Real Estate nightmares (Vol 2)

What am I missing here that makes it a nightmare?

The things you learn...

I wondered that too.... Looks like a cracking project, big enough to live it whilst you do it piece by piece too.

Shame it's the wrong part of the country for me or I'd be all over it.

What is it with these rendered new builds that turns the walls 'moldy' (there's an estate I regularly drive past that are all covered in green slime/mold on exterior walls) is it that they are super insulated so there's no heat escaping which keeps the walls permanently damp?

Yeah, it kinda needs the shed look removed to make it more "cottagey" and less "garden shed", and parts of it look a bit 70s/80s where they'd modernised bits at the time.

I think they missed a trick there - rename office to "living room" and rename "living room" to "Bedroom 3", then add £30k to the price.

The outside of this is properly shocking

Another sad story looking back on streetview images and seeing the garden and biodiversity lost for a bit fking load of tarmac. I bet that house gets very hot in the summer too.

I've often wondered about this "building plot". The front of the bungalow is on the busiest junction for 10 miles in any direction. The traffic does not stop, day or night. Your nearest shop is Tesco. Whilst it's open, there's traffic.

The other side of a pedestrian alleyway is a pumping station. When the traffic is light, you can hear the pumps quietly humming.

The back of the plot has vehicle access from a road built approx 1966.

I see it being torn down, and a couple of town houses built. How you drown out the road noise would be an interesting issue to have.

Interesting boiler placement.

Camper van in the street view image says it all.
