I personally rather like baths in bedrooms Not so keen on the kitchen sink though (pic 15) - or anything about the kitchen for that matter! Also hate those bloomin' words/letters in pic 8......although we did used to have exactly the same marble fire surround in a previous house

What a dump for £1.8mill

Even the twigs in Pic 12 look like they are trying to escape!

I wasn't sure about the letters in pic 8 either!

EDIT: The letters look like they could be illuminated too - even better!

Looks to me like this warehouse conversion is still being converted:

Complete with full size dustbin in the kitchen (pic 12), although this was removed for the shot in pic 11.

The bathroom in pic 5 is huge. I don't like big bathrooms, I like them small and cosy. Bet it feels like you're sitting in a bath within a barn.

Me too.......

When we sold our family home back in 2007 our EA advised just that - using only a small number of pics in order to entice the potential buyers in, make them want to view in person rather than leaving nothing for them to discover. Only six pics were put on RM and I think eight in the brochure......and that was a 3500 sq ft, six bedroom house in the mid-upper price bracket for the area

OTOH when we sold our last house two years ago that agent went for photo-overload by comparison, with 19 pics on RM - and that house was half the size and half the price

I think what you are seeing here is the more a reflection on the relative states of the housing market in 2007 versus 2011, rather than some universal truth about photos. Before the crash, you could market a house with just an address on the back of an envelope stuck in a news agents window and buyers would still be knocking at your door because they knew if they didn't act quick it would either be sold or the price would go up.

Now the roles are reversed, a buyer can afford to be more choosy, I want to see a good picture of every room, plans and reasonable descriptions (though I'd be happy to never see another "lifestyle" picture). I will "walk" the area on Google street view and generally take my time, with luck the price will drop before I even think of showing an interest. I certainly don't want to take the time and trouble to go and view a place without knowing exactly what I'm going to see. If I see a house with few pictures I don't think "Oo, what might I discover?" I think "So what are they hiding?".

I think the lack of detail and photos on RM is just a ploy by the EA's: not to "entice" buyers but to increase the enquiry count so they can tell the vendor they must be doing a good job because lots of people are "interested" so please don't go to someone else.

Whilst I disagree and love big bathrooms (both in our current and last-but-one house we converted a bedroom into a bathroom), our freestanding bath has been just that - freestanding. Why have a roll top bath in a good-sized room then stick it against the wall?

Blimey, all that white paint makes me long to see some magnolia... never thought I'd say that!

Is that ladder thing in pic 5 some sort of radiator?
