The "have a look at this!" thread

it doesn't matter how many times you show a photo of a room, you can't fool me into thinking the lounge and dining room and kitchen aren't one and the same

is this a case of no one watches TV in this house

picture number 8 - look at the wonderful period features, which have been painted so many times you can't make out the finer detailing of the features

Nothing very peculiar about the house itself, but what's with all the chairs?

Thanks for a great evening all, been thinking about moving but not quite saved up yet, which was a little bit sad...

However I am now exceptionally cheerful - the photos were great plus this house plus comments nearly made me snort with laughter! :rotfl:

What I don't understand with house listings is why they have the same pictures repeated. For example:
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-28731281.html

Pictures 2 and 6 - pic 6 makes the room look worse because it shows the view out of the window (described in text as being over communal gardens)

Pictures 7 and 8 - what is the point of picture 8?

Pictures 4, 9 and 10 - pic 4 looks great, the others are just worse versions

Still, it's good to see home information packs getting a mention in the listing.

Also if you check the floorplan it has two bedroom 3's and seems to be missing the 4th?

iNath - it does look that way doesn't it? but actually it's another one of the most frustrating things about round here, estate agents are very good at advertising 2/3/4 bedroom homes which in reality only have 1/2/3 bedrooms, the extra room comes in when you don't need a dining room

for those of you without property bee, this place has been on for years, started at £200K, now down to £175K I know nothing about the area it is in, but the livingroom and one of the bedrooms is more than enough to put me off....

I just love the fact that they've described a 3 bed semi as a villa!

I once went to view a house which was described as a cottage - when I got there it was a 2 bed terrace!

My in-laws also call terraces, cottages - but I wouldn't expect to see that down on an estate agent's description.

They did say a semi-detached villa though. I've seen plenty of semi-detached houses described as villas, and that is on estate agents descriptions.
