A question about : No Viewings on house in 2 Mths

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-...-32892258.html

Can anyone tell me what is offputting about these property particulars?
I have not had a viewing in 2 mths of being on rightmove but others have sold.

Best answers:

  • Picture 1 No fence/wall between you and neighbour.
    Picture 3 Sofa facing blank wall / no focal point
    Many windows no curtains/ blinds.
    Empty room .................
  • Price, which others sold for what?
  • The empty rooms need furniture in, even if to make it look homely temporarily to get people through the door.
    Aside from the outside being quite plain I think the house looks really nice.
    Price-wise you also look expensive. Brand-new ones up for Ј425k in the local area plus this one (which is ugly and dated) is detached and a similar size for a cheaper price: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-...-48872534.html
  • kitchen looks really nice.
    Those HUGE trees in the back garden make it look dark and shaded.
    Living room looks odd.
    First picture doesn't look very inviting - no fence separating it from neighbours property, snd very concretey.
    Seems quite expensive for a semi.
  • The living room looks long and thin and the sofa is facing a blank wall.
    I don't think the photo makes it look homely or very livable in.
    Sorry, but that pic alone would put me off.
    None of the photos are particularly flattering really, maybe some new ones are required
  • The problem is the poor presentation. Hire a house dresser. I wouldn't know where to start trying to explain the problems to you.
  • Reading the description, this says to me that I'm going to have to rip out and replace the bathroom straight away:

  • Rather expensive compared to other 3 bed semi's in a 3 mile radius.
    Photo's don't do the property any favours. Picture of the stairs makes them look very steep.
    Large conifers round back garden a big minus. Strange layout of furniture in living room.
    OTOH kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom look nice.
    If you are not getting viewing at all problem is likely to be price.
  • The living room is laid out very oddly; sofa and armchair at one end, tv all the way at the other. It makes me think there isn't space for a more comfortable set up, and that's quite offputting.
    It doesn't look particularly inviting to be honest, I couldn't picture myself living there because it doesn't seem very homely.
    And picture 14: I think your estate agent fancies himself as M.C.Esher!
  • The living room is the biggest problem I'd say. Its long and thin and its difficult to imagine how you could furnish it so that the whole space would be usable and comfortable.
    Also, the sofa in the dining room is a bit odd, would anyone ever sit on it? It'd look better as a nicely presented dining area with a bigger table.
  • Most of the properties are 'Open plan' around here but I have oft wondered if that would help. I dont actually live there (i use it on&off) hence the lack of furniture - I live alone, likewise curtains blinds Etc.
    Price is on par. At the lower end of tired 4 bed detached with no garden Etc and in a particularly good area. (Near train, bus, schools & shops but still quiet cul-de-sac)
    Thanks for compliment SC. The building to left of that house you spotted is a 'presently being developed' secondary school. 3000 pupils.
    So nothing TOO detrimental then. I wonder if a change of agent will do it but they all use Rightmove so.....?
  • So you paid 215k end of 2007, have you turned it from a 2/3 bed into a 4 bed or was it already like that when you bought it?
    Maybe people are looking at the Zoopla estimate of Ј270331 and wondering why you want Ј110,000 more. I don't pay too much attenetion to Zoopla estimates but some do!
  • Pic 2 confuses me. Do you have a block of flats at the end of your garden?!?
  • Looks like 6 different people have had a go at decorating it.
  • As other comments re living room set up
    Kitchen looks great
    Remove picture 14 - for both vertigo reasons and also looks more of a problem than it might be for anyone who may struggle with mobility issues
