One would normally trim the carpet a little oversized and fold the excess back underneath, Staples would then hold the whole lot in place on the stair tread.Ditzy_Mitzy said:
I've seen such carpeting before on open risers. I suppose it's because you want carpet all the way to the edge, but trimming it flush with the tread would cause it to fray. Also, there, it has the important secondary feature of cushioning the inevitable bumped head of anyone doing things in the under stairs alcove!General_Grant said:
Have they really wrapped carpet round the individual steps?Louise.H said:https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/81003102#/media?id=media5&ref=photoCollage
The whole house is a bit meh but those stairs are making me feel funny.
You missed the "spot the cat" (real cat) opportunity.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

I think if I was the tenant , I'd be more worried the new owner would want to put the rent up if the law and regulations allowed it!RAS said:
Superb opportunity to purchase this one bedroom apartment currently let and occupied by a single working tenant paying £400 per calendar month with the potential to increase to £450/£500 per calendar month.0 -
Estate agent has his priorities right, I see. Who needs to know boring stuff like what sort of title it's on and whether there's central heating when you've found out what colour boxer shorts the tenant wears and what he eats for breakfast?Patr100 said:

£400 PCM seems about fair for that place, not knowing the area. It's a pretty good yield on the purchase price, so raising it seems like racking.0 -

If this is a local authority flat, bought under Right to Buy, I think all the leases are the same length, namely 125 years starting in 1984, ie with 88 years left. Ground Rent will be £10. Auction buyers will know that sort of thing, but in any case I expect all the details are in the auction pack.
No idea what it will sell for. That depends a bit on what major works are in the offing. I see no sprinklers, and a buyer may have to fork out £10-20k for fire protection works, post-Grenfell.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
