This Limahl-inspired house for sale music video is Rightmove’s most unexpected treat
When you’re looking to sell your house these days, the ‘walk through’ video has become an integral part of what the estate agents put online.
Only problem is these videos are invariably accompanied by an irritating commentary or abysmal library music.
Not this one though, oh no. Because the people selling this particular property – The Laurels in Watling Street, Leighton Buzzard, in Bedfordshire – have taken the walk through video in a whole new direction.
Specifically, inspired by Limahl’s soundtrack to The Never Ending Story and you’ve never seen anything quite like it.
Now it’s gone viral on Twitter after it was shared by @SarahDuggers.
Oh my god. The video. https://t.co/Dk7dEs0kQZ

Would describe this existence of this video as a Bad Economic Indicator. No healthy housing market produces this.

Then I’m glad this is the financial cesspit we live in, Charlotte. Glad.

Holy shit!!!!
And how she didn’t get ‘Major A Road 6 feet from your sofa’ in there is beyond me; it fits so well…

She addresses the road in the song, Tony. Can’t believe you didn’t watch it all.

What “stranger thing have happened in this spacious master room?” You can’t just put that out there and then move on to the garden!

I want to buy the house and have the song played every morning like I’m in the LEGO movie

It’s the moment when she tells you not to worry about the road by showing you what appears to be a dead body. Genius.
