I think unusual means, it's unusual to have a front garden on that road.

Personally, I would never allow an agent that can't get a floorplan to work on Rightmove to sell my £15,000,000 house.
Would many people who are genuinely looking to buy a £15m house be bothering to look at Rightmove?

It needs messed about with but a proper garage & a lovely "barn". Its proximity to the M74 is the only drawback

And/or allowing themselves to be permanently dissuaded from pursuing a property on the back of a floor plan not working in Rightmove?

(It works fine for me, btw. Is the perceived not work centred on all floors appearing as one page? You can get a bigger version on Knight Frank's own site)

Lovely place, regardless.

That is indeed a very stylish London house but being pedantic I have to point out it's been posted before wink

That's London for you but be honest, what would you expect the street to look like? That's actually not that bad and Putney's not a bad area.

p.s. property in question is on the left.

I wouldn't look at them if there wasn't a brochure and the full plan is on the brochure. Download that, they don't need one on Rightmove.

The perceived "not work" is that when you follow the link on Rightmove (in either IE or Chrome) it doesn't scale or expand and any dimensions or legend are completely illegible. So it does not work biglaugh Maybe you can go to KF web site but it's lazy, shoddy work on the part of the agent.

Also something like this is not bad.

I wasn't being entirely serious.

It does bug me, though.

It's just an annoying quirk of Rightmove's uploading facility that isn't really optimised for large files. They compress the images to such an extent that when re-enlarged a lot of detail is lost. Rightmove's systems aren't really optimised for the needs of the high end agents' needs. It can be done differently but that can be equally messy and problematic in other ways and these agencies, on the whole, don't rely quite so much at this level on Rightmove as do other agencies.

FWIW this floor plan can be seen on other portals as intended.

Good for the home games though. It is on my list! 😊

One vehemently hopes that you mean the less successful, but classier original football club in Fulham, rather than the tawdry, flashy squatters?

One assumes you mean the team who play in front of a Bishop's park rather than a shed! hehe

The traffic is so st around Fulham/Chelsea/Wandsworth/Putney it would genuinely put me off living there. Which is a bit hypocritical as I live in Clapham. It took me 30 minutes today to go along Upper Richmond Road, it should take 10 mins.

Bishop's Palace, old boy, but yes, that's the gist.

Out of interest, how do agents get the aerial shots? Helicopter? Crane? Massive step ladders?
As others have said - I can confirm - my friend has a drone business. In his case he uses an octocopter drone.

Thanks for the info everyone, ive always been curious about that. It seems so obvious now!

  • Goes to look for drones on ebay...
