Why not take your own pictures and add them to your listing?0 -

Are you sure it's that putting people off - how do you know it is?
In my experience most sales go to local people who will be aware of what the area looks like anyway (or knows someone who does).0 -
Can you actually see it on street view or just on the satellite one? If the latter only, I'm with jennikitten - it's probably something else putting your buyers off.

How do you know this? Do people really ring up the EA and say, "I don't want to view this property because the area looks a mess - bye!"? If they do the EA can tell them it's been cleaned up. If they don't then how do you know anybody's ever looked at Google Maps, let alone been put off by it?And if you truly believe it's putting people off why not just take a photo of the view and stick it in your ad?0 -

Can I claim that Bing have seriously devalued my property by losing bits of it?

Just a shame Rightmove don't use Bing.

Actually, Obama probably has an up to date one you could use.
