Worst Estate Agent photos/details

[greentown]

Having spent literally months of my life trawling Zoopla, Rightmove and all the other property sites, I thought it was about time I publicised the work of some of London's finest estate agents - who obviously haven't yet worked out the point of the internet - and manage to advertise houses with an ineptitude which both baffles and astounds in equal measure.
Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression and punters are paying 1%-3% of the selling price for these "adverts".

So here's a few of my recent 'favourites' - would love to see yours too!

Is there a charge for extra pictures?

A cracking HOUSE for £225k in Shepherds Bush!

Is it possible to say any LESS about this one?

This one comes with its own shopping centre:

These are only the tip of the iceberg and not a patch on some of the ones I've seen - I'll add them as I see them if anybody's interested.

Perhaps you need the trampoline to get to see the sea views?

It is very funny but completely unnecessary. Our estate agent came with the photographer and moved things like DD's kitchen and highchair so they wouldn't be in the photographs. Used a wide angled lens and our house looked much bigger than it is - almost wanted to stay it looked so nice!

My favourite was when I called the estate agent to view a house and she asked my DP's occupation and salary as the sellers 'only wanted to sell to the right class of people'. No mention of my occupation or salary and I have always wondered what was the 'right class of people'. It was a two bed cottage FFS!

I put the phone down at that.

In the estate agents defence she did do 1471 and apologise as they were 'difficult' clients.

Nice clutter-free lounge

Brown suite & carpet anyone [boak]

Forgot to say as well: what's with the swimming pool in a polytunnel?!

I have to add this house here

I think this house has been on the market for about 2 years with about 20 agents - no one can shift it!!! And it is so ridiculously overpriced!!! Loving the carpet...

Good grief smarmy that really is overpriced. Ha ha, some vendors are just so greedy aren't they??!!

Loving this! Bit disappointed tho, as I read some other the other listing from Grockle's estate agent, and they're not half so funny. very very descriptive tho!

loove this bit from smarmy's post
"PLEASE NOTE
Due to the extremely large garage the garden is small but could be made much larger if part of the garage was demolished."
Half a million and you have to demolsih the garage to get a decent garden?
Blimey

If you're into trains, this is the house for you (see pic 4):

I have no words.

Ahhh, I don't know if it is just Haart in Walthamstow that do this, but it cracked me up every time I looked at their properties...

See personally, I would have used the zoom to focus on positive features rather than a mug of tea and the remote

PMSL Lynette even the outside of that house is vile.

IThere is not one tasteful feature!

And at the price!

In which parallel universe is that house in Golders Green worth six million quid??!! Could they not have spent some of the equity on new window dressings? Did they have to use grandma's old knickers???

Lynette - £6000000...and they photographed the beds... with no sheets on

Good

Grief

(also my link does not work - pout)

"Grandmas old knickers.."

Any of Roy Brooks descriptions are worth looking at - www.roybrooks.co.uk/results.asp

Ha! Reminds me of the estate agent who went on about our selling-point laminate in the back bedroom (!) and completely ignored the original fireplace and sash windows... I know it's about target audience but...

I know. Let's arrange for your house to be burgled and ^then take the photos!:

what a bloody tip

ahhh this thread reminded me of a house i saw a while ago whilst hunting on rightmove

it's gone down by a whopping £500 since I last looked... ok it doesn't look too bad... until you get to the last pic
here

v. cheap tho!
