A second thread to keep up with all the improvements going on.

Thank you to everyone from the first thread who helped, I've just emailed the following photos to the estate agents to replace the terrible EA ones

Doing the maths, the current floor plan of the master and 3rd bedrooms are 21.8m squared combined, with 2 windows. 16m square master, and 5.8m square nursery. Plus a bit of corridor.

The easiest fix might be just rejigging the internal walls so that the two windows at the front are shared between the two rooms and the entrances rearranged. Not saying you have to do this OP - but something that could be suggested to buyers?

Looks much better and I'm glad you're now getting viewings (read most of your intial thread but can't remember if I commented)

However

• tour still shows old conservatory floor/layout
• coffee table is still in front of fire (raises question - does fire not work?)
• I would still feel deceived as a buyer if I went to view as a 3-bed house and saw the room you're describing as a third bedroom. This would make me disinclined to go further as I would wonder what else you were not being straight about. Sorry.

I would use the photos of the kitchen from the original listing. It looks quite modern in the originals, I don't think the agent has taken great photos.

Much better, @StylishMummy

Conservatory looks a million times better.
Front room as dining room is great.

As a habitual online house browser, I’d suggest:

-Remove Virtual Tour, it’s doing you no favours.
-New photo of sitting room without coffee table in front of the fire.
-New photo of bedroom with duvet smoothed properly and blinds open.
-New photos of garden/decking without all the clutter.
-As nice a photo as possible of the missing rooms (utility and 3rd bedroom).
-Photos with ALL blinds open. Closed blinds = something to hide.

If you do all that and it still isn’t selling, you really are going to have to consider marketing it as a 2 bed plus dressing room.

Good luck! Getting there now!

By the way OP - full full marks for coming back!

There was a similar thread a while ago where the lady in question didn't like the (much gentler) comments she received (v old fashioned house).

She came back after being told that her house was really rather dated to claim that a buyer had arrived THAT MINUTE, and offered FULL ASKING (all within two hours of asking why her house was hanging around on the market and being told relatively nicely that it was expensive for the area and outdated). Then flounced out of the thread after making up some more answers.

Good luck OP. I agree with PP that the listing still isn't great and the photos could still be improved (less clutter, bed made properly, photographs of missing rooms, move coffee table (is same coffee table in living room and conservatory?)). A good photographer should be asking you to do this when they are working anyway. Are you sure you don't want to try a better estate agent?

If the estate agents do take more photos it might be worth another one of the master bed room with a new/ un-patterned duvet.

I agree your EA needs to work harder for you, new photos, better angles, living room with the table removed, new or no virtual tour. You have worked so hard s/he has to step up.

You’ve inspired me to spruce my home up, I’m not selling but a bit of a refresh won’t go amiss.

Well done it looks so much better! Especially the conservatory

You need a new agent. Yours are not doing your property justice. You’ve done a great job improving and getting it ready

UPDATE

so we've had an offer but the buyers aren't 'proceedable', so still on the market, still doing works to improve the place and have added photos of the 3rd room

Fingers crossed we get an offer to go ASAP

Congrats on the offer! Have you found a new house to move into yet?

That's amazing! Well done OP!

Congratulations!

Whoop whoop! 👍👍👍😁

Brilliant!! Fingers crossed for you 😁

well done op! Your house is transformed - I thought it was a waste to make changes without doing the front but the internal stuff has made a big difference. New pic of master bedroom is sooo much better.

I wouldn't have been to look at it before but I would now. Good job OP.

Good luck, offer is encouraging even if not immediately proceedable, hope you get it sold soon after all your hard work.

How's it going now? Any offers?

Sold STC - well done OP!

Have you found somewhere to buy?
