For the record my internal floor area is 50% larger.

I guess bungalows are an acquired taste.

Ignore them. I'd take your house over the bungalow in a heartbeat.

Love it or loathe it prices are pitching around there even in these parts of London today. I can still remember in 1969 when they were £5,000, but weekly wages £2.50 - thats a lot of saving up.

Fresh on today, around the corner in way of comparison (again 400 sq ft smaller).

I was told its buyers being squeezed out of Hackney and Muswell Hill that are moving further afield and thus far thats the empirical evidence I have seen.

The only real terms winner is the Chancellor with his SDLT

The photos for that property are poor too!

London house prices are ludicrous!! There is no way I would pay 725K for that place!

Sorry but it looks like an unloved student house.

I assume you've deleted some of the pics as per earlier advice because now the labels don't match, ie the first picture is labelled Picture 2, etc. What is currently the third photo, the pic of the hallway, looks very odd, almost ghostly with that lighting. Kitchen fine, living room wonky, bedrooms all have very badly made beds.

The floor plan - or what looks like a badly scanned photo of a floor plan - is pretty poor and not easy to read.

I think the first paragraph in the description sounds amateurish... "we're open 24 hours a day 7 days a week" etc, presumably you're trying to dress it up to give the impression there is some professional agency involved but that whole paragraph doesn't give the greatest of starts tbh.

This plus the shabbiness of the photos, floor plan, badly made beds etc all give the impression of being unloved, uncared for, as if there's going to be unseen problems lurking behind the photos, etc. All these small things add up together to give your potential buyers a feeling that this house is just not worth a visit.

Oh I see.

The phrase "advertise it myself" gave me the impression you had listed it yourself and written the blurb. I've Googled visum and now it makes a bit more sense (though my feelings on the wording still stand!)

I would say this property is comparable: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-51707171.html

It's the same distance to the tube, a tiny bit closer to the stations, a tiny bit bigger, looks better looked after and has a much more helpful floor plan.

Also it's offers over £600k. Yours is £715k.

And this one has been on the market for even longer...
