You can almost smell that house through the pictures I wonder how big a house fire you would need to get rid of the smells?

Where should we put these clothes ? Wardrobes ? Nah just put them in the shower.Not really a nightmare but which idiot took the photos? I don't think I could tell you what any of the rooms actually look like.

Old people have deteriorating sight and mobility, it's pretty normal for old people's homes to look like that due them not seeing the dirt or as said not being able to keep up with it. I notice it now with my own parents, they're both still active but between their eyesight and the dim lighting in their home they must not see it. I will suggest a cleaner again but no doubt it will be received as well as it was last time. 
My dad's house is depressingly gross since my mum died 4 years ago. I'm not sure whether he doesn't see it or simply doesn't care. I keep suggesting a cleaner and - like you - have received a similar reaction. I assume it is tied up with his weird concerns around "wasting" money but given that he has more than he could ever possibly spend, I really feel that a cleaner would be a good investment! I insisted they continue to pay the current lady during covid. The house is immaculate and decorated in a reasonably modern way. Since Dad died in Jan, mum says she is thinking of moving to the nearest town. Being out in the sticks needs a car and at 87, shes said that she knows she won't be driving much longer. House should sell quickly. Also shes been decluttering since she threw all my toys away without asking me when I was 11. Thanks mum... just need a skip for all the books on Christianity.

For those who don't know the area, its right on the Knavesmire in York - a flippin ace location in theory but this particular house is:
a) leasehold with various rules like no holiday lets etc
b) its literally on a traffic island
c) it needs a fair chunk of work including doing something with the layout (walk through the second bedroom to get to the loo for example!)
d) its on a traffic island!
To show how crazy/undesirable it is, its £310k and I think when it first hit the market a couple of years back it was north of £500k. The houses opposite go for £1m+.

250yr lease at £1 a year isn't the worst, I think whoever drew the floorplan was heavily medicated though as I suspect there are a few missing doorways. I take it that road is busy enough that the "cars go by so often you won't notice"?For those who don't know the area, its right on the Knavesmire in York - a flippin ace location in theory but this particular house is:

Correct - it's the busiest road in/out of York. This time of year with the Xmas markets etc it's like a traffic jam outside your door for 12 hours a day.Definitely an interesting floorplan too. I think it was used as an office for a charity for a while but they vacated a few years back and it's been empty since.
