The "have a look at this!" thread II

tigsly

I'm asuming the photos were taken after the big pile of stuff was put outside?!

and yes it always amazes me someone could spend that much without looking...

Landlord discovers 40 years of hoarded rubbish inside £450,000 house he bought without even viewing

I saw this and I doubt very much that the new owners are going to be out of pocket. It won't cost much to have got a team in to clear the rubbish out & deep clean. Well, ok, it might cost a bit, but not in comparison with £450k already spent and if they couldn't get into the house, I wouldn't expect any other bidder would have either, which would have reduced the competition and price.

The house next door appears to have been split into 4 flats and everything that has sold recently on the road is also flats. My guess is that they intend to convert this house into flats too. One of the neighbours (56a - 1 bed) sold for £228k last year which would give them around another £450k to clean, convert and sell the house again. Even I could turn a profit with that! Or they may choose to convert & rent as they apparently own 10 other properties. A 1 bed on Fonthill Road is available for £250pw.

Plus they claim they were refused entry by the previous owners. You can see what appears to be junk piled up against the front window on Streetview and a peer through the letterbox would let you see the stairs (and sample the "atmosphere") so it can't have been that much of a surprise to them.

I think what we have here is some people seeking their 15 minutes.

Considering I'm not a fan of modern interiors applied to older buildings, I actually quite like this mix of old & new......I can even tolerate the bare stone internal walls (that I normally hate ) and have taken quite a shine (lol!) to the gilded wall (pic 3).......oh yes and *spot the (rather large) dog*

Lovely house :T. The problem with a chapel conversion is that often there is no garden. This one does (I assume, from pic 9) and where does the terrace/balcony on pic 1 fit in? No mention in rightmove or particulars, I'd expect better info for that price.

OP - please view and report back .

On streetview, a bit further up 'Morris Avenue'
* Confederate flag check
* Car in garden on bricks check
* CB aerial check

Although to be fair, where else in the country can you buy your own bungalow by the sea, 2 mins from a superb beach for less than £100,000.

True, many of the bungalows are built raised high on 'stilts' of concrete breeze blocks due to the flood risk. But don’t let that put you off.

(Google the 1953 North Sea flood. 37 people died in Jaywick)

I like this house as well. It took me a while to make sense of picture 8, I thought it was a beach at first! Does the pool have a wave machine? I also think the chair and splashes on the floor make it look a bit sinister, like a scene from a horror film! Might just be my overactive imagination though :rotfl:
