Real Estate nightmares

[Crafty_]

Presumably the people in the welsh terrace are selling to pay their osteopathy bills after putting a crick in their neck trying to watch the tv.

You'd need a cleaner full time just going round polishing the floors to keep it up together.

I don’t hate it - they’ve clearly gone for a style, and fully embraced it. If that look is for you, then why not?

My problem is with the power cord for the TV in the picture above... If you’re doing this, why not move the socket or have another one fitted? Seems like a basic miss, which makes you wonder if anything else has been half-way done.

They've spent a lot of money on swanky tiling, but left all the artex in place.

Well it might just be me, but the wall tiles look a bit wonky.

Anyone else clocked the inventive floor plan for the first floor?

The second bedroom is drawn as the largest but the measurements say it is the smallest.

Meanwhile the third bedroom is drawn tiny but allegedly almost as big as the first bedroom. I suppose they might have just flipped the measurements on bed 2 and 3.

I suspect that means it's the pre-1980s stuff with asbestos that is a hazard as soon as you sand or remove it.

It's the "not my job" attitude of the person taking the photo, that gets me. That cable didn't need to be in the picture.

45 beds would surely be a hotel wouldn't it?

So true - I can't even figure out where the black cable goes to - but it just shouldn't have been in the photo at all.....

I kind of like that. I mean it'd make the architect cry when they saw what i'd do to their master piece to make it actually liveable but if i had that much to spend on it i wouldn't care. Mind you there are a lot of places I'd spend £35m on before that.

That's not a living space, it's someone who has engaged a office interior designer to design their home..

Handy for the motorway (in that it's less than 600m away).

If they're not then the doors are really tall because the door frames meet the ceiling.
