As above, what does decorative order mean on a housing description?

It should say "good decorative order" rather than just "decorative" as that means nothing. Guess it's a typo!

I'd have thought you'd have to add something like "good" "bad" or "average" to that phrase to make sense. By itself doesn't work, though it might be lazy EA shorthand.

What is it relating too?

A term in a commercial lease? An Estate Agent's details?

Initial thoughts are those of Gary.

Frankly the fact that they've mentioned it makes me worried. It's just one of those things I'd take for granted, like walls and a roof. 'Good decorative order' probably means that decor is terrible; 'average' means the wallpaper is hanging off the walls and half the doors are missing.

But don't let that put you off.

Its all subjective anyway.

I have just put my house up for sale. The same agent I bought it from (2 years ago) came round to value it. I have completely renovated the property.

The first thing he said when he walked in was 'oh yes the interior was really dated etc etc'. I pointed out his brochure from when I bought it which used terms like 'exquisite', 'splendid' and 'superb' laugh
