Real Estate nightmares (Vol 2)

[FourWheelDrift]

Serial killer has to have his body room hidden somewhere.

[NomduJour]

That is odd, given it’s detached - next door appear to have the land up to the back of the house on that side.

Anyone fancy a house where one of your upstairs rooms is technically owned by somebody else?

And yet they still list it as detached! Surely its a large flat as I cant see what other definition it meets.

Looking on google earth it is detached, too little detail to show a external stair or whatever. Weird.

Here's the door, up the steps external access. Difficult to get bodies up so I guess they are lured there and murdered in the room.

Someone's a bit optimistic giving it a door with a letter slot.

I once tried to buy a house off a woman that was moving to a 400 year old cottage with a flying freehold over the neighbour's lounge. After 2 months waiting for the legal situation to be sorted or clarified so they could move, I pulled out of the sale. Not sure if the legals were really a problem, or if they were just very cautious. I'm sure if it's clear who owns what and what maintenance obligations they have, the fact that its been like that for 400 years would suggest it's not a problem.

This is pretty bonkers:

Looks more like a middleschool than a home

Pool in a hanger

Look at the wires in pic 35

Depressing tv in front of window in pic 38

Oh and a basketball count come lounge of course

Why would you build a pool with interior windows?! Put the basketball court on the inside and have the pool facing out. The only issue is that the narrow path on the wide photo appears to be an access road to 3x other properties, but you could frost the lower metre or so, you'd at least still have LOTS of light and some trees. Alternatively they could have just built it facing the wooded area (which it looks like they own).

Looking at the Land Registry map, the main building is "The Forge", there's a tiny dog leg to the left of the plot "land on the west side of The Forge" which looks like it was bought from the neighbour to straighten out the plot, and then the square of the room is labelled "The Store Room, The Forge".

Dunno, looks quite easy to me. The steps are steep but there aren't too many. Best thing to do as drag the body from behind while walked straight up. Don't go backwards as it might be a bit dangerous. If the average man weighs around 14 stone, then the steps will take most of the weight. You just need to overcome the friction of the angle with the step. A piece of soft material may help under the head to stop any bits coming off. The biggest task is the angle of going from the steps to over the threshold. Bring the body 90 degrees so you can bend it round the corner. A tarpaulin sheet underneath will help slide it over the door threshold as well.

a little suspcious that a small property like that would have 2 green bins....

Wrap the body in two layers of tough plastic sheeting, taping the entire length of every seam to prevent any fluids escaping, then get it up the steps on a tri-wheel sack trolley. Easy, and minimal evidence for the rozzers to find, even if they cone looking.

Honestly, it's as if no-one's properly over-thought this through.

I'm not sure. There doesn't seem enough space to move a triwheel around on the top. Plus you have more stuff to dispose of for when forensics come. Needs to be a quick in the house job as the door faces the road. You want the first layer of sheeting to be absorbent so the fluids don't slosh around inside.

Our binmen would just dump the body on the drive with a sticker telling you what goes in your green bin.

[georgezippy]

Be wary of anyone taking pigs up into there!

Good points. I suppose the real answer is not to bring one's work home.

Looks like Iron Man house but its a made for TV movie that was first released in 1987...

Could PistonHeaders turn thumbs down on a house with a 10-car garage? Always a first time! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/145965245#/...

[Sporky]

Given the proximity to a scrapyard, a skip hire place, a railway, and an A-road, I'm going to go with "yes".

Handy for the greyhound track mind.

Be careful, peeps - there's a 3 door Up! GTI parked outside on streetview, so the owner may be among us...
