Estate agent's blurb for my flat is dreadful. What to do?

Right, I need your advice. We're putting our flat on the market and the estate agent has sent through the marketing copy for our approval and it's dreadful. The punctuation is frightful and it's full of real estate agent garbage. I give you:

'The provided photographs and floor plan will give you a better indication as to the size and layout of the property however, in brief accommodation extends to; well maintained communal entrance hall and stairway accessed by security door system.'

'Two bedrooms, both double in size. The master of which provides lovely open views similar to those available from the lounge and both bedrooms have hardwood flooring under-foot.'

And so it goes on. But the question is, what do I do? I think they're really expecting me to just get back with any factual inaccuracies, rather than copy-editing the whole thing. Do you think they'd be offended if I re-wrote all their mangled prose? They would, wouldn't they?

Argh.

I would be inclined to re-write if it's just copy you're unhappy with.

My flat is in a "sort-after" street (but luckily it says sought after on my details)
