Yeah house on the market ... is there any changes i should make ??

I've only just stumbled upon this thread. You have a beautiful home and I love the garden seating area, but as has been said no real garden would put me off.

Personally I don't think the two children's bedrooms are shown very well as they look too much like lounges. I'd like to see a bed.

On first look the thing that sticks in my mind is televisions, they just seem to feature so much and that's what has left its impression on me.

Funny how we all see something different.

I got confused when watching the tour as I thought your house was the cream fronted one and then the camera closed into the dark house next door with all the foilage on the front of the house. So I am none the wiser which one it is?

However, the inside is immaculate no faults there.

Good Luck

What response have you had so far OP (in the real world that is).

Hi we are the one next door to the ivy house - I keep getting it trimmed back so it doesn't get our house.
I have had 1 viewing yesterday, the couple seemed to like the house but they have only just put there's on the market so I don't think we will be getting any offers.
I just keep hopeing that we will get some more viewings soon.
We arnt in a mad rush to sell but the quicker we do sell the quicker we can be mortgage free and start on the other house.
I Supose I'll just have to keep waiting the house went online Tuesday and as I've never sold before I'm not sure how quickly viewings come around.

It's extremely well presented obviously and any changes that people suggest can only be minor ones. Of course a nice big garden would be incredible but you can't do much about that. I think if it were my house, I would put some trellis up the white brickwork with a clematis or two. But there you are, nothing really to criticise. I don't think you will have a problem selling even in this market. Keep posting, I'd love to know how you get on.

I'm certainly in a glass house when it comes to throwing stones at this particular property, but hey, it's an internet forum so here goes.

The whole place looks harsh and clinical, which I think is mostly due to the hard floors everywhere.

An obvious fix would be a rug or two.

Too many tellies, hide one or two, and I don't think I'd mention the one in the bathroom - a bit too professional footballer-like.

Finally, a local reference for the OP: a bit overdone for Jarrer, marrer?

Lovely house!!

Ultra modern which I love, tv in the bathroom superb!!

Kitchen looks great too!!

I struggle to find faults in this, apart from I wish it was in Norfolk!!!

Having had a 2nd look at the pictures, maybe it's a bit 'cold' feeling - ultra picky the garden might not appeal to many, but overall still lovely!!

Good luck selling!!

P.S What your % fee you have paid, I love the lay out and presentation by the EA!!!

I think it might look a little clinical as i am a bit of a cleany freak
The TVs are hubbies area im a cleany freak and hes a tech freak - but together we make a good couple
I dont think its too overdone, we just did it how we wanted as we had originally planned on living here a long time, but we have now had a change of mind - well i have ( i just keep thinking morgage free :j )

Thanks for the feedback

I hope Chase Holmes are better as an estate agent than they are as a letting agent.

Last Sept I was looking to rent near Newcastle while house sold in NW as I was moving back for work. I had viewing booked on a flat but didn't get to see it as the agent from Chase Holmes didn't bother turning up.

That was a bit of a pattern that day; two other letting agents didn't show up at other properties either.
