Seven bottles of Domestos and a box of Cillet Bang and the bathroom looks like that!!!

That's the first property I've seen where 'The property will be sold as seen with all contents, fixtures and fittings included' sounds like a threat!

And aaaagh! My eyes:

Also, rather ominously, it's described as a 'two bed house with an additional room in the loft', which on the floorplan is only called 'Room in loft' suggesting it somehow doesn't meet legal requirements to be a bedroom, despite having two beds in it. Ceilings too low, perhaps, from the photo?

This property won't benefit from over exposure.

The toilet is in mourning. Perhaps the loo brush has died?

Too many horrors to mention but I'm sure you'll be envious of the front gate:

I think it's trying to create an air of seriousness in a house where no adults seem to reside.

Got money to burn? 47k for 10% of the return on a (pretty dated) hotel room for 5 years.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to invest in this?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but 47k over 5 years works out at over 9k per year...and if you only receive 10% of the net returns then the hotel would need to make 90k per year on that one room alone for you to even break even.

My thoughts exactly, Dave - it appears to have been decorated for (or by, lol :rotfl:) kids. The whole place has the air of a particularly shabby nursery/childminder's abode :rotfl:

Ilfracombe has teetered on the edge of viability as a town for decades, being quite isolated and full of large, old buildings, erected to serve the holiday industry of a bygone era.

There's a reason why it's a cheap place to buy. The same reason makes it a very dodgy place to invest.

- The photo of the en suite bathroom seems to be missing (errr....I presume there is an en suite....)

- No idea given of the booking levels or how much they charge for the room

- No idea given of what Ilfracombe is like

- No idea given of what the rest of the hotel is like

....and so on.....and so on.....

If the owners are that unrealistic all round then I somehow think that hotel won't be in business much longer anyway.....

EDIT; See what you mean Dave. Just done a quick scan of Rightmove for Ilfracombe and it's certainly got a high proportion of its housing in multi-bedroomed houses (some converted into flats/some not). I contemplated a different location to the one I actually moved to - and that's exactly what put me off choosing it - as I could see who else might choose it (eg London councils "shipping out" people to cheaper locations)....

Lease hold flat for ...... 7 years! :eek:

I find the habit of saying the lease has x years from the date xx/xx/xxxx so annoying, I don't want to have to get my calculator out... but I will!
