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.

https://propertyindustryeye.com/estate-agent-pictures-sleeping-tenant-in-house-for-sale/Looks like it.Revisiting the listing, it is just a 3 bed property, and one of the bedrooms measures just 2.07m by 2.07m - Way too small for an adult occupant, and with the two ground floor reception rooms being used as bedrooms, I wonder if that small room is even legal.Quite depressing really.0 -

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

A room that is only 4.64m² is a human rights violation.FreeBear said:Patr100 said:

It has quite a lot of coverage in the papers and its own Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/tindaletowers/ Where you could win it for £25. Having looked at street view and the satellite map perhaps the location isn’t the best with a tyre place and the civic amenity site as neighbours.Patr100 said:0 -
