Buyers spot hilarious fail in Rightmove home listing – and it’s impossible not to spot

A FOUR-BEDROOM property in Dunfermline, is making the internet laugh for all the wrong reasons.

The Rightmove home has gone viral for photoshopping cars to a listing photo that look like they’ve been “stuck on with Pritt Stick.”

A living room with a purple wall, fireplace, floral couches, and a patterned rug.

What was meant to advertise a family home has instead become an internet meme.

On the market for £295,000 the house should be inviting and comforting but the listing makes it hard to see past the comedic value.

Instead, the photos look like a school art project.

The cars have been awkwardly stuck on the image to look as though they are “parked” on the driveway.

The photo, presumably there to show the spaciousness of the driveway, has done its job however.

The Emoov agent told Metro that the vendor had organised “quite a few viewings” off the back of the listing.

One social media user even noted: “Room for 4 or 5 cars but they only photoshopped 3 in!”

A kitchen with white cabinets, a black counter, and a table with a bowl of dried fruit.

The photographs of the interior are so saturated that the glow almost makes them look like stills from a video game.

Another person joked that the photos themselves “look like they were taken on a Game Boy,” in reference to the low-resolution, pixelated quality of some shots.

Reddit commenters called it “the worst Photoshop effort I’ve seen on Rightmove.”

Others compared the images to a “Sims build gone wrong.”

Each photograph showcases another bizarre detail, turning what should be a standard property listing into a hilarious set of meme-worthy pictures.

Rather than envisioning their future in living in the home, viewers are laughing at stuck on cars, gleaming interiors, and grainy, Game Boy–style images.

The Scottish property proves that in the age of social media, sloppy picture editing will get far more views than the actual listing.

A spokesperson for Emoov said: “As an online estate agent, our vendors manage their own property sale—conducting viewings and creating their listings.

“Unless vendors choose our professional photography package, the photos are taken (and, as in this case, edited) by the sellers themselves.

“The images in question were supplied entirely by the vendor and not produced by Emoov.

“Vendors are free to use whichever images they prefer, however creative they choose to be.

“It seems this vendor enjoyed a weekend of virtual arts and crafts and decided to put the results on display!”

Whether or not the comical advertising works and property eventually finds a buyer, this house will be remembered and laughed about for a long time.

This comes following last month’s Open House Festival during which Rightmove opened the doors to some of London’s most interesting and aesthetic houses.

Each year, over 700 properties, buildings and other sites of architectural significance across London’s 33 boroughs open their doors with many said to be a “once in a lifetime visit”.

Shein files for Hong Kong IPO to speed up London listing, FT reports

Fast fashion giant Shein has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

The Chinese-founded, Singapore-based retailer privately filed a draft prospectus last week with Hong Kong’s exchange (HKEX) and sought the blessing of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

The application is a means for Shein to increase pressure on UK regulators as it seeks approval for its London listing. The firm filed to list in the UK capital around 18 months ago, but has since struggled to obtain the green light.

Chinese and UK regulators have notably failed to agree on the language included in the risk disclosure section of its prospectus, particularly where this relates to human rights abuses.

Shein faces claims that it sources cotton from China’s Xinjiang region, where the US and NGOs have accused the Chinese government of forced labour and human rights abuses targeting Uyghur people.The US banned imports from the area in 2021.

In January, Yinan Zhu, a senior lawyer representing Shein, refused to say whether the firm was using cotton from Xinjiang when questioned by UK lawmakers on the Business and Trade committee.

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority approved a version of Shein’s prospectus earlier this year, but it wasn’t accepted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Hong Kong’s exchange is expected to be more flexible than its UK counterpart when it comes to risk descriptions, although FT sources noted that London would still be the preferred listing location.

Shein had originally sought to list in New York, although changed its plans in response to significant political opposition in the US, linked to its labour practices as well as national security concerns.

Financially, Shein’s IPO would provide a boost to the London market that has seen a number of recent defections. Delisted firms include Just Eat Takeaway, Wise, Ashtead and Flutter Entertainment.

According to data from Dealogic, IPO fundraising in the UK market fell to at least a 30-year low in the first half of this year.

Euronews has reached out to Shein for further comment.
