    On this one:

    Pic 1 - always good to have a weird painting of a topless woman close to the front door

    Pic 7 - looks like they are running a very posh teddy bear hospital

    Pic 9 - the obligatory twigs in a vase - the smallest I have ever seen!

    Surely that's not a painting of a minge in pic 3! :eek:

    And what's worrying is that it matches the sofa :)

    The teddy bears upstairs freak me out... ("Oh Mr Fluffy, it's time for your medication, if you'll just hold still whilst I undo the restraints...")

    I think it's a great house though :) Not sure about photo 11 though :huh:

    They're not twigs, they are Joss sticks.

    If I was trying to sell a house at this price level I think I might have chosen some slightly better photos:

    And precisely what are those things in picture 5? :huh:

    If I had a house to sell at this price level I think I'd have had better taste :rotfl:

    This one is surprising me:

    http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/11388510

    Its a nice house and with some "quality" fittings. However, it's a bit dated in some ways and has stayed at that same price for over a year without budging a bit (even though there have been other more modern properties for sale nearby at much cheaper prices).

    I love it!! Way out of my price bracket and area though.

    I always try to look beyond the clutter when looking at a house - but even I can't see beyond the mess of this house and I find all that stuff in the bathroom being on display when you're trying to sell your house kinda off putting.

    I love that this one has the description that is meant to be used by the real estate agents internally. That, or they're super honest. Why have they priced it sooo much above what the vendor wants?
