PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Misleading property photos

I'll bet 99.9% of property photos also show furniture, knick-knacks, kitchen appliances, curtains and blinds, etc., that aren't to be included in the sale ....0

I view EA photographers much as I view the vintage Hollywood cameramen - strategic pot plants, Vaseline on the lens and shrewd lighting made every duckling g photograph like a swan.
If I really want to know roughly how out of whack the EA photos are, I check google street view!
Besides, EA shots give a might-possibly idea, whereas viewing can remind you property currently occupied by family with toddlers, dogs & other hazards...
Boots on the ground, ears open & check the local pub...0 -
I fully agree with "check the local pub"...:beer:...but there is a slight snag to doing that if you are a lone woman (ie rather than a man or a couple). I could never quite see me heading into a pub on my own somehow and hoping to get in touch with the local grapevine that way (not a problem in your own area - but definitely one in a strange area).
By now, a friend has commented I might as well be a reporter for the local newspaper - but it does take a while to get "tapped into" the grapevine without that possible pub visit.0
