    Ixx: Don't know if you mind, but using that image, one can find your property in 2 clicks... you may not realise that, and may wish to delete the image...

    Cheers

    I did peep before suggesting you delete it.... looks lovely, and the previous owner can't have mucked that much up. Couldn't see any real problems in the photos. Enjoy it.

    Me, I'm off to read pages and pages of hand-written deeds in my slooow purchase that grinds on... :p

    How? I did upload the snipped floorplan to a website first, that's free from the link of the property??? Sorry I am really curious now :P

    Believe me the pictures look much better than the reality :D

    BEST OF LUCK with your purchase, the waiting will be well paid off! I am praying for you :)

    Google's search-by-image. It looks for images that look like that one. Which, in this case, will probably bring up a whole raft of long thin floorplans, one of which MIGHT be right...

    First hit was right.... given the OP's description of some features! Doesn't always work, this time it did.

    Forgot to mention, the back part including the kitchen, the conservatory and the ground floor bathroom were done before the current vendor bought it, these are where the problems arose, nothing was done properly! The conservatory has a dirty plastic ceiling and is so ugly, the EA probably didn't have the courage to put up any pictures :)

    This should have been sorted out months ago, not three days before exchange.
