    Maybe they have a Macro card like us, in which case buying multipacks often works out considerably cheaper.
    Think they are different brands/supermarket own labels

    That kitchen reminds me of the TV show where kids redecorated rooms in their parents house.  One kitchen was turned into a burger bar.
    It's an interesting building; looks almost like a converted chapel, or at least a structure that's had another life.  More to the point: why is there a huge illuminated tooth in the sitting room?  And look at the dust on the fire hydrant!!
    Its not a tooth, its angel wings lol.
    Missed the hydrant.

    Maybe so but you certainly don't need to "show off" your bulk purchases to the viewers of your home when you are trying to sell it.

    They also seem to like handwash!
    Seems as good a place as any to store them. 

    Perhaps they didn't bother to move them out of the way prior to taking the photos as they have this radical, outlandish idea that potential buyers aren't going to be put off a property by the heinous crime of having more than 1 bottle of bleach visible in the bathroom.
    A potential buyer may look at that as a sign of a lack of storage.

    Bathroom off the bedroom and those stairs look dangerous - surely building regs would never have passed them.

    The bleach isn't  in the bathroom , it's in the downstairs cloakroom/loo.
    The bathroom has plenty room for another cupboard or cabinet if you're the tidy sort. Wouldn't be an issue.

    No way would those stairs be compliant, one could miss one's footing and fall a good seven or eight feet depending on how high the ceilings are.  It's a horrid conversion on what was once a nice terrace.  Originally the staircase would have been boxed in on both sides and would have faced the other way to lead to a landing and passage on the other side of the second bedroom.  Such an arrangement would also have allowed independent access to the box room, but all at the expense of space.  I'm surprised this obsession with open plan gutting of properties is allowed to continue, it's the fastest way to ruin the energy efficiency of the interior.

    The lack of storage is obvious from the pictures anyway, the presence or absence of the bottles doesn't make the slightest difference in that regard.

    There's a handrail on one side.  Anyone who felt unsteady would make use of that.
    I live in a house with a wall but no handrail on it on one side of a fairly wide staircase the the other side has had the handrail removed so that it would be possible to fall if determined to do so.
    I do know that this would have to be "corrected" if it were to be let rather than simply sold on,

    It's not just an inconvenience in otherwise normal conditions, it's also how hazardous it would be in the case of  smoke /fumes reducing vision as someone tried to descend in a hurry. Oh and the fact that that those sorts of open gapped threaded staircases would also not be allowed as they allow smoke to travel upstairs so much more easily.
    But hey, no need to "correct" as they'll never be  a fire downstairs for an owner/occupier..
