What a grim and soulless place.

Looks like wedding photography from the noughties.

Yes thought footballer with red in their kit.

I wonder how that yellowy green T shirt snuck in.

omeones been told to add some colour but it looks weird

I actually quite like the house, but I’d need to rip the whole house apart from top to bottom and get rid of the decor, start again with the garden. A bit out my price range though

Oh my god estate agents videos trying to be a blockbuster movie trailer.

Christ Almighty - the video

I didn't know whether to expect Kilgrave to wander out or a boxing match to begin.

The video is CGI. I'm thinking the house interiors are too.

Soulless.

What CGI has that furniture?!

That video is very cringy

Awful. Clinical. So passé.

Looking at the clothes in the wardrobe, which are all black/white/grey and red (apart from one or two rogue green tops), I would say that the current occupant has quite rigid/fixed ideas about colour choices, possibly to the point of OCD or similar. But fundamentally, there's a lot of red because that's what they like, and it's their house!

It's quite easy to see what the underlying house is like, and easy to imagine what it would be like with a more varied colour scheme and furnishings. If you wanted and could afford a 3 million pound house in Solihull!

My friend lives on that road - the house has been on the market for a loooooong time and is known locally for being utterly hideous.

Apart from the utter waste of money from them having painted and carpeted everything grey and it would 90% need replaced ....
None of the red tat is a permenant feature . It can all get rolled up and taken away .
The garden is bland like an afterthought . Would've been better to leave the house more 'Blank Canvas' and planted some trees

The veranda looks a tad forlorn like they're hoping for a break from the grey .

Off to look at the video now ....

The house looks like a rich single man's house. I can see it easily being turned into a family home. None of that grey decor will stay except the carpet and wall. The garden is just a blank canvas too.

Oh God that is horrendous.

Literally looks like blobs of period blood.

The video is hilarious, agent walking down the drive trying to be a big man ✅ Hollywood esq music ✅ shaky camera work at the end ✅ overpaced zooming around ✅

@irregularegular

OMG have you watched the video!!!!!?

On your recommendation I just did. OMG 😲 😱 🤣

WATCH THE VIDEO PEOPLE - bloody hysterical.

It is a complete blank canvas if I had millions id consider it- you could make it really amazing.

But then I would probably remember I don’t want to live in Birmingham and not bother

Now I just watched the video 🤣🤣🤣. Someone needs to email the estate agents this thread.

@catblanket

Oh god. I know that road pretty well and it’s all a bit nouveau riche along there. The whole road is full of the “great and good” if Birmingham/Solihull (cough). Used to be all massive houses with massive gardens, but the area has boomed recently and there’s been a lot of carving up of land and property going on.

I used to cycle down that road when it was all lovely old houses & the Birmingham Tory MPs used to live along there. They unfortunately seem to have adopted the Wentworth Estate philosophy of knocking the house down when a new kitchen is wanted.

@Theunamedcat

It looks like a shopping centre

And £3,000,000! It's horrible! Imagine all the amazing houses you could buy with that. I'd want a village for that money.
