    Make sure the paving slabs on the patio are level. If they wobble, it is a bit of a put off.

    One thing I would say about any further viewings is put all personal photos in the bottom of the wardrobe - you want it to feel like their house, not yours. It won't feel like theirs if there are pictures ogf your family everywhere.

    Just had feedback from the agent - she 'absolutley loved the house' but unfortunately 'didnt like the area' - they live in the area!

    We had a set of viewers once who told the EA they didnt like the front steps, all well and good but it was advertised as a 3 storey house and all the photographs showed steps to the front door.
    You just can't win with some folk.

    I had a chat with the EA, I think the problem is that there is too much to chose from ATM.

    Are you serious, or is this a wind-up?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
