    Maybe the photos were just taken to give an old fashioned sepia appearance...!

    Why are you saying its an Indian House?  To be fair, there is nothing overtly visible that tells me it is, not that I am sure what an Indian house is?  What are you seeing to say its an Indian house?  Define 'Indian House' over and above 'house with décor that I would not like in mine'.
    What I do not give, you must never take by force.

    In case you think, oh that's a nice, decent sized house for the best part of half a million quid... what you are actually buying appears to be the extension/converted garage down the side of the main house plus a sliver of the garden (that might be 83ft long but is about 10 inches wide...)

    Wow! So what I thought was the hallway is in fact the lounge. Clever to take photos of the back garden without the fence panels in situ.

    That is mad ! God knows how much they value the actual house at based on that. And that bathroom tiling would give me a migraine !  Who would really buy that with the 'garden alley'

    Why would anyone buy that when in the same place you can get an actual 3 bed semi for £50K less ?

    That is !!!!!! awful. It's barely worth half that amount.
    Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.
