Why oh why don't people just declutter at least a little bit before photos

The owners/tenants knew a few days beforehand when the EA was coming to take photos for their property's listing. 

Why would tenants give two hoots about it (assuming they even got that amount of warning)?

Only if they want to be released early from a lease and can do so if a sale progresses quickly.

I sympathise with those who find it hard to declutter, especially people who have a lot of ‘collections’. What I don’t understand is why people wouldn’t do a few basic things like close the toilet lid, put away clothes and so on. I viewed a property on Saturday, the Vendor was in the house and went and sat in the garden during the viewing. Fair enough, although I was surprised that she had left the TV on – she obviously didn’t expect me to be there very long! “Have a look in the ensuite” the estate agent advised.  Not only was the toilet lid up, she had omitted to flush it after use. 😱

Different people have different definitions of what constitutes clutter. Based on comments I've read on this forum there are some people who seem to think a room that contains any more than essential furniture is cluttered whereas I find such rooms sterile and boring.

From the EA “ The owners trade a well-established day nursery located across the road enjoying a semi-rural location and a beautifully landscaped plot. The nursery is still active and only a stone’s throw away.”

I know expectations of EA's characters are low, but surely advocating violence against infants is a new low...

Seems relatively cheap starting price for the  size, the cost of renovation would be millions, I imagine.

Kinmel Hall was identified by the Victorian Society as one of the top ten at-risk Victorian and Edwardian buildings in 2015.[12][13]
In early 2021 the “Kinmel Resurrection” campaign began with the aim of shaming its owners into either explaining their intentions, fully restoring it or selling it on. The campaign also aims to put pressure on Conwy Council and the Welsh government into helping to preserve the building.[9] Conwy Council has placed an injunction to prevent “unauthorised” work on the site and is exploring further action.[9] The hall was put up for sale in April 2021, with a guide price of £750,000.[14]
Architecture and description[edit]
An example of a calendar house, it has 965 windows, 600 rooms and 12 entrances.[15][16]
The 1870s structure is an example of the myriad of new types of buildings that were arising during the Victorian era to fulfil increasingly specialised functions. For example, there was a room in the mansion that was only to be used for the ironing of newspapers, so that the ink would not come off on the reader's hands.[17] The building featured a number of mechanical innovations that once powered both a lift and a fountain. There is an ornate oak fireplace in the library, which was damaged during a break-in 2013.[9]
The house is set in walled gardens of around 18 acres (73,000 m2), which are themselves set in grounds of around 5,000 acres (20 km2), encompassing open fields, parkland and forests.[9]
