Apart from the others points-
The front of the house picture is awful.
Take a picture without that parking space in it as it makes the front look horrid. Your floorplan will show that there is a parking space outside so it doesn't need to be in the photo.
Also tart up the gardens.
If there is no difference between yours and your neighbour's house then you need to make one. Making the garden look like it's cared for and is used will make a difference.I'm not cynical I'm realistic
(If a link I give opens pop ups I won't know I don't use windows)0 -
Is it your BMW?
If so, would it have been too much effort to move it for the photos?
With regards to the others;
The bathroom needs a good declutter. You need to clear the stuff taped to the front of the fridge, the boxes from the top, and .... What on earth is the folded dish towel supposed to be doing? You really don't think that's a selling point, do you?0 -

Thank you. Since the pictures were taken, the fence outside the house has been painted, flowers have been potted and had a general clean up outside of the house has been done. We'll get the pictures updated to reflect this.0 -
The back garden photo has clearly been taken from inside the house, as we can the photographer's reflection in the glass. Would it have been too much trouble to step outside?
Do you think the lines of blue clothes pegs are a selling point?0 -

Definitely not!
It's something I thought when I saw the picture of the front of the house but the EA said to leave it :S
I thought the folded dish towel would give us the edge over the house down the road
... Seriously, I hadn't even noticed it until you pointed it out! I guess it's just how we live so is normal to us which is why it wasn't given a second thought for the photographs.
The feedback is really giving us food for thought.0 -

You're not trying to sell the way you live, though, are you? You're trying to let people picture how they could live there....0 -
I would not of viewed our house unless it had a dish towel...Some people like dish towels..It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

Of course. What I meant was that to us, those things wouldn't have been given a thought in terms of putting off potential buyers which is why getting all this feedback has given us a different perspective on how the house is presented.0 -
Yes cornflakes.
Yes clutter on bath.
Yes dishcloth.
But you need perspective - clothes pegs aren't going to put people off at least looking. So something else is. What did the last similar house sell for (and when) - not for sale but actually sold?
You have to consider that the price is putting people off even viewing, as your house is nice.
Oh and I like the living room colour0
