Tony Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 That garage seals the deal for me..... Nice find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Had some like that before. Some people just don't take into consideration the composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 It will never sell without the plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 You'd think they'd take one of the whole kitchen, not just abit of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Really don't get why agents don't invest in wide angle lenses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 It would certainly be a start but I think this was taken on a compact or even camera phone, although it doesn't say in the EXIF data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Not really had any bad ones until today. How lazy, can't even open the door/window to take the photo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Haha, quite a nice garden too so would have made quite a difference! I guess part of it is stuff is selling regardless right now, so it's all about getting stuff on the market asap than worrying too much about presentation!

Rich Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Presentation is everything though, some of these agents just don't give a toss. You wanna see how many adverts get sent to me (that they've done), which have endless spelling mistakes or so much text you can't even read it. The templates are designed to reduce the size of the text the more you put in. The trouble is it reflects on us as well cos readers will think we've done the work and not the agent themselves.

super josh Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Not really had any bad ones until today. How lazy, can't even open the door/window to take the photo!! Garden.JPG It always amazes me how many vendors don't even tidy up there house. Why would you want it photographed with chairs strewn across the lawn and washing on the line. Don't people realise that this is the biggest investment that most people make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 It offers poor presentation for sure.... I must say the agents that sold my house went the opposite way and made it look glorious despite i wanted it to be advertised in it's true condition "very tired".

Rich Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 They really made the effort with this one, even captured their reflection! Why not show the whole block rather than the door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Think you should rename this thread to "how intelligent are estate agents"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I must admit when my house was photographed they did a great job since i wasn't warned they were going to take any at that point so i hadn't tidied up..... Whereas some of these images are absolutely dire..... I think i would drop the agent as soon as i saw the prospective images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 You'd think they'd make more of an effort - open the curtains to let some light in, take the coffee cup and remote off the sofa and is that damp in the corner? This house is for sale in Tottenham at £360,000!! I'm sure they could've taken a more inviting photo and this is their 'feature' property Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 That doesn't look too inviting! It's amazing how anything can sell now, they don't need to make any effort as within a few days most likely it'll be gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Looks like a right dump and 360k for a rabbit hutch, with damp!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 It's London though Tony! I'm just watching homes under the hammer. A guy bought a garage between 2 terraced houses in Haringey (next to Tottenham) for £83k. He then spent £100k building a tiny house in the space, which they just valued at £300k! Crazy!

Tony Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 That's crazy money....... Didn't we go through all that before in the last housing boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Imagine waking up in the morning and looking out the bedroom window to see people staring in over the hedge:- http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/fullscreen/image-gallery.html?propertyId=43509520&photoIndex=3# You may need to cut and paste the link as it doesn't seem to work for me.

Rich Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 No privacy in that garden and it looks a mess but at least they took a decent photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Agreed....... What a dive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
