The exterior shot, complete with brooding skies, does have a bit of an 'Amityville' feel to it...

A concrete monster sold here where I am in 3 days.
Nothing to do with rearranging the furniture.
Everything to do with being priced correctly.

These nonsense posts encouraging new photos and rearranging the furniture followed with xxx and hugs babe, are IMO delivered by those that want to be awarded likeability points

i asked them the question: Of the people you are marketing my property to how many are cash buyers and how many are completing sales and looking for new property. Answer: 10 cash buyers and 10 completing chain. So my contact at EA has said that she will contact those 20 and see if she can get a viewing or two for me.

Now I'm a bright girl but I've read this and re-read this and I just don't get it.

We've just sold our house for asking price to the second people that came to view, and the thing that our estate agent did well in their photos and brochure, I think, was to flag up what made the house special, which was the garden and the separate studio. They said that the front of the house was rather non-descript and poky looking, and that it was crucial to make sure that people knew there was a lot round the back, or they wouldn't bother to look.

I think the estae agent here's picked up on the unique thing about the house, which is that it does have good big gardens. On the other hand, they were rather unlucky with the day that they went to photograph the garden, and it looks terribly gloomy and windswept. I wonder if the OP has any of their own photos of the garden looking sunny and spacious that the estate agent could put up instead? The lounge looks nice and light - perhaps 1 photo of sunny gardens, one of the front of the house, and one of the lounge is what they need on rightmove to get people in?

No an expert in this. I also like your house - vary spacious.



Some obsrvations on the pictures...





Picture 1 – no cars in drive and preferably camera higher up
Picture 2 – nothing on window shelf. Get rid of red and blue things in the corner
Picture 3 – good but thing just coming into frame on the left – get rid.
Picture 4 – get rid of chair and computer on left and fan in the middle.
Picture 5 – Tide up the bed and remove ALL the clutter – lion, things in window sill etc.
Picture 6 – ok.
Picture 7 – get rid of green cloth thing on left and all stuff off counter top.
Picture 8 – Nothing on window sill.
Picture 9 – good picture
Picture 10 – good picture
Pictures of sheds and other outbuildings – unless you can improve then probably best not to show them.

I'd go with all those and also note that reshooting the pictures now would be ideal as it is summer. ie: Leaves on trees, sun shining etc.

Call me slow but I just noticed the location as Barrow in Furness.

I'm aware of the market in that area and current rumor is that it has locked-up altogether. It's dangerously easy to chase the market all the way to the bottom when nothing is moving.

The only real recourse is to out-accelerate the market falls aggressively.
