Real Estate nightmares
Discussion
Savills tend not to deal at the lower end of the market.

Putney
6 Beds
£3.7M

Starts off ok
Clearly in need of some serious modernisation
erm
The 3D viewing thingy gets progressively worse. Especially when you go down to the basement self contained flat which according to the agents
"which will allow the purchaser an unusual degree of flexibility moving forward"
Assuming that a new buyer has unlimited funds. It's going to cost what? £1Million+ to get rid of all the obvious (and not so obvious) damp. And gut it, new doors and windows throughout, new décor, new kitchen + everything else. Probably a roof if it's in as bad a state as the whole building!
I suspect like the properties either side of it, it will be bought, demolished and some flats built there.

Okay, not a nightmare as such - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prop...
Internal decoration seems to have been inspired by watching too much Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
Pictures 7, 8 and 9 are what I can't get over... for almost 1/2 million pounds in a town setting, that's the extent of your outside space ? Definitely, modern houses are not for me.

Is it just me or does that estate look like it's occupied by rampant swingers.Internal decoration seems to have been inspired by watching too much Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.

It probably feels smaller than the photos (as the Bishop said to the actress)

does anyone else feel vaguely sad/depressed at the properties on this thread? Some of the older houses were, at some point, someone's 'castle' and their home not just a house/building and now there's barely memories left... 
Hopefully, the state the property is in gives someone with vision the opportunity to own it and bring it back to something good. 
Ours wasn't exactly a nightmare but the decor was fairly insensitive to the period of the house and was all very randomly picked and shoddily done. It is a absolute pleasure to be able to bring it back to something more in keeping with the house and make it more homely.

Yeah that's a quirky joint. That 5cm step in the middle of nowhere would be a prick of a thing. The zig-zag kitchen, bog in the laundry room (err, utility room), tiny bathroom, entrance hall which is halfway through to the back of the house....Chris Type R said:

Picture 18 belongs on the "These Pictures Make My Teeth Itch" thread. Internal decoration seems to have been inspired by watching too much Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.

not a property nightmare per-se (the garden is lovely and the house, seems, immaculate) - more an issue of presentation...
