Overpriced house- offers?

That floor plan isn't for the house that's photographed is it???

The floor plan shows the front door leading into the lounge and no door leading out of it
The photo shows the house is an upside down L shaped.  With the front door on the left alongside the garage!

The photo is of the top edge of the floorplan. The bay in the pic is the front bedroom, the lounge is at the back.

Not only are the bedroom and the "additional room" next to it blind, but the kitchen/bathroom/dining room are going to be oppressively dark, with their windows opening onto a narrow passageway. The description doesn't tie easily to the floorplan - three beds described as having windows? I think the blind bed is "bed 2" (described as having a window - onto the garage, behind the built-in wardrobes?), and the dining room is "bed 3".


The photographer was proud enough to watermark the image? Unless it was watermarked by their rivals as a finger-point...

Anybody else wondering "non-standard construction"? I'm mildly surprised it's freehold - I half-expected them to be ex-LA, with the LA still being leaseholder.

It's firmly in the somebody else's bargepole corner.
This is less than half a mile away, and cheaper - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/98475377#/

Within 1 to 3 miles...

Last two are not bad, both 5k price drops so far as well.

A - a property which needs a lot of work doing

B - around 5k saved to do the property up

C - I’m a first time buyer so any advice would be great

A is greater than B and does not equal C.

Listen to the experienced people here, look for something more suited for a first time buyer. You'll have enough to do even in a modern new build!

Just because someone is a FTB it doesn`t mean they can`t handle refurbishing a house, they might work in the building trade for example.

Brimg a childless couple is probably the best time to buy a fixer upper providing the price reflects the work which id often doesn't.  I keep seeing houses that are absolute dumps being advertised for £5,000 less than a liveable one because theres sn “opportunity” ... for what a bad back ?

The agent has updated the images now.

So we decided to put an offer in just to see what they would say.. it didn’t get accepted we said 128k and the vendor send this was FAR to low. Ha.

Don’t forget bungalows are usually more expensive than the equivalent size house.  They can sell very quickly though, where we live just blink and the bungalows sold
