A house on Rightmove with 63 photographs

I have come across plenty with up to 20 shots and some even higher but 63!!! Taking a look at other ones they handle they do seem to have good shots but I wonder is this going too far the wrong way?

    OMG - my personal favourite is the chopping board on the kitchen worktop, or maybe the 'secret garden' but I'm not too sure what the secret is.

    On the positive side, you would have a pretty good idea you wanted to view this place. But really, the fake flowers? All that tells us is the taste of the current owner.

    ps. I thought it was going to be housenetwork.

    picture 29 ! ROFL

    I like having lots of photos to look at, but I hate it when they are the same photograph just slightly different. There are about 20 photos on that listing, the other 40 just repeat what is shown on the 20.

    Thanks for the Laugh!
    I like the one where the EA would have had to have got in to the shower to take the shot.
    And the one where he must have climbed in to the childs bunk bed :eek:
    :rotfl:

    I have to say it is a bit excessive but it is firstly nice to see a decent house as where we live they all seem to be very dated and secondly it's nice to see more than a picture of the lounge and that's it! it would make me deffo want to go and view it..oh and for the person who said r.e the fake flowers well i have them in my house and think they look lovely! (not those exact ones btw!) and the chopping board pic is something id'e prob do too lol!!

    I used to rarely use less than 12 but at most up to 22. However never such detailed shots. I managed to do something I never see agents doing. Street scenes of the property, street scenes from the property, then took a walk in every direction to get local shots.

    Why don't agents do this although I can answer my own question it took a lot of time!

    It's just the sort of house I avoid like the plague, new build, with no character, no room to swing a cat, a characterless garden that is looked upon from all sides.

    No. 5 is the same as No. 1, but one with flash, one without...

    Should've moved the exercise bike from the bedroom in 23....

    No. 31 could be a promo shot for 'Land of the Giants'

    No 59 induces nausea and seasickness in this viewer.

    Oh my, they've given them all titles......

    It could be worthwhile rejigging the order of the photos, so the last one with the big shot of the front exterior would benefit popping up as the first photo to be seen :money:
