Would this be something I could negotiate on price with if I like the rest of the property? I think the utility is through the door seen in the photo of the kitchen.
I am guessing the sink is hidden from the photos, could be next to the bin in pic 7 as behind the wall, that's where the utility sink and washing machine plumbing.
The wallpaper in pic 9 makes me dizzy.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Does it need 10 photos of the outside of a one bed flat and 6 of the bathroom?

Without a kitchen sink there isn't a kitchen as the property could be regarded as legally below habitable standard (and therefore unmortgageable).
this worries me as it might explain why it's not sold for 6 months. do you think this might still apply if the utility room is right next to the kitchen with a sink in?Trying to save up for a deposit for a mortgage....could be a while!!

I'm no expert but IMHO I wouldn't have thought so. Our last house was unmortgageable, one of the reasons being there was no kitchen at all - PO had gutted the place then abandoned it early in the renovation process due to ill health. The set up in the house you are looking at puts me in mind of an old scullery type layout - I vaguely remember my grandmother's house in the 1970s having a kitchen with table and oven to prep food and cook it, but the (old belfast) sink with wooden drainer was in a tiny attached lean-to at the rear of this.
Does seem a weird set up though and would no doubt put a lot of potential buyers off......Mortgage-free for fourteen years!
