Remving house picture from sold price websites

Does anyone know how I can go about removing the picture of my house from the websites where you can look up sold prices?
I know it is possible as there's lots of others in my village have the picture removed.
I know I can't remove the sold price :( but it must be possible to remove the pictures?
TIA :)
Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Why do you want them removed? Surely all the furniture is the previous residents so out of date anyway.

    Where are the pictures coming from? Have you removed your house from Google streetview too?

    It's not 'your' house anymore, so why would it matter?

    It is my house, I own it.

  • From each website find their contact form and send them a message asking them to remove the photographs, include a link to the listing for your property.

    I believe that, being public ally accessible, they are under no legal obligation to remove any picture of the outside of your house.

    She means the house she bought.

    OP I don't think you need to worry about how it looks as surely it will look completely different now to how it was when it was sold. Any nosy people looking at it will know that too so it's not like they are seeing "your" house, they are seeing "the previous owners" house.

    Have you tried emailing the wedbsite directly?

    Ive wondered about this - many sold listings do not have pictures (about 10-20% in my experience).

    Please keep the thread updated on how you get on after contacting zoopla, rm etc.

    Ok.
    IMHO it'll be a sad day when people can regularly remove photos of their house from the likes of Rightmove etc.
