No viewings - comments please

Hi all,

I've got a meeting with the estate agent tomorrow. We are with our second agent and have been on the market 19 weeks in total. We had one viewing with the previous agent, and none with this one.

Any comments on the details/photos please:

Not much is moving around here at the moment, but we'd like to be doing everything we can.

Thanks in advance,

I hate countrywide agents, absolutely useless by my experience.

If you're not getting viewings, 95% of the time, it's because it's too expensive.

Well the living room picture is awful, it looks like you can just about fit an armchair in there. It's much bigger on the floorplan but you need the picture to show that. Bedroom picture also does not really show the room, and you need a pic of your other bedroom.

Very nice garden.

How does the garden work in a flat? Is that your garden or is it shared?

That is all our garden, it is that size as we are in the corner of the cul-de-sac.

Pictures are quite dark. I'd retake the kitchen one with the lights on or edit the photo to lighten it up a bit. Can you lose the armchair from the lounge and just have the sofa in there, maybe push the table against the wall to open it up a bit. Do you have a fireplace? Might look better if the photo was taken from behind the table to include whatever is in the focal point that the chair and sofa are angled towards. The bedroom one might look better if taken from the foot of the bed, all I can see is cupboards. The photographer just seems to have opened the doors and taken the shots from there, not thought about showing the rooms to their best advantage.

I agree the garden looks very nice.

i like the first picture.

I'd wonder who does the gardening and who has use of it.

I'm not sure what it is about the lounge i don't like, but i like the other rooms, looks very clean which is always something i look out for.

Perhaps it's the red carpet? I don't know, but i think the main reason why people aren't looking must be the price.

I know Leeds is nice, but it's not near enough to Maidstone for the standard flat renters to walk really is it? and not a near enough walk for the stations.

Just had a look at the competition and i would personally say the price is fine compared to the two either side - have they had much interest do you know? Maidstone's a funny one because you would have to be buying the village life for your £142 when you can get this for slightly less in town

That is a seriously nice house for the money really. If i wasn't stuck in negative equity in Sittingbourne i'd consider it!

Well your first problem is; http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-29972873.html

£7.5k less for what differences? A little worse decor. 1 parking place..?

That is rank by comparison! Hideous gas fire, nasty kitchen and the bathroom is obviously so bad they don't show it.

Is it priced well compared to rivals, of not you will have to drop the value.
