Should I change my pictures?

When I was searching for property having naff pics taken on a gloomy day didn't do much to sway me fore a viewing. It's silly as obviously everywhere has bad weather but I guess it's part of the first impression though so is kind of important.
Several properties I found on RM were on with multiple EA's and some looked like totally different properties due to the photos!
I had some .PDF details sent to me from EA's which didn't even have photographs or room dimensions on. I dismissed these immediately. If you can't be bothered to take photographs or measure the house then I can't be bothered to come view it and potentially buy it.
Your flat looks nice and the pictures look good too. I wouldn't be worried.0 -
I think the pictures are fine - they certainly wouldn't put me off viewing. If you really want them re-done then I would remove the toiletries etc around the basin and toilet and the towel in the bathroom as well as the tea towels on the oven door.
I wouldn't worry about the colour of the room. It is narrow and there is nothing much you can do about it, and I don't think lightening the walls would make much difference as it would still look narrow.0 -
Just accepted an offer of £125,000. It is a loss less than I hoped for, but I suppose that I should be realistic in the current climate.0

Excellent news. Pity it's not what you hoped for but, like you say, you have to be realistic.
Those of us who said the pics would do where right then.

Congrats.
Were you in a rush? As like you say it's only been on a short while. You might well find somebody else who viewed wants your flat and you might end up with a bidding war on your hands. Unlikely but possible.0
