bed in it (yet they are broadly similar on floor plan).
Add the floor plan to the pictures rather than seperately below.
Parking - ask agent needed to be changed - it ususlly means permit or not strsightforward.

That said, none of them couldn'y be overlooked if people were interested so most likely the price.

I think the picture of the front of the house isn’t great. Looks a bit messy. I’d ask for pictures from a better angle, showing the drive and garage. Could you paint that fence panel at the front and try to freshen the front up a bit? Some hanging baskets perhaps? How old are the windows?

I wouldn’t have the front as the first picture. I’d have the kitchen. Some better pics of the kitchen are needed.

I’d also remove a lot of the stuff in the picture with the rabbit hutch. The beanbag and the sofa is too big for the space. Get rid of the clutter.

The rear garden pics are a bit sad. Cut the grass and try to tidy it up a bit and different angles.

So much clutter - it looks like a lovely family home but to sell you need to maximise the sense of space. Rent some storage and remove at least 50% of stuff, try and ‘stage’ it more. The bedrooms in particular look really cramped. Hide the pet cage somewhere for viewings and get all your photos redone. Consider repainting the feature wall in the living room - the blue is nice in the kitchen but a neutral colour would work better for the living room.
I’d also tidy up the garden and shove some plants in, and repaint the front door a different colour, red is quite dated.

A bit of decluttering & new photos will do wonders. Put a bed in that room with boxes.

ChatGPT can be really helpful for this, I just asked it and the suggestions were to paint the front door and fencing, jet wash drive, add some pots and window boxes. Pic attached. Think it got a bit carried away with the fencing though 🤣
Just a freshen up of the outside can really help. good luck!

It’s a nice house with decent layout and the price wouldn’t be historically unreasonable… but the market is really bad right now.
The bedrooms are small for a four bed. That may put people off.
Decor always needs changing when you move, the main expenses of bathrooms and kitchen look decent in the pictures. Little tweaks like tidying kids rooms won’t be what’s stopping this selling.
The listing details aren’t great, make it clear where cars can park and what charges you might face.

So are you getting viewings or no? If there are no offers then something isn’t meeting expectations. Probably the size of the bedrooms.
Also, what else is on sale in your area? That’s your issue.

Definitely make the garden stand out more.
The room with the weights needs a purpose.
Highlight the parking spaces.
Other than that you have a lovely home.

How's the price for your area?
I'm just selling my parents' place - much older house and needs some work, slightly smaller - one less downstairs room for £295,000. £375,00 seems a lot.

What feedback are the agent giving you from any viewers - other than the standard "drop the price"?

I think some of the photos look great, but others could be improved - especially the utility room - defo remove clutter on top of cupboards, and take washing out of machine!

Agree with other posters re: removing the animals from sun room, defining the study better, and better pictures of bedrooms to show space for bedside tables, wardrobes, etc.

Definitely try to make the most of kerb appeal, even a hanging basket with artificial flowers would help! This would also help with the back garden too.

Another thing i will.suggest, having viewed a few houses recently myself, make sure the pictures reflect the reality! I.e. the pictures suggest that the house is well finished kn terms of decor and immaculately clean. If this turns out to NOT be quite the case when viewers come, they will be put off and underwhelmed! You want the photos to look great to encourage them to visit and then the reality to deliver even more than they expected.

Think beyond just "clean" and get a trusted friend to cast a critical eye around for tired woodwork, scuffed paintwork, badly edged flooring, grimy inner window frames, poor seals/grouting in bathrooms/kitchen, musty or animal smells etc and tackle those. They really should be quick and cheap to do!

I don’t know the area and there is nothing obvious that I can see. If you aren’t getting viewings it will be the price.

If I were a potential buyer the only thing that would put me off would be the brown windows but most of the other houses have the same so thats down to the style of the house/house builder.

Perhaps spend a little time making the outside look nice - it looks a little neglected and doesn’t match the inside.

The animal cage may be putting people off - whenever we move house all pets are banished 😛 Get the estate agent to remove that photo.

The photo of the weights needs to go too.
