This one gave me a giggle...

Estate agent description

'This exceptional family home must be viewed internally to be appreciated'

Slide the Rightmove photo...and photo 2 is.....🤔😂

Any other listing laughs?

It is in poor taste to laugh at someone's house that they are trying to sell.

BarryTheChopper · 26/02/2021 20:40

It’s not laughing at the house, it’s a lovely house.

It’s laughing at the photo of a toilet roll, surely?

SydneyPlace · 26/02/2021 20:40

OFGS, light hearted ....did you look at photo 2...lighten up.

Back to being glum at the end of a very long working week😉

@Sprig1 photo 2 it just a photo of the toilet roll holder and nothing else.

PegasusReturns · 26/02/2021 20:44

Photo number two is awful but none of them are good. What a way to sell a house!

GarkandGookin · 26/02/2021 20:46

What a lot of house for the money! It's pretty nice too.
I hate those 'arty' estate agent photos, but this one missed the point a bit, with the arty photo of a bog roll Grin

BarryTheChopper · 26/02/2021 20:49

I bought a house with similarly shocking photos, I only viewed it while I had a parade of people in viewing mine and needed something to do!

A spare bedroom with no furniture but kids toys strewn across the floor was a memorable one.

I was pleasantly surprised with the actual viewing, win win Grin

heatherhoneys · 26/02/2021 20:54

It's a lovely house.

heatherhoneys · 26/02/2021 21:07

Have a look at picture 14 of this equally stunning house

not a house one but a dating site guy in his kitchen picture and every surface of his kitchen was covered in clutter undone washing up a right mess from the worktop to the bottom of the cupboards he didnt want a girlfriend he wanted a cleaner, and if his kitchen looked that bad i dread to think what the rest of his place looked like

That's you told op!

SydneyPlace · 26/02/2021 21:37

@tobee ...maybe it belongs to @Sprig1 😊

It’s photos like that loo roll that make me think EAs are spectacularly overpaid.

As for the second house - I need to move, that’s an amazing house for that price!

happinessischocolate · 26/02/2021 23:41

I think people must be taking their own photos at the moment, I was looking at a flat today on one of the sites and I swear all the photos were of the furniture rather than the actual room

TheJunctionBaby · 27/02/2021 12:23

It's a lot of house for the money, but that has to be one of the most confused houses I've seen... I'm not sure what most of the rooms are meant to be (and neither do the owners apparently) and the layout is awkward to say the least.... you have to go through an office to get to the kitchen.

I know most of that is easily sorted, but you have to have a lot of vision and be prepared to roll up your sleeves to want to tackle that

Midlifephoenix · 27/02/2021 17:01

I never understand why they include photos of a sideboard with nice things on - I'm not buying someone's knick knacks just show me the room! The photos in the first house are poor, and actually the whole house is not that nice either.

emmathedilemma · 27/02/2021 17:37

That photos of that house are not doing it any favours!
This one is ermmm, interesting..... www.zillow.com/homedetails/3695-Primrose-Rd-South-Lake-Tahoe-CA-96150/195374618_zpid/

OMG picture 17 looks like there is a naked mannequin lying on the floor in the background!

How about picture 5 from this house - www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/76131330#/

Why have they got the female version of the grim reaper statue?

The statues around the bath are a bit creepy.
I think the last few gor the idea of modelling or staging a house spectacularly wrong. Or they are taking the mick.

I have a headache from this house

FlumpetCrumpet · 27/02/2021 20:26

That house is amazing. The hand reaching out to pull a pint in photo 10 is my favourite bit. I'd love to live there just as it is!
