Feedback on our property

I think you need to get the EA round (or instruct another one) to take better pictures as these make your house look small, cramped and dark which doesn't help to market it to it's best potential. There's a lot of clutter which also feeds into the "this house is small" thinking. Have to echo the comments about the garden as well, that could be a major sticking point for a family home if it is the whole garden.

Good luck with your sale, it's not easy out there at the moment!

Often the real problem with lack of offers/viewings isn't the decor or photos, it is the actual house size and layout, which can't be altered!

In your case, for a 3 bed house, the kitchen and living area seem rather small.

Can you get into the utility area without going outside? If you do have to go outside do you have to use the patio doors to get to the utility area?


Am I right in assuming that the garage is not in your garden and the area surrounding it at the back is a communal parking area for the terraced houses?

Ha! There’s a lot less clutter than there was!
You do have to go outside to get to the utility area, out the patio doors.
Yes the garden is tiny but we’ve made the most of it by decking so it can be used more.
Our garage is in the garden, to the side. At the back is parking for the terrace yes.
Thank you to everyone who has given useful feedback.

We can easily get 2 cars on the drive. It’s a semi detached, listed officially as that. To the side is the access for the car park out the back.

It may be listed as semi detached and it may have been sold to you as semi detached but that doesn't mean that someone who wants a semi detached will look at your house. To be a semi detached it has to be detached on one side from the property next door and yours isn't. Your house is joined onto the garage which is joined onto the house next door. So that makes it a terraced house whatever it was sold to you as and whatever you have listed it as.



This is a semidetached. Notice that although the garage is on the side of the house there is a gap between it and the house beyond. The wall of the garage is detached from the house next door.

If someone wants a house like the ones in the examples above they aren't going to look at yours. Someone who wants a terraced might though.

What do you mean? There isn't some official certifier of what is or isn't semi-detached.

The house seems a little overpriced.
