Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Apr 26, 2008 8:32 pm I had a phone call from the lady who we bought our house from tonight. She was going to get back to me with the paint colours of the feature walls.
Unfortunately she didnt know them and the painter couldnt remember them. One good thing, she invited me over next week to show me how some things work, and had offered for me to take the appliance manuals home to 'study'.. What I really want to do is get in there and take some photos....do you think that may be a little rude? I cant wait to get in to have another look!! Paula Re: Phone call from owner 3Apr 26, 2008 8:42 pm Your house is going on the market soon...how do you think you'd respond to the same request ? ? ?
The purchaser of our house (an English couple) asked whether they could bring their daughter (visiting from England) to the house. It was organised to suit our timing and I didn't mind the visit and we had a good chat ... If they would have asked to take general photos I probably would have objected as a lot more stuff was visible then what was on the agent photos ..... if the request would have been in the context of the color scheme I might have been OK about this. Considering she's letting you in early, giving you the manuals, I probably wouldn't push it....but that's just me...I think you'll find equal division on this one It's only 22 sleeps.... mmm....donuts Homer Simpson 1956- Links: Site Costs Ready Reckoner | H1 Addiction Medical Advice | Château TDL: The Backyard Re: Phone call from owner 4Apr 26, 2008 8:50 pm Quote: if the request would have been in the context of the color scheme I might have been OK about this. Considering she's letting you in early, giving you the manuals, I probably wouldn't push it... Ok point taken...I might just ask if I could take a photo or 2 of the feature walls in the kids bedroom...I want to match bedlinen!! Quote: hy dpnt you take over some paint swatches to try and match the colors. thats not a bad idea, she did say that after I'd seen them I could go to dulux and try to find the colour (its a suede effect), but I think that will be like looking for a needle in a haystack!! Best to arm myself with some swatches in the colours I 'think' they are. (only seen them twice). Paula Re: Phone call from owner 5Apr 26, 2008 9:10 pm Isn't it funny - I don't think it is rude at all to take photos, all going well you are buying the house (or you have already purchased!) so isn't it technically yours (well good enough anyway )
What would be the reasons she (or anyone) would object to you taking photos? I'm generally interested.... I personally would have no problem with it, but maybe I am very casual about these sorts of things... You could always take your mobile and take '**' photos Either way I want some more photos of that gorgeous house!!

What can I say I am a 'regular' James Bond Or just a big sticky beak I'm with you Bel, pretend I'm attached to the mobile like its my life line, and all the time be snapping away!! No really I will just ask her straight out, by then I will only have two weeks to go and I will butter her up with the money for the bar stools she has offered for us to buy off her!! "by the way here is the money in advance for the bar stools, now would you mind if I just took a few pics of those feature walls?"
