The transform we argue with you about
Every other tool in this category will re-floor a kitchen, repaint a wall and hand the result back with no warning. That is the problem, not the feature.
Changing a permanent surface in a listing photo changes what is being sold. A buyer who arrives to find the dark laminate they saw as pale oak has been misled in a way that a buyer who arrives to find no sofa has not, and the rulebooks reflect that: this is one of the few alterations that several markets prohibit outright, with no disclosure available to cure it.
What we do instead of a warning banner
Our alteration classifier marks this transform `prohibited` rather than `disclosable`, and that classification is what the product reads — it is on the tool card, on this page, and attached to the edit itself. Where a market prohibits it outright, the transform is blocked for that account rather than accompanied by a checkbox.
The one carve-out worth knowing is CRMLS's: it permits this where the property will actually be improved to match at close, as part of the list price. That is a narrow and specific permission, and it is not a general licence.
