If you are in any doubt about how your customers view this then have a look at the comments below that I found on the internet…..!
“When my house was on the market, it was described as being continently placed for the town centre.”
No, I was not impressed, and no, The house didn’t sell:”“There is a sign that says viewing strictley by appointment outside a house near us which annoys me every time I walk past it!”
It’s probably a sign that I’ve been browsing too long but if I have to read “shower cubical” one more time….”
Safety first!
After running a spellcheck reread the copy ……ensure that “trough” was not meant to be “through”!
Triple check that words such as their, they’re and there, your, you are and you’re and except/accept are correct.
Grammar is also important……
“Listed building with modern features won’t last long.”
This sentence implies that it’s about to collapse, rather than that the home won’t be on the market long for the price it’s listed at!
