PICTURE OF THE WEEK.

No agent would say taking pictures of properties is easy. Bad weather, poor light, impossible angles, uncooperative vendors, untidy rooms. They can all conspire to make presenting many homes a challenge.

And then there are the problems of marketing new homes. Developers are super keen to have them sold as soon as possible, and ideally before they’re finished to keep their balance sheets healthy.

This was the problem faced by an agent in Kings Lynn who, on arrival on site, found a huge portable toilet in front of the property and, given the day’s busy schedule and its weight, had no choice but to snap – we assume.

The resulting photograph did not go unnoticed online. A local fitness trainer and, presumably house hunter too, spotted the photo on Rightmove and alerted The Negotiator via Twitter.

For those who can see past the oddly Tardis-like urinal parked in the drive, agent William H Brown is selling a brand new three bedroom semi for £177,500, part of a development of 14 similar homes near in the northern outskirts of Kings Lynn marketed squarely at first time buyers.
