I tend to look at the photos before the description and had to go to the small print to confirm that two of the photos are deliberately fake!

I wonder how much the EAs charge for this wonderful service: 

Virtual staging & refurbishment is a digital technique wherein computer-generated furniture, decor, and other elements are added to the images, creating an aesthetically pleasing representation of the property. This process allows potential buyers to envision the possibilities and imagine the furnished layout of the home.

Or even if there is an estimate of how much value "will be added" if you grab this opportunity?

I can't see this being popular with buyers who only have the funds to 'move in and live with it'.  Very misleading.

It's horrible but inevitable. I was house hunting in another country, and on their "Rightmove" you often see very realistic images of a property, and then at the end a shabby exterior shot where you realise every other pic is a photoshop.

I can’t really see it, but I’ll bow to your knowledge 😊

Human nature innit.  Also, what I learned last time I sold, a couple of years ago, is EA are big on algorithms, stats, etc.  They will know exactly if such enhanced properties achieves more hits on line, viewings etc and from the stuff they showed me it is clear that people are pulled in by such.

As long as it's not just threads like this providing the uplift!

Although it has off road parking, I can't imagine a large queue of people eager to spend £500K on a bungalow with a completely overlooked garden and having to go through the living area to get to the bathroom from the bedroom

Here's the thing as well, go one or two stops outward on the same line as the not so nearby station and you could have a proper 2 terraced bedroom (non new build) house for the same money and  a nicer garden.
