or when they only do a photo of the garden shed, and bathroom taps and no photos of anything else :sneaky:


but i am totally amazed at how good E.A are at taking photos of properties and making them look good - there must be a course that they do .........

because what you see is not always what you get :eek:

:lol: They sure are - some of the kitchen cabinets look very dodgy. I always look for curving walls, too.

So the moral of the story is, I guess - do NOT rent a place unseen, even if somebody will let you. Other than a short term/holiday let, of course.
