Talking Things Up
9 Answers
Earlier this year, I bought a flat and a town house in the town, and I've been looking at one or two others recently.
I was initially irritated by the way that selling agents will talk things up. They show you inside what you assume is a storage cupboard, and tell you it's a study which could be used as a double bedroom. "Good sized" seems to be the most popular phrase to describe something that is minuscule. "It has a good sized garden". "Where? Beyond that tiny little courtyard, which presumably leads on to the good sized garden?"
But now ... I really enjoy it ... in fact, I love it ...
When I look at a derelict bomb site in the arse end of bandit territory, I long for the twelve year old estate agent to tell me it would benefit from minor cosmetic improvement, or that the terraced house in between a recently released murderer and someone off the Brighton sex offenders register has potential as a lovely family home.
Anyway, err ...
I've run out of steam. I can't remember my original point.
Just thought I'd mention it.
I suppose, by the same token, sections of AB where nobody ever goes (History?) might be described as having great development potential. The sections where they always fight, like R&S, would be lively and popular spots.
Stop rambling.
Okay, post or delete?

I've written and deleted several retorts to a post on news this afternoon, I have yet to post my retort.
Estate agents are a curious bunch...
I'm looking for house of this style in this part of town, my budget is £x. EA sucks teeth and tells me I won't find anything within that budget. Err thanks I've viewed three this week and have some more lined up for next week....
I looked at an 'Executive' four bed house that was so small it could not accommodate the furniture from my one bed flat.
