Dont judge a book by its cover

Who would have thought from the outside how lovely the inside is.


I am really envious of people who just seem to know how to create a 'look' that appeals.

    What "look?" I would have to completely redecorate the interior of that house. The wallcovering all clash and the patterns on the curtains are just horrible. Plus the garden is a mess.

    Anyone can make their house look like that, if they spend enough money in Habitat.

    My sister lives near Durham & i've driven past a few of that type of property - often wondered how poky they were inside - not as small as I thought!

    Not for me sadly ... the colour scheme is totally wrong for my tastes , not that anything I like is remotely relevant as cosmetics will probably change by the new owner anyway ..

    I know where, what I need.. how a house presents is not even on my list hence I always want a floorpan on listings before I even view

    They've got the fridge and freezer in the porch - suggests there's not much room in the kitchen, or it's very badly planned.

    And why did they waste money converting the loft without building regs?

    any potential buyer needs to remember that the expensive furniture will go with the seller, the mess of a garden will remain...
