Help please, why are we not getting viewers?

Errata, you may be right about the price. A different EA valued it at around £220,000 about a year ago. At the time nothing had been decorated and there was no carpet on the stairs or in several rooms. Thus £249,500 did not seem too far from the mark. The auctioneer estimate was last week.

Today we have moved the furniture around in our room. Unfortunately the wardrobes were built in the room so can't be removed in one piece. But we can now walk around the bed. Yes ,in answer to somebodies question, I do sleep right against the wall normally. Too many years of sleeping with babies in bed with us.

I have checked my contract and it appears that we are tied in for 16 weeks, this takes us until 6th May. When we will be changing EA.

Thanks for the advise on channel 4 programs, I think I will be watching some catch up TV over the next few days.

Can the wardrobes be painted cream? They are pretty orange.

This is the start of the description

!!! OPEN DAY TO TAKE PLACE 27/04/2013 10AM - 12PM, CALL THE OFFICE TO ARRANGE YOUR ACCOMPANIED VIEWING TOUR !!!

RECENTLY REDUCED BY £20,000 !!! INVESTORS / LARGE FAMILY'S TAKE NOTE!!! POTENTIAL FOR AN 11 BEDROOM LET PROPERTY !!! CELLAR CONVERSION WITH DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM !!!

This is appalling beyond words - shouty capitals, multiple exclamation marks and grammatical mistakes (families not family's). Are all this agent's descriptions like this?

Also how is two hours, booked and accompanied an open day? It's not even half a day and it's not very 'open'. All it says to me is restricted viewing, you can see it at our convenience not yours.

The house isn't run of the mill, to say the least. It would be sensible to discuss value and marketing tactics with three different EA's before deciding which one to take a gamble on.

Even Phil's one isn't that bad.

One of the houses he improved is not far from me and while he improved it, it's still not sold. The vendors and their EA tried to claim a study was a bedroom.

It may be the poor photos which give them that colour.

However the wardrobes from the bad photo take over the room.

Agree: and it's such a lovely big window that fades into insignificance, I am a sucker for sashes and bays.

If you watch the property programs I've directed you to, doing basic decoration and carpeting does not add to the price.

It just makes the property easier to shift.

Fair play to the OP she listen to what people have to say but please don't be distracted by all this talk about photos and wardrobes, the 10 tonne elephant in the room is the price tag. Just ignore all this Kirsty and Phil waffle about attracting buyers and drop the price.

If you live in the north west and have a budget of 230k burning a hole in your pocket you wouldn't look twice at a red brick, inner city terrace. Face it, that gullible, dream buyer willing to pay crazy money only exists in your imagination and no tasteful drapes, tins of cheap magnolia paint or bowls of twigs will ever change that. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
