Mind you, I shouldn't criticise too much, my place is going on the market in the next few days. Hopefully I won't see it on this thread, although I will admit to one bunch of twigs.

:rotfl:Me too - My flat should be on the market by the end of next week, think I'd die off if it popped up on this thread!

Me 3!!! Have taken so much care staging my flat which went on the market today, half with a view to getting it sold the other half to make sure it doesn't end up on this thread :rotfl:

What is the estate agent thinking with these pictures? Number 4 is my favourite! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-24303963.html

Not so much "what is the estate agent thinking" - more "what on earth was the vendor thinking?" with that "pipes on the wall syndrome" thing going on (ie all those pipes on show in the bathroom).

I just don't get why on earth pipes are ever on show anywhere - and for them to be on show as from half way up the wall going upwards, so very difficult to deal with. I think those bathrooms that have pipes going along near to and parallel with the bathroom floor are bad enough (tell me about it - my house has them and I'm on the third go of having done something to box them in and hide them. With it being a starter house to me it hasn't been worth my while to rip up the floor and put them out of sight, as the previous owner should have done in the first place).

Wherever they are, no matter how well hidden, have no doubt, we will find them and expose the shocking details to the nation.

...and we want some commission for doing so please..:D. This is MSE after all:rotfl:

Well - has anyone else noticed just how often houses that hang around for some time on the market go pretty quickly after they have been featured here (if they are decent reasonable places that is...)?

To be fair though, quite a few of the houses on here are beautiful. So if your place does show up, just tell yourself that's why and try not to read the comments too closely.

(I'm sure that will be why, though)

Particularly pics 2, 9 and 12, but all of them are a bit scary.

Number 8 looks like the set-up to a murder mystery. Imagine walking up the stairs in the middle of the night, footsteps on the landing above, you look up and see that crashing down on you.

And as for number 9, oh god, part of me's chuckling about how over the top it is and the other part's screaming about how much I want that bed.

On the whole though, it looks like a lovely house. Remove most of the furniture and the trappings like pictures and curtains and I think you'd have a fairly lovely, if slightly old-fashioned, neutral backdrop. Even the patterned carpet is pleasantly subtle. Only thing I'm really not keen on is the dark sludge-brown of the kitchen cabinets.

And the garden is beautiful.

Where the hell is Earl Shilton, anyway? I take it it's not the nicest of areas?

Sorry, pet hate about EA photos :rotfl:

I think they probably filled the bath to redo the sealant around it .

I like your thinking

Even though we moved into our home 6 months ago I am still getting my daily rightmove fix via email (after looking for so long weaning myself off the local market has been hard to do!)

This popped up and I thought "oh my what a beautiful house" (and it seemed to need no work doing to it - unlike the place we bought...) The features near the windows in picture 20 though - I have spent ages wondering if there is a toilet in there and where it is - perhaps in a wardrobe for privacy? :rotfl:
