Weird feedback on your house

I fully renovated my house last year.
It's on the market now, viewer feedback 'needs to much work doing' Hmm
It's done to a good standard, it's had:
New kitchen inc warranties on all new inter grated appliances/electrics/RCD/boiler/rads/bathroom/decorated all clean neutral with some pops of colour.
It's a lovely family home, I came into better financial stability so I had the work done for me but decided I needed to move ( cheaper than raising the roof for a loft conversion as need an extra bedroom and already extended to side )
All big major works are done.
My EA is also banging her head on the desk, she tried to ask more in depth what work viewer felt needed doing but got 'it's not for them' and put the phone down.
Make me giggle please, I've spent 2 days cleaning Around kids/work now sat eating a family size bar of dairy milk as I've burnt of the calories with the hoovering and polishing windows alone Grin
I think she's feedback on the wrong house!

Sometimes though you really want to love a house and think you could compromise on something that’s not quite right but when you view it you decide you can’t.
For us it was downstairs bathrooms. We viewed two with these, wanted to be able to accept it, but just couldn’t. We weren’t time wasting, we really tried, but we weren’t going to buy a house we didn’t want just to keep the EA happy.

We offered on a house last week. Full asking price. Offer accepted. 3 days later they accepted an offer of £1k more. We'd already instructed solicitors. I was gutted.

We sold ours, literally the day after the ea called me trying to persuade us to let someone else come round, telling me we'd get another £5k as he was prepared to pay more. We said no. I'm not doing that to someone.

I actually had someone who didn't like how the ley lines ran through the house, and was not ashamed to say so.

not sorry she didn't offer, imagine dealing with someone like that!

We got feedback that our house had "too many bathrooms".

We're not selling but renovating an old Victorian property that was a wreck.

We had an EA out on one of their 'free valuation' promotions to give an idea of value and gauge whether a loft conversion might be a good idea.

The EA advised us to get rid of the 'old fashioned, out-dated' radiators and replace the original open fire with a modern wood burner.

These would be the brand new, replica cast iron radiators that cost us about £700 each and we deliberately and lovingly chosen to fit the style of the house, and the original open fire that has beautiful, pristine arts and crafts surround/tiles. Idiot.

My friend had a viewer who apparently loved the house but rejected it because they didnt like her light switches . Hmm
