Crikey, what a mish mash of styles, colours, textures ....

I don't know the area very well but the price does seem rather high, given how much is needed to put things right.

I can only assume that the property's one saving grace must be that it is a desirable location. That extension is hideous.

(shudders) Pink carpet (in three different styles in various rooms), wood cladded ceilings and walls, exposed bricks, awful faux wood doors, uneven driveway, horrible mirrored slide wardrobes and rotten wood on the back of the extension! Kitchen and bathrooms look awful

There is nothing I like about this house. All the above either needs ripping out and replacing or in the terms of the brickwork inside plastering.

even the gel and flannel in the shower are colour coordinated!

My friend is like that. She has a white suite with blue walls. Only can have blue, white or cream coloured toiletries bottles or clear bottles with the stuff inside those colours. Anything else, has to go in the cupboard in the bathroom!

That house has just got the Beatles song going through my mind - "She used to love me - but its all over now". Money there in no short supply in the 1970s - but look at the office photo and don't ask what happened to the money since....and why they are selling...

House clearly needs a lot of work to modernise - but I feel sorry for the vendors selling post-2008 - as I expect they'll get the "boot stuck in them" with the amount they are likely to be offered for it..

The house doesn't look like it has been on the market for a very long time - the current owners probably bought it at a time in keeping with the decor, so they aren't really going to "get the boot stuck in". My parents' house value has dropped by something like 60k since 2008 but as they bought it for 5k in the early 70's and any house they might want to buy in the future will most probably have fallen in line with theirs, the fall in the market will have zero effect on them. The only people that might be concerned would be the grasping relatives (aka me and my siblings) who are hoping for a big inheritance.

In any event, their back garden looks somewhat truncated, maybe they sold the end of it for the new housing development that has sprung up there between the Google Maps plane flying overhead and the Streetview drive by.

p.s. You could have succeeded with a Beatles reference if only you'd said "She showed me her room, Isn't it good..." :rotfl:

I'm from around there and it's not even a desirable location!

Nice flat, check out pic 7, I think the way they have styled the courtyard so it looks like pubes at the bottom of a shower tray is really going to sell this place.

Sometimes you just have to wonder if people want to sell their place for 10% less just because they couldn't be bothered to clean up for a few photos.

I know for sure that when my time comes I'll have to put half my "junk" in storage before anyone comes near it otherwise they'll wonder how one person lives in this three bed house no matter a family.
