Their job is to suck up to you though.

We are "typical people stumbling across your house details" ... and what we see, what we look at, what we think.

We should charge for this.

Any programmers in the room?

yes the pylon is near our house, however, another house has just sold which has that same pylon in their back yard! The thing is with this village is that every house is near a pylon it's just something that comes with the area and so local people living here will be used to it.

there you go, you need a local buyer - someone who knows the area, otherwise, buyers from outside the area mind would (in my opinion) instantly dismiss buying next to a pylon.

I looked at the flat in the corner of this building - must say the pylon put me off more than a bit!

I think your pictures could do with being sharper and brighter. And you really could do with a floorplan. Fuzzy pictures always make a place look old to me - like they have been taken with a normal camera and just scanned in. Nothing here to really inspire me to look.

Can't comment on the price. Living in London £120k for a studio seems a bargain, let alone a 3 bed terrace!!

I agree with kmmr. The photos are awful, so very fuzzy ask the agent to take new ones or to take some yourself and give them to him/her.

Also all the red in the lounge puts me off, could you not buy a cheap tin of neutral coloured paint and give it a coat of two.

Could you not get another agent to come around and give you a valuation and their advice on what needs to be done to get it sold?

Good luck with selling it.

doesn't matter how you dress something up, ultimately it all comes down to price. if you lower it then people will come view. if you lower it substantially it'll sell.

£25k for a bathroom and heating system in a tiny terrace...?

I assume the 'etc etc' is a hell of a long list...including kitchen...oh, no its not been done...

Unfortunately the area is one of those contradicting the headlines of last year...

£115 in 3/07 is now worth £99k. Add £8k for heating, bathroom, max.

= £107k.

OK the pricing has been covered.
You need to do something about the decor. Yes I know we are supposed to look past it, but lets face it. Not everyone is capabale of that. Especially when it's smacking you in the face like that red is.

Tone down the colour. Get some cheap throws for the sofas and get rid of that rug.

Kitchen maybe give it a lick of paint? Just brighten it up. It looks dark and dingy

Dining room (the one with the piano in it?) None of the furniture matches and that colour is making it look dark. Of course you don't have to go out and buy big expensive bits that match. Just make it look as though you've made an effort. Not just thrown whatever you had in there. Possibly get rid of the unit at the door? Get rid of the table covering?

Bedrooms are ok (except the wallpaper in the nursery room)
Not everyone likes the thought of spending hours stripping wallpaper in their new house.

Brighten the place up and definitely get some new pics done!

This sounds really rude, and I apologise in advance, but honesty may be the best policy here. You have it up for more than it was up for in 2007, and say you have spend more than 25k on it, but I am sorry but I really cant see 25k worth of improvement? It still looks like a bit of a doer upper to me?
I am currently renovating a house and for the same figure......
I have a new bespoke hand built real wood kitchen,
new bathroom with quality roll top, real stone flooring, hand made tiles, new heating, wiring, redecoration, exposed beams etc, etc, etc, the house is not the same house at all!
I think you need to seriously look at the price, change agents, and possibly look at decor.

the right move add doesn't mention off road parking - also what about a floor plan - does your agent provide them. It puts me off looking if there is no floor plan, especially on a house that doesn't look that special (I mean if it had real kerb appeal I'd view it despite the fact the details were poor but not when the house is merely one of many and over priced at that.)
