Desperately trying to sell a house that we've never lived in and is nowhere near where we're currently living. We move around with DH's job and have accommodation provided with that, so we bought the house 6 years ago to keep us on the ladder.

We've already dropped the price from £500k to £490k to now £475k, but there's just zero interest. It's definitely not looking its best having had (good) tenants in for the past few years - some dodgy curtains left up and some hanging off the track! So the pics definitely aren't selling it well.

We live about a 3 hour drive away but I have a week off soon. If I go through there to do some work - what would I be best to focus on? The showhome pics make it look so nice - I presume you can't add a link to these on the Rightmove ad? An empty house is just so unappealing...

I would really appreciate any advice...

Oh it looks lovely OP! Fingers crossed the new agent does a better job for you. Who have you gone with?

Thank you 😊. Went with Adam Budd- met him first and didn’t contact any others as I really liked him.

Wow well done. What a transformation. It really does make such a difference showing tastefully appointed rooms and how they can be used.

Hope all goes well going forward.

DisforDarkChocolate · 21/02/2024 15:43

It looks fabulous.

rainingsnoring · 21/02/2024 15:44

It looks lovely @Whywontitsell .
What a lovely dad you have!

Good luck. This is Salisbury, right? Have a look at last week's UK Property Market Stats show on YT. At the end of the video they did a deep dive on Salisbury and it's EA's - only if you are interested.

Now I just need to check. You did decorate the right house number didn't you? 😂

Ooh thanks - I’ll have a look!

😂😂 it was bad enough decorating knowing it was for someone else’s benefit, never mind the wrong house 😂.

It looks so inviting. It shows it to be what it is, a lovely modern house. Well done and what a lovely dad!

Crikeyalmighty · 21/02/2024 16:30

@Whywontitsell looks lovely x

Mirabai · 21/02/2024 16:33

My God you’ve worked hard! (Especially your dad!) It looks great.

Mirabai · 21/02/2024 16:34

In the pic with the single bed, where did you get the quilt? It’s so pretty.

NewFriendlyLadybird · 21/02/2024 16:34

Wow! It looks fantastic. Well done to you and your dad — and I bet you’ll get loads of viewers and offers!

Mirabai · 21/02/2024 16:34

Fortunefavoursthebrave · 21/02/2024 16:43

What a difference, it looks so inviting now. I’m sure it will sell quickly.

Its a Greengate quilt I bought about 18 years ago.

Ah yes I love Greengate.

SageRosemary · 21/02/2024 17:18

Oh, my goodness, you've worked wonders here OP, well done you!!! I'd say you could make a career out of this - styling and photography. Great turnaround in such a short period of time. We could see the house had lovely bones but you've made it so much more appealing.

SunshineAutumnday · 21/02/2024 17:24

It's beautiful, well done.

MarsandVenusxoxo · 21/02/2024 17:24

Looking great! Well done & good luck x

BG2015 · 21/02/2024 17:32

Wow! Good luck

Whatevershallidowithmylife · 21/02/2024 18:16

Fabulous!

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 21/02/2024 18:48

Wow ! what a difference !

Did you ' dress ' it yourself ? I hope you did as you had said you had furniture etc.
Well done, I really hope it sells quickly for a price you are happy with.

DoWaDiddyDiddy · 21/02/2024 18:50

It looks fabulous, good luck!
