    I'd be more worried about if smokers lived there! I've seen some houses where everything is yellow and the smell is so strong I can't imagine ever getting rid of it. Any tips for that?
    That's the sort of house to go for - everybody else has been put off, you go in with a silly price and may be accepted as the vendors are desperate - 'will nobody buy this house? We'll have to drop the price' etc etc.

    A week of elbow grease and you've never earned so much in such short time.

    Mmmm - music to my ears!

    I clear out the whole family and make sure the place is spotless. I hate walking in to a room thats filled with teenagers, or small children running round - I can't see the house properly and feel I'm invading someones space.

    When viewing our property, try not to let your 4 year old child pee on the floor!

    When I was looking at BTL properties last year, I came across one tenanted place where there were soiled undies in the bathroom sink.

    Didn't go back for a second viewing, for some reason !!
