Country estate agents are often equally adept at over-varnishing the truth.
‘I recently viewed a house described as a “wonderful renovation project in a tranquil location” which turned out to be in the middle of five fields full of inquisitive cows with no vehicular access,’ says Carol Peett, a search agent with West Wales Property Finders who makes it her business to decipher the truth from the puff in sales particulars.
‘My advice if you are looking in the countryside is to check an area on Google Earth if you don’t know it before visiting. Quiz the agent thoroughly on the location before booking a viewing’.
‘For online agents, complete the message box asking for the precise location of the house and ask whether there are any commercial premises nearby. Particularly look out for pig farms, a railway line or noisy pub’.
‘And be firm — saying that you will not confirm a viewing until your queries have been answered.’
