    I used to own a flat and would keep an eye on how much the ones for sale were up for, i remember one of the three beds came on to the market and the pictures were unbeleivable, i couldnt understand why the EA had bothered really, the floors were just covered in rubbish, the bathroom shot was awful, a brown with dirt bath and toilet, black kitchen floors with dirt. It had been tenanted and then repossed i beleive so im guessing thats why the mess. Its very nice now though.

    ive also viewed some s*** holes when looking to buy both my current and previous property and often the pics were not on right move or the details! i could really see why.

    Once for walk i had to inspect a 3 bed tenanted property, the rubbish in every room was waist high, i couldnt get up the stairs for the rubbish, there was cat wee and poo up the stairs ont he rubbish, kitchen was flooded in dirty water, mould etc. I actually cleaned my shoes when i left! It was an old lady who obv couldnt cope!

    In the case of the OP link i think that its probably the home of someone who may have died etc? ive seen a lot like this, or a tenant who has deliberatly made the mess! lol

    No idea about prices in your neck of the woods, but it doesn't look a bad deal, on paper.

    thanks Davesnave
    it certainly looks like a lot of house for the money.......all boils down to whether I am prepared to live in that area ......it might not be an option if nothing comes up where I actually want to be...in Rainham.

  • I like the 'garden'. They've really done well with that war-zone theme, haven't they?

    Aw.... shame! All the tape in the pics saying 'Do Not Use' was a give-away.

    Unfortunately, the pros are not going to be put off by a day or two's tidying and cleaning, as they will probably go through the whole place with the magnolia paint and laminate floors anyway.
