Jackson-Stops in Newmarket has removed an image from a listing for a Grade II listed house overlooking Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire – after accepting that it edited the picture to delete the parking bays in front of the cottage.
Can you spot the differences?!
Before editing:
After:
A spokesperson from Jackson-Stops Newmarket, told the press: “This was an error that does not align with our high standards for transparency in property marketing. The image has been removed from the listing.
“We have reinforced our image guidelines with our team and implemented additional review processes to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”
Palace Green Cottage, an 18th century four-bedroom house in Church Lane in view of the iconic 11th century cathedral and Oliver Cromwell’s 17th century house, has been put on the market for the first time in 100 years at an asking price of £895,000.
They aren’t the same picture though? Even ignoring the fact that they removed the cars and the drainage gully, they are taken from completely different angles and distances. I’m no good at photoshop or any type of editing software, but I don’t think it can create the front of the black-and-white house… Although I would have expected the church to be larger in the ‘edited’ picture, but it seems smaller?
Regardless, bad marketing practices.
