    It's a repo - the services have been turned off, so you can't flush the loo as there's no water.

    The other give-away is usually a repo notice sellotaped to the inside of the front window or the front door if it's glazed. There isn't one in the front photo of that property though.

    oh my god, that gives me nightmares just looking at it - imagine having friends over to stay and having a few gins and then trying to get up that ladder, and then trying to get down afterwards
