World Cup flags get the red card for home sales
Amidst football fever, festooning your home with the national flag may show your support for the team, but our survey ranks national sporting flags in second place for property “faux pas”, compared to the same survey in 2005, where national sporting flags ranked a mere sixth place in terms of the visual factors most likely to put off buyers.
Women are far more likely to disapprove of homes with sporting flags than men. Wealthier households (income greater than £60,000) are more than twice as likely to frown upon sporting flags as households with incomes under £30,000.
Warren Bright, Chief Executive Officer of propertyfinder.com says,
Women are the referees - when it comes to buying a home - so it’s essential that sellers don’t neglect the finer points when presenting their homes to appeal to the female buyers. If they don’t, they risk losing the sale.Is football fever festooning your neighbourhood or do you think football flats are causing difficulties selling your property? We'd love to hear about what is happening where you live.
