Bright blue skies and fluffy clouds in property photos! Ha!

To be fair, a fish-eye lens does allow you to see more of the room or space in question. Most estate agents now use specialist software that removes the "fishiness" of the fish-eye - see e.g. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adaptive-wide-angle-filter.html
As far as I can tell this software is used by most estate agents/photographers now. You can notice it, for example, if the alcoves either side of a chimney breast (which are usually the same size) appear to be quite different in the photo.
All in all, I think the benefit of having more information in the photo outweighs the risk of a buyer being misled.
Ultimately it is always best to view anyways, but it makes it hard when you have to shortlist a few if you can't see all of them"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

Er, it's Britain, I find it quite amusing the estate agents use this in their property photos
Looks out of window.....sees bright blue skies and fluffy clouds. Scotland in January :snow_grinGive a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day.
But give a man a fishing rod, and he'll sell it and buy alcohol.0 -
I just laugh when I see the same cloud formation in photos of two different aspects, or even two different houses ...:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls
