Tough challenge but you might be able to spot the owner in two photos

Why would an estate agent do this? You just need to wait a few seconds until "Bob" is out if the way...

This might be a contender for a competition to find the largest property with the least amount of anything green and growing anywhere on it. 

That might be Bob the Builder, rather than Bob the Owner. For a property in this price range, couldn't they have waited until the building works are finished?

Read the description.  £2m for the unfinished shell that you can finish yourself, or pay the builder extra to finish it for you.

I can't see many rushing to buy that.

Even worse. I would like to believe all that would mean that it wouldn't be worth anyone's effort buying it and finishing the renovation. But, prices are so crazy in some places that I can't rule it out without further research.

Where I am, I see multiple properties being sold half 'refurbished'. In one case with tools in situ according to the photos. But, they are normal houses and there is some margin off typical going rate.

Flippers biting off more than they can chew, or perhaps realising that they are not going to make a profit and trying to cut their losses.

It reads to me like the current owners have run out of cash

Maybe this should be in the 'Detached or End of Terrace' thread, but looking carefully at next door's garage, including on StreetView, this must be the least detached detached house I've seen.

There wont be a party wall, I believe. But, if there is any gap there between the two walls it must be tiny.

It'll be mid terrace if people start building over their garages… 
I think link detached is a fair description for now.

Christ on a bike that's a winter broken leg if you're lucky...or broken neck otherwise. Nice soft landing onto astroalgae?

I would love to see the view from that platform.  I struggle to imagine in that setting just what you would sit up there looking at.  Apart from the neighbours.

it's not for adults, it's for youngsters. I can easily a teenager happily putting a camping tent there and inviting all friends around with a couple of guitars!

A small but well-proportioned appendage, nestled amongst deep undergrowth. 
Occupying the middle leg of the Brecon escarpment, this semi has seen better days.
Contact John Thomas for all the particulars.
