marbleapple Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Nice house! I have one suggestion... I would try change the photo of 'bedroom with a lovely view'. It looks a little dark... perhaps when the sun is at that side of the house take another photo to show it in its best light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 thanks for the suggestion yep is been a cool place to live -but trust me the next one will be mind blowing (CR) your help appreciated Rich:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4 CHR Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I would change the pictures. You don't seem to be showing the potential of each room in the photos, they just don't show that much of the house. I'm not keen on the picture from the back door - a little random or the stairs that one doesn't show anything of value. Also move the cars from the front of the house it looks crowded for the picture. From your main picture the house looks fab good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and1c Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Looks good but I agree the pictures need updating. i would: Remove cars from the picture of the front of the house (only take them on a sunny day like today) Trim the green plant stuff back on the house wall as its covering part of a window and will be reducing light Borrow a wide angled camera and redo the pics..its very hard to get the true size of a room into a picture and using an average digital camera its next to impossible IME Only have 1 pic of each aspect (eg. theres two of the house front, one with poor light and the other very light but w cars in it) I would show pictures of Kitchen, front aspect of house, rear aspect of house bathroom, 3 main bedrooms (doubles only), Lounge Garden etc Looks a nice and unique house as well. good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Get the cars off the front, or at least show only one, with the bonnet shut Looks a nice pad! Good luck with the sale, so what's this new place you refer to then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 De-clutter and retake a photo of each room; consider 'dressing' the rooms; putting out 'fresh towels' / 'decorative cushions', vase of flowers or whatever that's supposed to be about. It might make the rooms look more homely and hopefully bigger; they seem small (they may well be but if somene is turned away by the photos they'll never know if they'd have liked it in real life. Any way of taking a wider angle if you're only getting a small amount of the room in each shot? Get rid of the cars; apart from blocking the view of the house, it's clear that they have to hang out onto the road, which would put me off. Finally, and you won't like this; consider staying ahead of the price drop curve by lowering your price a chuck if youre currently up for current 'market value'. it will take a LOT to persuade most people to buy now that prices are falling through the floor; your choice may be to drop the price now and sell, or keep following that price curve down as it reflects current market value - but most likely not getting a sale. All of the above are just my opinion, but especially the house price drops one - feel free to take them or leave them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Wow, 5 bedroom detached house with .7 of an acres for only £385,000. You would just about get a dingy 3 bed semi in beaconsfield for that. Looks loverly Rich, maybe a few more pics of the Garden, must be cool having fox cubs in the garden:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 There is nothing cool whatsoever with foxes of any age in the garden, unless they are buried deep Chris! lol Rich Rest of you, some nice comments will work on it - and yes I will probably need to drop price a bit. Got two more vluations by the end of the week so will have a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I honestly have no idea on what price is/isn't good; in fact I didn't even look how much yours was advertised for as I don't know the area or the house. I was just saying to sell right now, in my opinion because I see prices falling a long way and because sentiment is currently largely against house buying, sellers need to stay ahead (i.e. below) the alledged "current market value" of their properties, in order to attract potential serious buyers.

stevie_b Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just a small comment from me: in the picture of the shower room, remove the towel from the WC cistern. It gives the impression (rightly or wrongly) that you're short of towel hanging space. Easy enough for someone to fix, but can put people off. First impressions and all that....
