Semi-formal poll on this one - should they have removed the baby photo from the wall, and the family photos on the window ledge prior to taking the photos...?

Frankly I'd put a bomb under the entire house, it needs to be dragged kicking and creaming out of the eighties!

I say no. The room is so bleak and white already, if you took that out of it as well it would just feel utterly soul-less and depressing. At least as it is, there is some glimmer of humanity in there.

...and not even proper gateposts!

Pics could have been so much better with just slight changes, though...

Remove the bog brush, and reframe it without the reflection in the bathroom cabinet mirror?

Take away the red flowers in the en-suite, and lose the shower mitt from the shower cubicle?

Reframe the bedroom photos to lose the objects at the edge of frame?

The agents are very keen to show us all the light fittings, make no mistake..... and it looks as though the rear lawn is dying

I'd be intrigued to know what you do for a living, Googler, I'm going to guess something like graphic designer or sub-editor because the attention to detail is incredible. That was like a spot the difference for me, I didn't notice a single one of those things and had to go back going "shower mitt?" "flowers?". I just noticed it was an ugly bungalow with white interiors, but at least it looked clean.
