Don't people neutralise before selling any longer ?

found this property on the Rightmove Android app and wanted you to see it: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/145090202 Oh my eyes

I think it's nice enough, definitely not beyond a quick change to suit personal tastes. Granted the kitchen's unusual, but it's not awful and they're unlikely to change a kitchen just to sell it. I could live with all of it anyway.

It's all lovely and tasteful - and then there's the kitchen! But I think it would be easy enough to just change the colour of those cupboard doors so it wouldn't put me off buying it.

I think it's lovely, apart from the kitchen doors. I don't think they will have any trouble selling it.

The only major problem i can see is that claustrophobic bathtub.

Its inoffensive. Just mot maybe to everyone's taste... but then neither is grey or beige.

What are you on about? The kitchen cupboards are a bit lairy for my taste but the rest of it's fairly bog-standard. Hardly eye-bleach territory.

I really like it!
Kitchen cupboards wouldn’t necessarily be my choice but easily changed. I’d rather a house with a bit of life than all magnolia….

Bit of an overreaction. It’s bright, light and airy, the kitchen cupboards are colourful of course but tbh I prefer that to drab and dull grey/cream/beige.

I also think it’s lovely. Good advertising if you’re the seller, OP.

Is it not kind of a waste to neutralise before selling?
Because the new owner will get a new colour anyway.

I love it!

Are we looking at the same property? The orange cupboard doors require bright but otherwise it's just a couple of walls of wallpaper.

What a beautiful flat

You’re being a snob OP, it’s absolutely fine

yup the bathtub is the only issue i have with the place

Other than the very bright kitchen units it’s all fairly standard. It’s clean and tidy.
If people can’t see beyond decor/furniture/cushin covers/bedding when they’re viewing properties they’ve got issues 😂

I used to do that but having witnessed a lot of people rip out flooring, bathrooms etc to suit their taste, I think it’s less important these days.

That's a gorgeous property, decor not all to my taste but perfectly nice. I wouldn't expect them to change the kitchen.

The only bit I don't understand is the large airy bed and living rooms then the walled in bath?

I was expecting a horror show. I once viewed a rental that was all done out in huge, thick black and grey stripes. Carpet, wallpaper and paint. Just awful. I genuinely couldn't have lived there which was a pain as there was a real shortage of rentals in the area. Now that needed a lick of white paint.

I prefer to see a house that looks loved and lived in rather than endless griege. That flat looks great!

Are agents doing this pretend ‘look how terrible this property is’ thing on mumsnet to get views now. 😅

I like it! But then I have an orange living room. We're looking at the moment and everything is so grey. It's depressing.

I love that flat.

I could live in it for a while. When I buy property, my priorities are location, aspect for natural light, parking, layout, and room sizes in that order. The need to redecorate is almost a given and not really a problem, IMO.

It's prime property in Edinburgh. The sellers won't have any issues selling it as it is.

I love the kitchen and wouldn’t change it, so this would actually be more appealing for me if I were flat hunting in Edinburgh. We’re currently in the process of buying a house, and the one we went for and even over budget for was the most colourful/interesting one over seeing loads of boring magnolia boxes. Everyone doesn’t have your taste

Looks fine to me.

I rather like the kitchen cupboards 😁Nice to see something cheery and not an endless sea of grey. And the rest looks fine- perhaps not to everyone's taste but I assume 'neutralised' isn't most people's taste either.

But the bath! I couldn't cope with that.
