I know that by posting this the number of hits will go up on the site... in which case do you think it may persuade the vendor to raise their price even higher?

2 bed flats have held their value reasonable well in Bournemouth, but an increase from 139K to 159K? Maybe its the retro look in the lounge of this 'new and refurbished' property which justifies the extra 20K.
Would love to know how SimonMrGreenWard would market this. ha ha

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It has managed to convince me painting my new place pink will not "cheer it up" but will in fact make it look like it is owned by a slightly loopy old lady with a penchant for cats.

Got to be, no one in there right mind thinks "Hmmm I'm not selling a £179,995 what can I do to generate more interest...I know add on another £30k that will get the buyers in". Also the "new" kitchen looks like sulphuric acid residue is embedded in the walls. :eek:
If you're going to shell out for a new kitchen surely you can splash out a fiver for a can of magnolia paint?!? Some people lol"It would be so nice if something made sense for a change" ~ Alice in Wonderland0 -
Is that a fireplace or an altar to Kermit the Frog?0
-
Maybe the £20k increase is so that the lucky buyer gets to pay for the "new lease"?0
-
What's going on with the skirting board in pic 3?
If that's newly refurbished, then I'm caught up in some strange Red Dwarf style time warp.... and need help getting back to the normal world.0
