Real Estate nightmares

Good space, although not quite sure the outskirts of Weston-super-Mare are ready for a soon to be grand design. Probably flats for DSS in that area. Fire damage always risky.

Handy for the osteopath.

I don't know the area, but that's a 2 month project and £40k and then it's worth more than double the guide price right?
I suspect the guide price is ballocks.

I suspect it will achieve between 350-400k. 40k? Even if you spent 100k, you'd still be quids in.

Is that someone following the PH'er strategy of parking an old snotter outside to stop scrubbers using your drive?

Then go forward on the view times, both the Rover and the Mondeo get repaints.

Surely that's what the current owner thought, hence the little test pots on the wall in pic 2. Then by pic 8 they've realised "fk this, far harder than I thought".

Done nicely a 3 bed like that would be 375 ish in that area so suspect there is some money in it but you'd wanna get it cheap to be sure

Funny old street. Look at the front door of the house next door in picture 12

I suspect they've just ripped a porch down and will be 'making good' the outer wall surrounding the new door.

The bath in pic 10 looks like somebody died in it.

They were a tad early with the tester pots too!

Reading between the lines of the description and the "floor in the front bedroom is unsafe so access will not be granted" line, my guess is it's rapidly gone from a simple "strip walls and floors, replaster and stick down laminate" project to, "the place is infested with rot to an advanced state and every bit of structural wood needs inspection and probably replacement" project.

Definite nightmare in that case, although you'd hope someone buying a refurbishment project would do a detailed enough survey to make sure nothing genuinely unpleasant is lurking beneath the faded decor.

I'd not be walking on it

Amateurs.

New laminate down and nobody be the wiser.

Big enough rug would cover that.

That's more than likely was where the last owner was for quite some time before being found

It's an auction so unlikely to get anything like that.

You'd expect the person buying it at auction with a massive warning of, "don't go in the front bedroom unless you fancy a one time only express elevator trip back to the lounge" is going to be a bit less on the, "should we get a proper timber survey done on our DIY refurbishment project? Nah, it'll be fine, break out the tester pots" end of things, though.

Bloody hell that's some garden feature!

Obviously it's clearly in the photos but funny how the description makes no mention of the ENORMOUS PILON STRADDLING THE GARDEN!

£340k for a 2 bed with that in the garden, jeez makes me glad I'm a tight northerner.

So much black and white. Knew he was a Fulham fan.
