    Wow, that's a bit different from other church conversions. It's a pretty impressive church.
    Picture 16. They've got the sofa facing the focal point of the radiator, yet there's a fire surround behind the sofa. The room is also very narrow for a living room.

    Did you notice in the blurb that it says the flat comes with 3 parking spaces, but the buyer can also purchase another 7! Why would you need 10 parking spaces?

    1 To let?
    2 To run a used car business?

    It's clear this tenant is being very obstructive, as in no internal photos at all and not even one of the back garden.

    I would interpret that as being "Tenant is a friend or relative on a promise made prior to the modern-day insecure tenancies. They're in their 90s and ill and it won't be long now......".

    You'd be taking a gamble on buying it if the tenant wouldn't let you in for a looksee inside. You'd be taking a gamble anyway, in case the tenant was one of those who lived to over 100.

    What is odd, I think, is that the room dimensions haven't been given. That does rather seem to imply that even the owner isn't allowed in by said obstructive tenant.

    EDIT: I wouldn't be feeling very secure if I were that tenant though....knowing the new owner was wishing me dead!

    There is a detailed floor plan so the estate agent must have been inside, which possibly makes no photos even more worrying :eek:

    Check out the toilet window/door - the only light in the kitchen is through the toilet :eek:.

    I like the idea of driving into my underground lair. Not sure about the exhaust fumes/ventilation issues though.
