difficulty selling our house because we are so overlooked

[ajuba]

we are overlooked in the back garden by two buildings. Its really putting off buyers! don't know what to do. there's not much we can do about one building apart from putting up higher fences. With the other one we can block it out with trees but they will take ages to grow.Will these measures actually make a difference though?

Fwiw. Whenever I have sold a home, I have made sure I was out for all viewings.

It means I didnt have to overhear any negative comments re house or my taste in furniture etc. plus buyers get the chance to imagine the house as it would be if they bought it.

As a buyer it's hard to look around properly with the vendor hovering and wanting to point out features of house / area. So much easier if vendors are out. That way you can take the space in properly.
