Rightmove Voyeurism

My Boy Harry said:
We are selling our house ATM and we have a buyer who is struggling to sell his in London and desperate to get out of our once beautiful capital. Hes leaving of course for the usual reasons ie London is a crap hole.

Anyway we have had a load of people to look at our house and it is clear that they have absolutely no intention of buying the house and simply dont have the money to buy the house. One couple turned up with 3 daughters (our house has 5 bedrooms) and a week later bought a house about £50k cheaper with less bedrooms half a mile away.

These people know how much the house is up for and they can see on line what the house is like. Maybe it makes them feel better thinking that they can buy the house.

Some of the reasons for not buying the house are laughable:

- it was a bit dark at the back when we looked at the conservatory (it was overcast and pissing down with rain) - nothing I can do about that love. Maybe ask God for climate advice?
- we want to knock a wall down to make the kitchen bigger - be my f***ing guest. Knock the house down once you have bought it. Nothing to me pet.

Some of them didnt even have their house on the market when they looked at ours.

Voyeurism is the correct term.

Edit - should also have said that all this shit about there are no houses in and around London and they all go for millions of pounds is complete rubbish. Also a number of people have totally taken the water in over BREXIT - which given the number of PC merchants and luvvies in London and the surrounding areas, isnt surprising. Put the Guardian down pet and live in the real world.

This should be on a "Nobody wants to buy my house" thread.

It certainly doesn’t need modernising. It’s beautiful and gracious and exactly what it should be. Properly furnished too. No grey paint salesmen wanted here, thank you very much!

The red and yellow rooms aren’t my taste neither are the patterned carpets . Everything else isn’t too bad

A house with large rooms like that one needs to be properly furnished and that doesn’t mean a couple of black leather settees facing an oversized tv on the wall. Nor would the room suit a beige carpet or even worse, oversized shiny white tiles, as it would just look like an empty barn. The pattern brings the room together and humanises it.

Wow. I’m not that well up on Sunderland house prices, but I’d be expecting £250k for that. The cellar perhaps bumps it up a bit, but it is fairly small inside, a small kitchen and a terrace. The garden is long but so narrow it limits its use.

It’ll be £100k. Theyve added an extra zero by accident. Surprised it hasn’t been put right yet.

Totally agree but the red and yellow could be slightly brighter tones , very dowdy looking .
Same with the carpets , much better versions without the jaded looking pattern out there .
Don’t assume everyone has grey walls and black leather sofas facing wall hung tv’s :)

Check out this property for sale on Rightmove!

Love the area but I think they've overdeveloped this one.



Nice view of the wheelie bins.

I think it's lovely, even the bath in the bedroom, but £190,000 - really? And also listings with close-up pics of flowers or coffee cups BOIL MY PISS far more than they should.

Love the top one. Disagree about the modernising - that 'lived in by the same rich family for 100 years' look is fantastic.
