    Agreed....

    Not forgetting the handrail in bathroom thing.

    My definition of a bathroom firm with a deathwish (for themselves:cool:) being one that suggests the customer might like a handrail when gutting a bathroom - and customer isn't elderly yet.....:cool:

    I have a handrail in my bath and not elderly, Dad installed it when I sprained my ankle so I could hold something whilst standing on my better foot without falling over as got rubbish balance. Also was useful when I was off sick with my bad leg recently

    Been googling how to purchase a derelict hotel...

    I can't stop thinking about it... shame those grand design and restoration man tv shows don't show you have to get the funding to achieve such a thing...

    The stain on the headboard in that picture is particularly attractive.

    Was I the only one who sniggered at the house name? Imagine having to answer the phone all day with that name at your hotel.

    Is this the narrowest house a million pounds can buy?

    Drawing room in picture 4 looks more like a corridor.

    Marvellous, so you save a chunk of stamp duty costs on the purchase price, but presumably you'll cop for a load extra anyway as you won't be able to reclaim the extra 3% you'll be paying on the purchase price because you can't move in for 5 years. And you'd be paying 40% tax on the rental income if you went down that route.

    Madness IMO.
