    None of this surprises me, the people we sold to would have murdered their grandmother for a tenner, they were that tight.

    Which just makes it even more likely that they've used a cheap list-on-RM-and-field-calls-only online agent, so the vendor's supplied the pics themselves.

    <shrug> They'll find the place more difficult to sell than if they'd tidied it up and used accurate pics. Is that enough of a karmic slap on the wrist to satisfy your sense of outraged injustice?

    Well it's already sold, so the lucky buyer obviously didn't mind that the house was vastly different from the pics.

    Just goes to show how irrelevant the pics were.

    I would consider the use of pictures taken years ago as 'misrepresentation' of the true facts.

    If I was the buyer and it looked so different, I would walk out of principle, or a large discount at the least

    Does it really matter? Whoever bought it wouldn't be having your furniture, or the current vendors furniture in the property. They're buying the house, not it's contents.

    Are the RM details stating furniture included?

    I think you misunderstood my point.
