This is a ovely house - but the video ! I'm intrigued as to why the sellers agreed to the estate agent doing a video like this. Or am I behind the times and this makes the house more memorable?

DustyLee123 · 24/03/2023 07:05

That’s just awful 🤣

There’s already 2 posts on this here, can see it being shown on TV later.

Blanketunderstars · 24/03/2023 07:09

Ha ha that’s hilarious- do you think it’s the owner or estate agent singing?

Aprilx · 24/03/2023 07:10

Well it is a bit different. Unnecessary but also harmless.

Oh I didn't realise.

I guess it's all publicity! And it looks like a great house so I'm sure it will sell

@Blanketunderstars I assumed the Estate Agent. But maybe it is the owner.

I couldn't see what was wrong with the post...and then I watched the video.😄

I think it's a stroke of genius to be honest!

How many additional views of that house has that page as a consequence of the video?

It's driven traffic to the house, got people talking and sharing the page, clever.

whitebreadjamsandwich · 24/03/2023 07:16

It's the estate agent and this is not her first rodeo 😂

IncompleteSenten · 24/03/2023 07:17

It's a great way to get lots of views.
There's several threads on here about it and I'm sure in lots of other sites too.
It's a nice house and they're certainly going to get a lot of people looking at it!

Meandfour · 24/03/2023 07:18

Absolutely brilliant 😂 it’s very clever marketing; it’s all over the internet!

TheTeenageYears · 24/03/2023 07:19

It's got a heat pump and solar panels and yet is still an E rated EPC!

Grumpsy · 24/03/2023 07:20

I hate the house and couldn’t get more than 20 seconds in with the video.

PonyPatter44 · 24/03/2023 07:20

It is a cracking house, but it is literally right on the A5 (that's the road with the red bit in the first exterior view). I hope it's got good soundproofing!

Summerhillsquare · 24/03/2023 07:21

I love that house and now regretting my career choices/not being born rich.

Ilooklikesusiedent · 24/03/2023 07:24

I didn't ever think a video on Rightmove could be this bad.

😂 she looks like she'd be the most hilarious friend though!

EnjoyingTheSilence · 24/03/2023 07:24

Why’s no one mentioned the giant mice?!

EmmaGrundyForPM · 24/03/2023 07:24

I didn't realise there were other threads, so apologies. A friend who is househunting sent the link to me. I couldn't see what the issue was until she told me to watch the video.

I think people are right, it will drive a lot of traffic to the listing and might get a few serious viewers actually visiting. I think it's a potentially lovely house, so I'm sure someone will buy it.

How mortifying for the teenage girl in the video! What a terrible idea but I suppose it creates lots of chat!

PicaK · 24/03/2023 07:26

OMG.

Furrybutts · 24/03/2023 07:26

I love it!
As a regular Rightmove peruser I think it gives me a much better idea of the house than the usual videos.

Mitchumforthewin · 24/03/2023 07:28

It’s in an awful location. I know that road well, I’m quite local, and you couldn’t pay me £700k to live on it. It’s ugly, noisy and really fast. This is one of the reasons you have to see past the pretty pictures and check out where it’s located before you go to view anything! (Not watched the video btw, trying to be quiet and can’t find my headphones)

Harebrain · 24/03/2023 07:29

It’s dreadful but did make me laugh and is obviously having the desired effect. I was very much distracted by the cars whizzing past the front windows though. That would be a deal breaker for me.

IglesiasPiggl · 24/03/2023 07:30

From now on, I refuse to consider any house that doesn't have a musical video!
