    One thing made me laugh. We had an EA say they couldn't describe our floor as real wood because he had no evidence and it may be a property misdescription. When asked what he would say - he would put laminate! LOL. A complete misdescription!
    I am really sorry but this one has made me laugh out loud, thank you so much for that.:rotfl:

    Non-estate location - it's on a main road.
    Close to local amenities - a flat over a kebab shop.
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    Well presented = full of little ornaments
    Period features = toilet outside the house, woodworm everywhere
    Recently installed luxury kitchen = vendor stuck in 3k kitchen to extract a further 10k from sucker buyer
    Much sought-after location = we sold a house there before, once.

    A bit OT, but the words 'stunning' and 'luxury' are well over-used, especially when it comes to selling new-builds.

    Also, estate agents' use of grammar is terrible. For instance, why do they all advertise property as 'two bedroomed flat/house' when it is correct to say 'two-bedroom flat/house'? Badly educated twerps. :rolleyes:
