    Very quiet neighbours though.....

    Even if they weren't, the main road outside would drown out most of the noise...

    Crashy could rent the 'downstairs storage area currently used as sleeping quarters'. Presumably that bit covered by a curtain.

    I'm wondering at their present arrangements given there seems to be quite a lot of kiddie furniture, have they shoved the kids 'out of sight, out of mind' behind the curtain?

    I'm in the 'it's horrendous' camp.

    Photo 11, bath plonked in the bedroom on the first floor ... overlooking the "void", so visible to anybody/everybody from everywhere in the entire house.

    yes, but it's a one-bedroom house. So either occupied by a singleton or a couple.

    Says whatever you want it to say really.

    Crash - prices down since January 2018
    Boom - prices up from a year ago.

    Hence the phrase 'lies, damned lies, and statistics'

    It is sales transactions that I am pointing out though, price averages are just noise now, and this house just underlines how silly and sad it has all become (not saying some nutter still won`t buy it though :))

    Oh, so it's a house sales transactions crash which you've been predicting all along then is it?!?

    Keep shifting those goalposts crashy - one day, like all those monkeys, typewriters and the works of Shakespeare, you'll get something right...

    I'd get rid of those metal windows straightaway, especially those with coloured glass. Replace them with some energy saving white PVCu double glazed units
