    hmmm it is a bit violent isn't it? looks a bit like Lindsay Lohan. Gorgeous house though, I think I'd weep with joy on a daily basis if I lived somewhere as beautiful.
    Yep - it is LiLo

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    What on earth is going on in the picture on the wall in Pic 2?

    I guess that's what makes a 4 bed semi worth 155k more (580k) than a 4 bed detached on the same road sold for in January (415k).
    I think....

    Firstly the price..although it is Primrose Hill North London so eye wateringly expensive, but secondly...well judge for yourself! :rotfl:

    Weird, but at least it's not a fixture.

    I think the house looks quite nice, although I was disappointed when the pics of the garden turned up. Quite a let-down, so I expect that is why the EA left them till last.

    What is wrong with people that have 95%+ of their decor all black, all white or all grey?

    It makes things so depressing.

    I suspect it's because they believe it makes their d!cor superior to all us mere mortals that have colour filled abodes.
    Trying to save up for a deposit for a mortgage....could be a while!!

    Comping since 15/06/2014 - thanks to all those who post the competitions ❤️😀

    It's art, innit? Art's meant to be challenging nowadays. You can't just stick 'The Haywain' on the wall in your lounge; it's far too relaxing. ;)

    I thought the same thing about the garden, which is where the artistic flair ended, apparently. Needs a few statement plants! :)

    Here's a cracker of a repo which won't tax you too much, as the only piccie of note is the first one:

    From experience, these agents have always been dozy. They're just following their usual sausage-machine approach by putting the front view first. ;)

    What the heck is wrong with the word 'd e c o r' ?

    I've noticed before that MSE's swear filter doesn't like it, but I've checked and there's no clue in my dictionary. Is there an underground meaning I've been blissfully unaware of?

    If so...d!cor, d!cor d!cor, d!cor.... DECOR!!!!

    There, I've said it in public now, and I don't care if you're all offended!!! :rotfl:

    I must be dim, but I can't see what's wrong with it? I'm amazed those trees aren't causing subsidence, but if they aren't, what's the prob?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Just the presentation by the agents. The first photo is supposed to matter, but this one doesn't present the property in a good light or even inform very much.

    A bit of an arborist's wet dream though! :rotfl:
