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?

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

That’s why you are called Grumpsy 😜. I think it’s a hilarious advert but not sure about the house! Love the fact the kids are in it too. She must be fun mum!

Why’s no one mentioned the giant mice?!

That's what I thought this was about to begin with!

Batshit

Probably true.

but the house is on a main road, so all of the traffic would be horrendous, and is full of beams - personally I hate low ceiling cottages with beams. (Personal preference)

plus the video reeks of desperation as a last ditch attempt to sell the thing.

Absolutely brilliant.....I want more rightmove musicals 🤣🤣🤣🤣

HamstersAreMyLife · 24/03/2023 07:38

Hate the house but loved the video. I assume it's the owner

TheClash2023 · 24/03/2023 07:38

She can hold a tune. What a great idea for a hard to sell house

LadyHaHaHeeHaw · 24/03/2023 07:40

I think it's funny and done it's job but come on , make the bloody beds up properly, take the TV off the window cill straighten up the candles and put the washing line down
Sloppy when you look past the gimmick

CantFindTheBeat · 24/03/2023 07:41

I can't see any that odd - where is the video?

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 24/03/2023 07:41

Haha thank you so much for this! Literally crying laughing!

Found it, thanks OP!

That's brilliant - really made me smile 😃

BrioNotBiro · 24/03/2023 07:48

The body hiding under the covers and the wooden battens holding the telly up were my particular highlights!

Thisismeyeah · 24/03/2023 07:51

Well it is working and getting more views than it would have before. Stupid though.

Jellytotsburnmytongue · 24/03/2023 07:51

Well I never expected that 😂 I'll have that tune stuck in my head all day now.

ChessieFL · 24/03/2023 07:55

That’s hilarious! But WTF are the giant mice all about?!

Wheneversequencer · 24/03/2023 08:09

OMG does the house come with the awful singer?? Immediately put me off 😂

riskybiznisses · 24/03/2023 08:23

brilliant I love it :)

MistyGreenAndBlue · 24/03/2023 08:33

It's an awful house and as a PP pointed out, she could have at least tidied up and made the damn beds

But it WAS pretty funny 😁

KimberleyClark · 24/03/2023 08:38

It’s on a really busy main road. You wouldn’t realise that just from the photos but the video makes it obvious.

Anyotherdude · 24/03/2023 08:40

Love it! And the person singing can hold a tune nicely - I’m sure that it will sell because of, not in spite of, the video - great marketing (but can only be done once!)

GU24Mum · 24/03/2023 08:41

And what exactly were the "stranger things" that had gone on in one of the rooms?!

mrsbitaly · 24/03/2023 08:45

Lol that's hilarious I've never seen this done before

wantmorenow · 24/03/2023 08:46

I fucking love this! My house on market at the moment and we have had zero viewings. This is where my agents are going wrong. I need to tell hem to up to up game now!
