Personally use Zoopla for valuations and historical sales and Rightmove for sales.5

I don't think the outside photo of the house does you any favours, I'd ask the agent to retake that one from an angle to show the front door and make it look a little more interesting.The lack of a floorplan in this day and age is silly- they do them with the EPCs, thrown in. No photos with wide angle lens, so it looks small, and no floorplans to refer back to would take it straight of my list. The decor looks alright, it's the terrible photos. Does it have a front door?It's all very well some agent charging .5%, but decent marketing with a good agent working to achieve the best price will get more than that from a buyer.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

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.4 bed, Detached
£199,950 20 Nov 2014(New Build) Freehold No other historical records
