Reason for lack of viewings...

I don't know, i'll ask them. I think it needs ammending slightly anyway, they've made the bathroom a bit longer than it should be, and the hall a bit smaller.

I've not got time to look aver everything...

it looks old fashioned compared to the others... The brown/green clashes of colour on the settee is a huge no no and makes me feel ill (sorry).. even the camel coloured curtains... In the bedroom your's look's smaller, if its not my imagination it's because of the way the bed is... turn it the other way and agin the clash of colour.. red and brown !!!!!!.. You've made it like a cheap caravan...

In the kitchen, as most have said it looks messy... it'd say the problem isn't the amount of things, it's that things are in one area and not spaced... perhaps some wall shelves in that open area to the right of the cooker..

Bathroom, tidy up the towels and put a more modern pic on the wall.. the small ones look like peas on a drum..

i wanted to bring the table out from the wall, but it's made circular dents in the carpet and looks daft if we move it.

Pop an ice cube on each dent. Once they melt and the carpet dries the pile will return to normal and no dents

Wow, walk round ANY interiors department at the moment and you'll see LOADS of brown and green - it's very common at the moment. I'm not moving it because i think it looks nice. Plus, we're not selling the soft furnishings, we're selling the house. The house is in fact painting a very inoffensive white throughout.

Those pictures in the bathroom are modern and new and only recently put up. If you'd spent as long as i had sourcing square frames you'd leave them too.

We can't turn the bed around because of where the door/window/cupboard under the stairs is.

That isn't an open area to the right of the cooker, it's where our table and chairs are.

Thanks for the input anyway. Perhaps we can let this thread die now i've have had so much advice?

The pic with the glass table adds nothing. All it says is 'oh look here is a corner where we managed to fit a little table'.
So take that out.
The kitchen pic makes it look as if the unit under the sink is a different colour. Is it? Also just having a two ring hob could be offputting.
I do sympathise as I have a teeny cottage with a minute kitchen. But it looked better after I harmonised/streamlined everything by having built in appliances and coordinating tiles. You need to avoid big shiny white things! I made up for lack of storage space with some extra wall cupboards. If revamping the kitchen is not an option then hide everything and definitely take the microwave off the fridge freezer and everything - like the pans - off the top of the cupboards. Then embellish with a small flower in a single vase. :j We know people don't live like that but the aim of the pics is to get people through the door. After that it's up to them.

We can't really add any further storage to the kitchen because a) it wouldn't match and b) it would just make the rest of the room smaller. The kitchen is only three years old (same as the house), i'm not really sure what's wrong with it. Okay, it's not my personal taste, but it's modern and clean etc. I think i'll take my slow cooker to a relatives house so we can hide more things where that was and move the large chopping board by the fridge.

If it was me I'd take down the 2 tiny (useless) corner shelves and put a couple of these up from the end of the cupboards over the cooker. Probably doubles your storage for less than £40.

Anything worth displaying (plates, cups etc) on the shelves, everything else in the cupboards.

I think it's a sweet little place, personally. I couldn't live somewhere that tiny (I have waaaaaaay too much stuff for a 5/6 bed detached!) but I can see how it could work for a single person just starting out.

From a practical perspective if you can add some storage to the kitchen and get some better pics you might have better results.

I'm going to bow out. I can see your appeal as a house compared to the flats in your street, but I hope you can see that when looking from the outside in, as I am, that the bare facts of what's stated in your synopsis suggest that some of the flats on paper, or on screen at least, look bigger. When so many people in this thread have looked at yours and thought it to be a similar-sized flat to the others in the street.....

I hope you can cajole the EA into a proper floor plan, overall dimensions, perhaps some clearer mention that your house occupies the whole of that front quarter, etc. etc. and also wish you all the best for a sale.

Unfortunately, it's a 'shameful shoe box home', as recently criticised by the Royal Institute of British Architects, as reported here.

You've done the best you can, but it's a bland little place, on a similarly bland and dismal new-build estate. There's only one outstanding feature - the price:

It's £20k too high

Its a beautiful home I cant understand why it hasnt sold. Must be the price. Reduce it enough and you'll sell.
