Wouldn't you neutralise before selling?

Oh my! Quite bizarre decor……..
I think I would have tidied the kitchen and hoovered the carpets before the photographer came.
Surely one of Laurence’s finest 🤣🤣🤣

MargotEmin · 10/03/2022 11:27

Wow that's quite something!

queenrollo · 10/03/2022 11:30

I had to check the date it was added as this has been listed before with the exact same photos.
Clearly it didn't sell and they are trying again.

TrashyPanda · 10/03/2022 11:33

It’s certainly memorable

ChicCroissant · 10/03/2022 11:35

That is a feature ceiling, I'll give it that. A bit of Magnolia on the walls would probably show the ceiling off a bit more than the colour combo they've got there at the moment.

@Igmum

I was flicking through and thinking meh, nothing much wrong with this then OMG picture 5 🤣🤣
Me too Grin
Aroundtheworldin80moves · 10/03/2022 11:39

Is the living room furniture included?

Almost a shame to paint over really.

TheNoonBell · 10/03/2022 11:41

That furniture is probably worth more than the house!

SisterGabriel · 10/03/2022 11:46

Which picture is the dog in? I can’t see it.

WhatTheWhoTheWhatThe · 10/03/2022 11:46

It’s in the kitchen picture. I couldn’t see it at first had to rotate my phone first for a wider shot

TillyTopper · 10/03/2022 11:47

The Mumsnet Sistine Chapel screamer needs that living room! I imagine she'd have a ball!

dontblamemee · 10/03/2022 11:50

I was disappointed in the bathroom tbh

Thewindwhispers · 10/03/2022 11:50

Omg I love their ceiling!!!

Holothane · 10/03/2022 11:53

Love the kitchen we’re yellow in ours.

ChinstrapBobblehat · 10/03/2022 11:53

OMG, I love this - Versailles comes to Christchurch, but in just the one room. Couple with opposing tastes? Will sell with no problem bc of where it is.

skgnome · 10/03/2022 11:56

Wow! That living room ceiling is wow! 😂 😆
They committed on the living room! - they say when you sell you have to style to sell a lifestyle - and that living room goes for it 😂
The rest of the house lacks in comparison

Zillamop · 10/03/2022 12:00

It could be a bargain if quite a few people are put off by the decor. As long as you have the time and budget to redecorate then it could be a winner

Alex2022 · 10/03/2022 12:04

I'm looking for a carpenter in the area if anyone could recommend one please?

BridesmaidPanic · 10/03/2022 12:13

[quote Outnumbered99]@lgmum same! I was like aww let the dog in then BAM![/quote]
Exactly the same! Went from Grin to Shock Confused in the click of a button!

The ceiling is certainly an acquired taste and in a way I'd feel bad painting over something that had clearly taken a lot of effort, but it'd definitely have to go!

Halllyup17 · 10/03/2022 12:16

Well, it makes people look at the house, I guess.

And it'll sell fairly easily in this market.

Mumdiva99 · 10/03/2022 12:18

I love the ceiling. No idea why they styled it with the baby pink though.

Alliswells · 10/03/2022 12:20

I was thinking it's okay and then BAM the living room hit me!!!!!

Goodnewsbadnews · 10/03/2022 12:22

@WhatTheWhoTheWhatThe

Well done to the estate agent for not even trying to style it out in the description. Just keeping it factual “this is a house with rooms and a kitchen that has cupboards and a bathroom with a bath” Grin
🤣🤣
mewkins · 10/03/2022 12:25

I hope they had a kid who wanted to go to art college and they let them loose on the ceiling for practice Grin.

strawberryapricotpie · 10/03/2022 12:25

No, I wouldn't. I like it personally, but even if I didn't, I really dislike this notion that if you want to sell a house that has distinctive decor you must slap a coat of magnolia everywhere. We sold a house with strong colours on most of the walls without any problem at all.
