    I think it looks alright actually. I would ignore most of the comments above as its possible to find fault with anything.

    Also any buyer who would be confused if the car parked on the drive way would be sold with the house probably shouldn't be buying a house without a carer to assit.

    Why should the OP ignore the comments above yours? Just because you say so?

    Nobody said anyone would be 'confused' by the car on the drive, but it should be got out of the way so that viewers can see what they're getting - garage, driveway etc. - at the moment it's just an obstruction to this.

    Don't take it to heart. It's just someone on t'internet :)

    But now we are on the topic, I thought the same thing :o - just trying to help. Anonymity on a message board makes it easier to say things like this. Things that people do not want to hear, and in polite conversation others wouldn't bring up - but that doesn't mean they aren't thinking it.

    Yep, I didn't mean any offence, it was just an observation. You did ask for opinions after all. The TV just didn't fit in with the size of the room or the rest of the furniture/decor.

    I see the TV has now been cropped off the picture in the RM ad, so maybe you took the advice in the spirit it was intended..

    I would agree that some of the photos need redoing. I hate some of the ultra-wide shots that estate agents do, but this is definitely a case where something with a wider angle lens is required.

    - The living room shot is of a floor with a fireplace - looks like the camera was randomy pointed
    - Try and move to the right to take the kitchen photo, the white end unit looks bad, possibly get an end piece from B&Q or paint it?
    - Bedrooms - need to be wider angle
    - Bathroom - tricky, but remove the photo taken from lower for sure
    - Garden - retake if the grass looks greener now, after mowing

    On the price - I think it's a little overpriced, and that is probably the main reason why their haven't been many viewings. If still no luck then try some of the larger agents, eg. Mitchell/Bridges.
