Compact and bijou as we all know means
- extremely small and elegant. The reason for this parlance is to
cover the fact that the property must be well over priced and the
buyer Benefits from
“arguably” nothing. This use
of the Estate Agents Dictionary just adds to the apprehension and
mistrust of the buyer.
On one house viewing in Cowes Isle of
Wight – several years ago. We were particularly drawn to a property
via the Estate Agents description and within our budget. The main
focus being that it needed up grading, had a large garden and sea
views.
When we arrived we agreed – the place did need reforming. We were dishearten by the fact that the large garden was the sole access for the other houses on this side of the street, but what really blew the deal was the sea views.
The bedroom to the rear of the property
had a mirror stuck on the window reveal and if you looked at it you
called just see the sea. The bathroom window had a VW beetle mirror
stuck on the reveal – Presumably, just in case you get caught short
for a view.No wonder people disbelieve from the disposition of some Estate Agents. Another encounter with an Estate Agent, this time, in France – I was skeptical from the beginning...
