Thoughts on these professional photos please.

[Therearetoomanyofus]

We've just put our house on the market having just finished renovating it. The estate agent advised us to have a company come and take the photos for the brochure which we did and paid for.
I cant shake the feeling that they're just a little underwhelming. The estate agent has suggested we take some more 'lifestyle' photos that they could add to the listing but ive realised I'm no photographer and they just look a little crap!

Do you think it would be worth getting the photographer back or am I overthinking it and the photos are fine?
Here's the listing: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/137062946#/?channel=RES_BUY

Sorry the cheap looking furniture lets down the quality of the photos.

The rooms look long & narrow, is that the bad angles?

The garden shot works well but the angles are a bit off Inside, probably the lens used

I wouldn't have paid for a professional photographer to take these photos. They are no better than what the estate agents would do themselves! I wouldn't get the same photographer back, if they can't do a decent job in the first place, why get them round again?

Our local agent has a photographer that does brilliant photos, can make a shithole look desirable.

For that price of property, the photos are definitely underwhelming.

As someone who is really into property, yes, the photos are poor for that cost of home BUT I personally wouldn't let it stop me from viewing the property, but unlike a lot of people, I can "see past", things that a lot of people can't.

The house is amazing & spectacularly decorated.

It is not spectacularly decorated (no offence OP).

I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said.

Where is your EPC certificate? It is illegal to post a home for sale without one. They haven’t even bothered putting ‘EPC tbc.’

Then there’s a random G. They cba to type council tax band G?

At this point it’s beginning to seem like you need a new agent, not just new photos.

Why didn't the agents take the photos ?

And that green room would be very hard to live in and very hard to paint over - can you get them to photo it so it looks a bit lighter? They’ve also made the flooring look very grey which says laminate to me, and I wouldn’t be expecting than in a house of that value, so make sure you get them to warm that up.

I think they look fine. I certainly wouldn’t bother getting them done again. But like others have said, surely photographs are included in the estate agents fee. Only thing that would drive me insane is that dining chair on an angle in the foreground.

Is this your house or just the advertising booklet?

What's the green room for?

Hmmm… your photographer has done a really good job of making a nice house look bad !

the front elevation instead of creating kerb appeal and large spacious house seems to resemble a toll house

what is the dropped clock on the radiator In the kitchen ?

and for a house that has been de cluttered what is with the shelf of bottles ? Is it a bar ?

i bet you need some some furnishings rugs or blinds to stop it sounding echoey

agree with others about the stretched kitchen units, untidy bed and personally I hate to see a cat on a windowsill ( I’m a pet owner too)

the shine to the dark painted walls makes them look cheap when I’m sure in real life they look lovely.

in short they are not good enough and need redoing.

The photos are terrible. Rooms look long and stretched too thin, kitchen looks cold and uninviting. I'm sure it's nicer in real lot but for that much money you've a lot of competition and those photos need redoing.

The house is lovely, the photos show that. If the price is right for the area then I'm sure it will sell quickly.

This will go well…

Lovely house
average photos- I’m really surprised the estate agent made you pay for photos and these are not worth paying for!!
(what are you paying the agent for?)

you def need more photos and a walk through video. Our really shitty agent did a walk through video and the house we sold was a very modest house.

Have spent much time looking at these sort of listings

Are all the living areas tiny? The sofas look too big for those rooms. Or else if the room are bigger than they appear, then the photo angles are making them look tiny.
Also, charger cables dangling on the island and a wrinkly bed sheet look bad, considering the price of the house.

Also, the drinks shelves with the bottles turn me off. Not sure why. It doesn't really sell a desirable lifestyle maybe. Also cluttered looking.
I would remove more stuff from work tops and shelves. Put smaller furniture in the small rooms.

I love the outside, think that looks great, but proportions and lack of a particular style would turn me off.

Just some more thoughts, yes, it could do with "lifestyle" photos. Were you there when the photos were being taken? It looks quite bland and cold in my opinion, not at all "dressed" for a photoshoot.

Some nice cappuccino cups with steaming coffee, plate of biscuits, or cake on a cake stand. Some vases of colourful flowers dotted around the place. Something to make it warmer and more inviting.

I think it is a rubbish listing altogether. As well as a couple of weird angles I am confused about the flow of the house, which pictures are of what, plus how the house and annex sits on the plot, how big the garden is. Even the listing switches from 6 bed then to 5 bed. It's just unprofessional and not appropriate for the value of the house.

Oh seriously, you only put this on to showboat mate!

@AuntyPonsonby the annexe is the separate cottage to the left of the first picture. I find it odd calling it an annexe as I would expect it to be joined to the main house.
@viques, that's the thing, he's managed to get in every bare wall there is but none with any artwork! It doesn't feel empty at all in real life.
@MumblesParty & @KievLoverTwo , I may suggest a drone or aerial photos as that may give a better idea of the space.
@KPops22 yes a bath in our bedroom. Controversial decision but its stunning in real life.
@CapEBarra we have a beautiful original fireplace in the lounge- you wouldn't know it from these photos!

Thank you all for your input, I think I'm justified in going back to the EA and getting them to sort out the issues.

Take the football net out of the garden picture - it looks awful. Put something in the garden for foreground interest and scale for the photgraphs.

In general, the photographs have that wide angle distorted look about them that estate agents use. No real photographer would do that. The photographs give no real impression of your house, the light, how it flows. I can't work out what period the house is from as it has a collection of features from from different architectural periods - eg the huge long chimney and the faux lattice windows. Is there really only a small wooden fence separating your property from the one next door? Is the garden actually much bigger than it looks, though? Get an actual, real photographer. These pictures don't show your house off at all.

Ugliest house I’ve ever seen.

I also can't tell the flow
