Is a view not worth anything these days?

Still waiting for a photo OP

I'll take a photo next time I visit mum, unless I can talk her through taking one herself and sending it to me...

Mum just sent me these photos. Quite difficult to capture a 180 degree panorama using a tablet camera. Last one is from inside the lounge.
Quite hazy today.

I would class that as a lovely view but would feel a bit robbed if I was sold that as a sea view.

I can only picture this...

Now that is lovely. And definitely worth money - I'd pay extra to look at that every morning compared to somebody elses bedroom windows just visible over the top of the garden fence.
It's like a painting, but it changes by the minute, day, season. Stick that pic in the agents details and it'll sell for more than a house without it, easy.

That's because it's low tide! Love the Salt water lagoon in the last pic


Only joshing OP it's a quality view and should add value

Funny how people want different things when they sit in the garden or look out of a window. Personally, I'd take mountains and lakes over the sea, but I'd take the sea over other people's houses. Worst view I can think of is a flat landscape. I always felt a bit jittery when I had to drive to Lincolnshire.

I wonder if it's down to where one grew up? Being from East London, I hate cityscapes from ground level. I couldn't go back to being surrounded by tall buildings and people.

Lovely view.

Yes, "across a couple of fields to the sea" was stretching it a bit. Maybe worth your mother trying to buy the field now that she's staying.

We all know that estate agents like to exaggerate a bit but I'm pretty sure that's a pond rather than a sea?

Nice view. Not really a sea one as others have noted. But nice.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I can well imagine even considering selling is tough for your mum.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Mum changed her mind again, decided to sell. She contacted one of the agents that valued it at £325k, said she would like them to try for £350k. They agreed.

She signed the paperwork 2 weeks ago, had 2 viewings. Second couple that viewed put in an offer. Bit of bartering, and she's accepted £340k.
Buyer's own house is under offer, their buyer is currently in rented, so a short chain. Target completion mid February.

Nice one, is she going to move closer to the sea?

[clockworks]

Great news re the offer. Best of luck, hope it all works out
