My parents REALLY need to sell their house - I have photos

[Katymac]

I've uploaded all the photos onto my profile

They live is a largish Norfolk Village/smallish town (Post office, small supermarket, Fish & chip shop, 2 pubs, 2 churches, Good Junior & High School)

I think the bathroom is a bit of a problem (only a shower) & the layout is a bit odd

Any suggestions to make it more saleable?

It is (I think) a half-decker - sailing dinghy (ish) I'll find out & PM you

It is def a broads boat so that might make it unsuitable for you

Well - I am not really thick, honest. I have looked at the photos again and of course it is a bloody sail boat (one G&T down ....). We are thinking of buying a boat for sailing around the coast and on the broads, clearly I am completely clueless about these things but you never know it could be what he is after.

I could tell you about the sailing 'lessons' DH has given me at times but that could lead to me re-living it and filing for divorce .

I 'taught' DD who was a natural sailor until there was a minor incident & she had a panic & I never got her out on a boat again

DH hates it with a vengence - my dad took him & he ended up rowing for miles & got blisters & said never again

We did it quite a bit when we lived abroad. Trouble is that sailing terms are like a different language to the uninitiated. By the next time DH told me to wind the X in I had usually long forgotten what the X was.

He lived on a catamaran for a while, really experienced sailor. When we first went sailing in 2005 I had only ever been on corporate jollies on boats, drinking and eating and 'sailing' under instruction. I plan on doing a 'proper' course with DD (now 9) who is keen. Maybe marital harmony will be restored!

I live in Norfolk and want to move house.l.let me see!

Can you PM me?

It looks really nice inside, the picture of the front of the house looks odd though, and I think it's the angle it's taken from. For example, it looks like it doesn't have big enough windows but you can tell from the inside that it's lovely and light so that can't be right. Also the porch doesn't blend really well with the rest of the house but the angle of that photo makes a feature of it. A better one would be from the front, maybe showing the front garden and neighbouring houses a bit (as long as they're not off-putting in any way). If that's the front picture that comes up on Rightmove, it may be a case of people not clicking on.

We're just finishing doing up our house in Norfolk and looking around for somewhere to move to next. Norfolk IS strange in places. You see the same properties with nothing wrong with them, fairly priced, just not shifting. Other places they sell really quickly. Our neighbours' house went on the market last Friday. It has already sold. It's nothing special at all. The neighbour on the other side took 11 months to sell. No particular reason.

Thanks- I'll see if I cantake some other photos thatare any better

Have you added any photos of the nearby broads ? Breathtaking views and nature spots Round the corner would be a huge selling point for me.
