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.

    Is the kitchen actually usable? Could you still cook a meal, wash up, have some storage space etc ? If so then at least someone moving in could use it, until they refurbished.

    Our first house together had an amazing kitchen,  it literally had the kitchen sink and nothing else  :D.  We camped out there while doing it up, it’s amazing what you can do with a kettle, toaster and microwave

    We had a big cool box for the milk for the gallons of tea :D.   That was my main job plus removing the woodchip wallpaper.   I swore I’d never buy a house again that was covered in woodchip, it’s evil stuff.

    I met someone once who lost the top joint of a finger through getting an infection under the nail where a woodchip from the wallpaper jabbed them.
