:eek: To be fair, less than a grand spent on tidying it up and putting cheap carpet down and it will be cracking btl. Bathroom just needs bleach, and kitchen looks functional, plus it has DG & CH. Still a bit :eek: though. Actually, I'm talking myself into it - I've bought a property like this before - it's bark was much worse than it's bite (e.g. the previous owners had boarded over and plastered a fully glazed door to the outside in the living room but left the door in on the outside - house repossessed, kids smashed glass and punched holes through plasterboard into the room :eek: - looked awful, cost me £150 to have door removed & it bricked up. I did it after exchange, before completion - brickie broke into garden & did it for me so stop any more damage

Same street, 10k more. Wasted toilet, utility & storage - they would make a decent dining room.
I would go for the 35k one and pay on credit card :cool:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I've always liked these 60s/70s townhouses. Can't believe the asking prices of those houses. Similar type houses where I live are about £100k and well out of my price limit (until I can save up some more).

I'm still pinching myself that you can buy a house for that kind of money. It wouldn't get you a garage around here.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0
