    Houses are selling like bread now and yours has only been listed this month! It can take few months and yours isn’t on Zoopla. That’s the main one so you need to choose a different agent. 
    sorry to disagee but id say that rightmove is bigger and ore important than zoopla
    I have a feeling that people are either one or the other.

    I didn't realise it myself until very recently.  My house isn't listed on Zoopla either! 

    I'm too old for Zoopla. It's been Rightmove forever!

    If I were marketing it, I think I would edit down the description for repetition - I got bored reading UPVC double glazing sixteen times.  If you are taking more photos, getting rid of the paint tins in the office would do no harm.  Also perhaps add an image of the workshop and dimensions, not lumping it in with the astroturf - this seems a selling point other homes don't have.

    You say the house was built about 2005, but the sale records show it as being a new build in 2014 - I wonder if some buyers might take this into account when looking at pricing.
