    I think the vendors would need 6 months notice to pack if they sell this.

    Well - actually I quite like the garden on that one.

    There's two ways of looking at that number of possessions crammed into a house. Either:
    - they have a "problem" personally
    OR
    - the house is too small for them

    I can sympathise if its reason 2. - as the reason my house is rather "crammed" is because its too small for me. A bit bigger house - and it would look pretty "spacious"...:cool:

    Crikey - re the link in the post above mine (ie Pastures New one).

    Something pretty drastic has obviously happened...

    My thoughts "they've had a kneejerk reaction to sell the house - but they clearly dont REALLY plan on doing so - or they would have got it looking a lot more presentable than that".

    I thought the whole idea of photos was to show a house off to its best advantage...

    Probably demonstrating it's being sold due to divorce... and she's got no mates so it's all too big for her now.

    lovely teddies too ! I also like the first sentence of the last paragraph where the EA seems not to have deleted the instruction comments:"This footer paragraph is an example only and should not be relied upon as complying with current legislation." :)

    I see picture 4 has the obligatory sticks (but can't see the vase) despite all the bamboo growing round them.

    I hear what you are saying - and this is from a person who loves dogs. It is fiendishly hard to eradicate dog odour even from the most well groomed and well kept of dogs.

    Still, what often makes me laugh, I find the people who are MOST sensitive to even the faintest of dog odours...are young parents. Believe me - their places often STINK. From soiled nappies, spilt milk which has gone rancid and sour on carpets and soft furnishings - yet they are so accustomed to this smell ...they no longer register it at all.

    If I truly liked the house though - be that from previous pets or previous kids - it wouldn't deter me one iota. So you have the house professionally shampooed and cleaned - no big deal.

    I confess - I once showed people around my house when I was also working at the weekend in the Estate Agents. The people who I had shown round rang up when I was working, enquiring about another house, and I asked them what they had thought of such-and-such street, and their reply was, "which one was that...the smelly house?" :o:o:o Talk about die of shame. (In my defence, it transpired that they didn't like the smell of the lavender room fragrances I had plugged in in several rooms as we had a baby and I was conscious of all the things you listed!)
