Nine months on the market and not a single offer. Could the busy road and noisy trucks be putting buyers off, or maybe it’s the outdated 80’s décor? One thing’s for certain, Tom’s Botany cottage isn’t selling. He bought the two bedroom house with his first wife ten years ago. Sadly, she passed away and Tom found new love with Teresa. They want to make a fresh start in Tasmania, they’ve sold their printing business but until the house goes, they’re going nowhere. Can Andrew’s expert eye help buyers see past the busy road and rumbling trucks? It’s not going to be easy.

How Andrew kept his temper with this couple is beyond me. Their unwillingness especially (Tom) to see how their house compared to other similarly prices and situated homes drove me crazy.

Renovation was very effective, good on ya guys! However I just wanted to comment on Andrew Winter's generalisation of Botany being an industrial area. The house they presented was on the busiest road, ie Botany Rd and so is unfortunately located in an area where there are many trucks passing by the hour. But it must be noted that when you enter the streets of residential Botany, you are captivated by the cleanliness of the tree-lined landscapes and parks galore. Botany is the oldest suburb in Australia and it definitely has come a long way!
