    I don't think they're babies bottles, just a collection of manky old half-empty milk bottles :eek:

    I agree. They would be big babies doing a pint out of a glass bottle at a time!

    Actually, if you look, it's more than a little sad. Perhaps new parenthood isn't going well (I'm not sure how my house would have photographed at that point). Note the babies' bottles lined up on the kitchen (triplets perhaps, it might explain the devastation of washing). There are suitcases on the bed. The yellow pages open in the living room.

    I could be a novelist!

    I think you could be close, maybe there has been a serious illness or death? Who knows?
    I love giving home made gifts, which one of my children would you like? :D :A :D

    could be a mental illness, depression no empty booze bottles about though.

    Would only take a couple of hour to blitz the place.

    I've seen a lot worse.

    I HONESTLY thought/think it was a student house :o

    (yes I have been a student too, but some of my friends call me "Monica".... because of the neatness obsession :o )

    Looks like every rental house I've lived in - in the days when I've been starting to move out - suitcases, bags of stuff, pull everything out of cupboards on to work surfaces to box up, clean inside stuff etc.... that's not messy living people that's just moving chaos.....

    Makes you wonder what it would have been like if they hadn't tidied-up.....

    Probably the tenants didn't even know they were going in, hence no tidying - and even if they did know - not really their concern to tidy up whilst moving especially if they've been given notice to quit so LL can sell....

    OK. So, inconsiderate landlord &/or hostile tenants maybe, but the 'professional' in all this is the EA. It's the EA's job to sort this, one way or another. He/she hasn't, hence the post.

    Or am I missing something?

    Put it another way; if people see this on Connells' web site would it make them more or less keen to look at the property? More important, would it inspire them with confidence in Connells?
