Nothing to do with me this time, but not that far from our current location, so I'm often checking out what's new on RM in the area - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-37852000.html - as of today someone (admittedly elderly which is sad as obviously it's become too much for them) is still in residence and apart from the overall 'not bothered to tidy for the pics' vibe going on, I'm particularly drawn to the soiled carpets, disheveled beds and strangely positioned bathroom basin That steep garden looks a bit treacherous too!

A lot of potential there - all it needs is a generous dollop of TLC.

When I see properties like this my fingers just start itching - I just want to "rescue" them. :rotfl::rotfl:

Loving the location of this first flat. We went to York for the first time last January, what a lovely place! Imagine living right in the middle like that!

It's right on one of the busiest junctions in the city centre; you'd have traffic queues noise for a lot of the time (vehicles moving off), plus it's on a main route to the hospital so you'd get the nee-nah's all the time too.

But yes, really convenient and lovely view

Pic 11. A plugin air freshener and 3 neutrodols? Does it stink?

Yeah, me too Lesson - for me houses presented for sale in that condition are the most interesting propositions.......trouble is we're only half-way through our current *project* so I shouldn't really be looking Mind you, compared to our house, that one looks like a walk in the park

Hmm...within striking distance of the A303, without having to listen to it, so there should be plenty of willing rescuers.

It was after viewing something similar near there that we switched our attention to Wales. We thought something falling down with dodgy outbuildings & claggy land could be had a good deal cheaper there. We were not wrong, but in the end pragmatism prevailed.....:o

Even in bigger I can't tell what it is?

Useless tip: I noticed (when selling my own house) that the details on Zoopla sometimes have the "view original" option against the pic which is usually much larger.
