The house might indeed have been left empty, but furnished for 40+ years but even Miss Haversham would have had trouble keeping it unused for that time.
It looks like someone tried to make a start in renovating but gave up the challenge after the window replacement. Perhaps a mortgage provider did not like the security being offered?
My first move would be to check to see if the Land Registry knows about this property - in theory it should have been registered at Coventry:
East Sussex
Eastbourne
1 Jan 1926
Coventry
The potential buyer might be being softened up for purchasing a dodgy title and an expensive insurance guarantee - 40+ years should be long enough to see off rival claimants even the Queen.

Possibly, but I'm thinking it is more that it was left as a "shrine" for many years given the faded/non faded parts on the wallpaper and that someone was probably looking after it and the family wanted to try and renovate it but gave up when they realised the cost and effort.Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free

Can anyone see the younger generation enthusing about "the period features" in this house in 100 years time?
It looks like expensive built in obsolescence to me - buy a blank canvas and make your own expensive mistakes.0
