So, fair enough, some people might want to see a photo of a door handle or tap Confused when browsing the internet for a new house. Example

But can anyone explain photo 13 of this one:

I know Estate Agents have to portray a certain lifestyle, but really? Really?!

You could get a four bed for that here (Manchester), and it's not the worst area in the world, though the house would probably be a fixer upper.

The house in the OP is absolutely stunning, but ruined by dreadful suburban furnishings.

Buzzardbird · 14/02/2013 09:58

You all really need to click on Primafacie 's link. Can't believe I scrolled past that one!

Primafacie, OH NO that looks very similar to my house (it isnt though). Does that mean i have very poor taste!!! I am mortified. Right, off to john lewis !

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 14/02/2013 10:12

LOLz at the occitane

that first house is MINGING but bloody hell, a bargain!!! I am from London where £149K might just get you a one bed studio, sans end of tenancy clean....

landrover · 14/02/2013 10:14

fromparistoberlin · 14/02/2013 10:14

Tee2072 · 14/02/2013 10:15

Y'all need to move to NI. 4 bed houses are about that price and in good locations.

Still more than I can afford, though.

Would love too ring the estate agent and ask if the soap come free with the house of if they will be charging extra for it.

Xiaoxiong · 14/02/2013 10:22

at prima's photo - 4 bed fixer-upper, surfaces will need a deep clean Grin

Bertrude · 14/02/2013 10:29

I have that soap in my guest bathroom. Nicked it from a hotel.

LOL! at Prima's pic.

I saw it last night, I thought it was the varnish missing from the back of the dining chair in the front of the pic. Didn't see naked mirror man

socharlottet · 14/02/2013 14:27

Where is Stanley?

what a coincidence.Drove past the A1 turnoff for Stanley this morning, never having heard of it before!!

ChairmanWow · 14/02/2013 14:32

For some reason the estate agent thought it would give our house the wow factor by including a photo of our cat sitting on the bed glaring at him. Despite repeated requests to remove the photo every time we checked there she still was, looking evil No wonder it took 8 months to sell...

slatternlymother · 14/02/2013 15:09

Oh noooo! I can't see Prima's pic! I'm at work and it keeps getting blocked! gah!

I am often having a nosey on RM and I think, why don't these people at least splash a bit of paint about and have a tidy up?! Don't they want to sell? Angry

Primafacie · 14/02/2013 19:58

landrover lol at "I've got that mirror too"! You sure that is not DH in the mirror? :)

claudedebussy · 14/02/2013 20:08

juneybean · 14/02/2013 20:19

Haha at Prima's picture, I didn't even notice the man!! It's like the predecessor to that ebay thing.
