This absolute madness financially.
Is the poor boy a wizard??? At least Harry Potter had a door on his cupboard, unlike Raffy. That poor child. I would be ashamed to admit my son was sleeping there.
My youngest is in a box room but it's a 3 bed. Needs must. But it's legally a bedroom AND has a door
Had a look through the estate agent pics. The state of the deck at the bottom of the garden! 
those support poles look like a serious hazard. Also that jettied window and the outdoor dining table!

It’s just so grubby and tatty. When we put our house on the market I spent a touching up chipped paint, and scrubbing everything down to show it off the best we could in photos.Had a look through the estate agent pics. The state of the deck at the bottom of the garden!
I still can’t get over how much they’ve put a 3 bed semi on the market for
They've lost 100% interest in mucky mansions. It looks soo tatty and run downHad a look through the estate agent pics. The state of the deck at the bottom of the garden!
The pompous arses thought the house would sell as soon as it went on the market but didn't factor in clever Benpeeado awful renovations have ruined/devalued that house and garden. AND, the downturn in selling your house etc.... because she's now focused on the next whim of being a travel expert with kids and the guru of world schooling. When this wanky fad runs it's course and fades. They'll be back in the UK, shacked up in the kedgefunds barn and on to the next Instagram fad
That dinosaur slumped in the corner
This is the thing, and especially with older houses renovations should be done to enhance the building not detract from it. Everything she’s done to that house has made it worse. The weird wallpapered play zone behind the sofa, Raffys cupboard, the snug being used as a buggy garage. All of these will put off buyers, and the dirty, scruffy finish is the nail in the coffin.It’s just so grubby and tatty.

You'd need a respirator to go view that dusty mould ridden house.
I imagine it stinks of damp or just general odours from the dirty floors, smelly old couches etc.
The kitchen needs ripped out and started again, the weird bathroom up from her bedroom needs ripped out, raffys bedroom isnt a bedroom so there's that too.
The flooring all needs changed on the ground floor, the house needs new windows, it needs new doors. And thats just a start. It won't sell for anywhere near what they are asking.
It must be humiliating to them to have to drop 200k

I agree with all of this. The listing and the asking price really highlight both Ben-the-expert-in-everything’s arrogance and Grabby’s delusion. All the so-called “renovations” were clearly done to follow Instagram trends... trends that were already outdated even when they moved in. That style worked in their previous house, maybe, but not here.
Still, because she got likes and followers, they probably assumed the place would sell instantly the moment it hit the market.
mats.
No one will buy that house for more than 1 million, even then it will take so much work and money to sort out that I don’t think it’ll sell at all. A quick cursory glance at the estate agent pics might draw some people in (if shabby tat is your bag) but up close in a viewing surely no one is going to make an offer. Can you imagine what a detailed survey would throw up?!
I wonder if the viewings {if they've actually had any} are by people who know of them and just wanted to have a bloody good nosey of mucky mansions in all its glory 
The description is hilarious.
“To the first floor there are three well proportioned double bedrooms, a fourth bedroom, and a well appointed four piece bathroom”
Tell me the fourth bedroom isn’t really a bedroom without telling me…
“mature and established gardens”
Whatever that means. At first I thought they were talking about the owner but established didn’t sit right. Mature, on the other hand…
“the garden is a real ‘must see’ to be fully appreciated”
We know it looks awfully messy but it’s big so you might be happy with it.
Why don’t they mention the size in the listing? What kind of trick is that?

Old houses require maintenance and love, which this house hasn’t had, it’s just full of Ben Bodges.
It could be lovely, it has so much potential and some beautiful features, it deserves to be loved and restored properly with care and attention.
As for the landing ‘bedroom’, agree Ben must have bullied the agent, I would have described it as a study/office area.
I would love to be a fly on the wall for viewings ‘where is the 4th bedroom?’ ‘Why does their child sleep on the landing instead of the bedroom?’ I’m tempted to make an appointment to just see it in the flesh and ask these questions
And I want to see the basement!

The fact that it’s been marketed as ‘near schools’ and the seller is a bonefide n0 nce has to be a joke on the agents part. Do they read? Hello estate agent 
On a very quick first glance the pics of the house look quite nice, but the moment you look a little closer you can see how poorly done and kept everything is.
They've devalued the house so much. If it had been taken care of and renovated properly by actual people that know what they're doing it could easily be worth 1.5 million or more.
The way it is at the moment full of Ben's bodged projects and Becky's (lack of) hygiene standards, I'd be surprised if it sells for over a million, and it will be bought by someone very wealthy who intends to completely gut the house and start again. Despite already relisting for 200k less I still think they'll need to reduce it significantly again.

I mean they should have done this before listing it, really. It would make much more sense. Turn the "nursery" into either an office space or a big dressing, put Raffy in a real bedroom. Make the living room a fully "grown up space" and move both living and kitchen play "areas" in the snug by turning it into a real playroom.
Remove those cluttered "craft trolleys" from the dining area. Basically get rid of tons of their hoarder crap and touch up all the chipped paint, etc...
Oh and lower the price even more. Then maybe they'll sell.
The house is a sh*thole and they're totally delusional if they think people wont see it.
