Hints and tips please. We have had over twenty viewings but no-one has made an offer for our quirky Cornish cottage with a sizeable garden, down a steep and narrow lane. We put out clean white towels and polish the shower doors. All is tidy and the garden neat and colourful but, though they all admire our it they don't make an offer. Do you think the garden puts people off. When we bought it in 1986 lots of others wanted it. It has been on the market for 3 weeks.

I just had another thought about photos. I have noticed on rightmove etc that photos are stretched to make the rooms look spacious which only leads to disappointment.
It might be an idea to get the photos taken on a beautiful day showing the house at its best.
Looking in estate agents windows today, there are still photos of snow and ice!
My DS had to make his agent redo the online brochure as it didn't make the house look appealing. It worked for him and he got his first offer.
