Somewhere.

Agree on both points. It’s rather… busy.

Some things of the rooms are ideal for a Liberace themed evening… and it’ll look quite different when all the stuff is taken out - as said there is a great house in there.

I looked at the first couple of pictures and thought it looked good, then I saw the interior...

Difficult to believe that both the interior and exterior belong to the same house.

whenever i see places like this I can't help but think ''that poor guy having to put up with her decor/design decisions, probably doesn't get a single say''

Some of it is an abomination, but most of that will be fixed when it's emptied. Whats left would be an easy fix. Good house.

Looks like a lot of the period fixtures and fittings are still there, so it’s saveable. Lovely house potential

The juxtaposition is genuinely remarkable. It looks like he was in charge of the outside while she was a dunelmaholoc endlessly vomiting Chinese shiny tat all round the house. But then you spot the fk bucket on the patio and realise the bloke is also not well.

Really pretty house, garden on the edge of being not quite right and the inside could be cleared in a day by posting a 50% off sale on FB for local oompah loompahs and people who recently bought a davina macall product.

Is the lower door in this picture a reflection in a mirror?

I thought it was a Trompe-l'œil for a moment, but all the doors are painted in that fake shabby chic style:

I don't think so. There's a shadow on the top of the arch that you wouldn't get with a mirror so there's depth there.

Of course there are Frida Kahlo pillows in photo 17. Of course.

Could be Conchita Wurst? Pseuds don't half bristle when you casually mention you were unaware they were massive Eurovision fans.

If look carefully you can see the hallway below past the bannister, so these stairs clearly go down again.

And where could this be on the plan? The external photos suggest different floor heights in the extension, but that’s why the spiral staircase is there.

Still can’t figure it out!

I'm sure the lower door is to bedroom no3.

Yep. Why on earth doesn't the EA take the hit of £150, to hire a large skip, completely empty the place, so a walk around vid can show bare rooms needing painting? Also spend an hour hoovering, mowing the lawns, closing kitchen cupboard boards, and putting draws back in.

Finally, as the EA, I'd be asking Google to blur the nonce graffiti. I can imagine anyone being wary of buying a nonces house, for fear of mistaken targeting. Waking up to a petrol bomb thrown through your window aint a great selling point.

What a ridiculous statement.

Should the EA put in a new kitchen and bathroom too?

Hmmm... You could be onto something. It is, after all, about the rebellion of not shaving. In Frida's case, it was the monobrow. In Conchita's, well...

But we can't deny the "be your own person" mentality of the decor, at least.

I think you are right. The floor plan doesn’t show it, but the front and back of the house have different story heights. The upper door is the second floor bedroom and the lower one is bedroom three.

It's a service they could charge for.

Guy I worked with left to set up in business helping other BTL investors invest. What he does for the money. Finds suitable houses, does all the leg work with estate agents, solicitors, surveyors, mortgage brokers. Once you own the property, he will prepare it for sale, manage the new kitchen, the garden clearance, the paining and repairs, flooring, advertise for you, vet the applicants, sort out the paperwork and collect the rent, for you....
Is he a letting agent, or more?

Why shouldn't a sales agent, do the prep work as well, for a fee ?

Saw this on Twitter and had to post it here.

Critical thinking absence in one image. Clever.

Garage for the lawn mower.

Not sure about the kitchen spec on this one!
