pics 2 how do you get to washing machine without moving the whole table and chairs LOL

It's a mystery to me why the EA included picture one. Is it another property do you think? The rest of the property looks well maintained, but if this is the exterior of the property a coat of paint on the porch would do wonders.

Anyway they have a large vase of twigs and a frilly mauve shower curtain so it is bound to sell

The facade was ruined, yes...but the inside is also very dire!

Whew! I'd be playing a game of "Hide Me, Find Me" in that house to see JUST how many problems had been "hidden". As for that kitchen wall - brick!:eek: - I'd have a fit of the horrors at the thought of trying to clean a kitchen wall that hadnt even got its plaster on it (never mind the washable paint).

One of those gardens that would have me standing in it every time mentally shifting the boundary (ie right-hand hedge in this case) back into a straight line to get at the rest of the right-hand side of my garden and then cursing that I couldnt (ie because that part of my garden had been allocated to the next door neighbours house in the first place).

Those "triangular" shape gardens always make me think that the developer must have been standing there when the estate was planned and gone "Right...thats the plan for the whole estate then...oh..darn it...that house there doesnt have a garden at all and there isnt room for them to have one...so we'll pinch a bit from the neighbour one side and then pinch a bit from the neighbour the other side". That way - everyone gets a garden in theory - but, in practice, stands there wishing they could grab the rest of it from the next door neighbour in practice.:cool:

I'd visualise the strong possibility of boundary disputes with a garden like that - if the neighbours plants took literally 1" of land the owner might well be out with the secateurs and trying to gain a surreptitious few extra inches themselves whilst doing so.

I cannot believe that people dont tidy up or put stuff away surely if you are having photos done you want them to look the business in order to get a sale !

Not on a repo you don't, especially as it's an HMO too.;)

Ah...thats as maybe normally...but, in this case, with the property being several (presumably rented) flats then maybe not.

Tenants arent necessarily given warning of viewings and, then again, they may not want their home sold over their head and may be deliberately leaving the place looking a mess to try and prevent this. The only experience I've had of that was back in the Days of (In)glorious Bedsitland Living and both houses went up for sale during my time in them. Us tenants weren't given the slightest hint of this. I just knew because a strange couple came knocking on my door with an estate agent in one house (I duly did my best to put them off - dont know if it worked - but the house didnt sell) and I only found out with the second one when I got told I now had a new landlord (I'd have done my best to scupper that as well if I had known - because the landlord changed from an eccentric but decent old lady to A Mega-Landlord of typically rapacious type).

Cracking house, great price, funky shaped bath and always a cold beer when you're watching the box

But

Fixtures and fittings by separate negotiation.

Extra for the bath? Extra for the kitchen units? Extra for a gas fire? Or just extra for light fittings?

It's great isn't it!

I grew up in a village not far from here called stairfoot!

Stairfoot - my father grew up there. He started work in a glass factory - too young to go to the mines till later. I never thought of it as a village.

Nice views from the bedroom as it says, but...

streetview reveals all!

Isn't that the view from the second floor bedroom - more like a skylight in the roof. If so, it would take determination to view.
