We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.
The MSE Forum Team would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. However, we know this time of year can be difficult for some. If you're struggling during the festive period, here's a list of organisations that might be able to help

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'.Emily_Joy said: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.

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 !
