Real Estate nightmares (Vol 2)

Bloody hell, it's like an exercise in designing the least aesthetically pleasing house possible.

Admittedly I do tend to buy houses with my head rather than my heart, but even I'd have struggled to sign on the dotted line for that abomination.

The thing is your head, knows that aesthetics matters, so putting your sensible head on, it tells your heart that something is ugly and reminds the heart to show negative emotion to it.

Is that right ? Or bullst ?

Do not let the relatively appealing exterior and grounds fool you! Enter at your own risk! I would be insisting that every last square inch of the interior of this house was removed prior to handover! They’re clearly on very good terms with the faux flower distributor!

You do get a lot of house for your money in that part of the world.

Love the property. Love the furniture on page 24/25.
95% of the garbage will disappear when they remove their furnishings.
Change the kitchen work tops and splashbacks to something a little less eyesore then you're quids in

Yup - that's potentially going to go for a decent price to someone who can see through the current decor. Our house was hideous when we bought it. Lots of viewings, no offers, we got it for a nice chunk less than the average for similar sized on the same road.

mind you isn't it a little close to Brum for comfort?

Reduced by £250k since I posted it in this thread a couple of years ago and even then it was already marked as reduced so not sure what it started at

According to the plug-in I use..

I don't mind the interior, but the exterior has me very confused.

Multiple wall types/surfaces/colours, metal railings, dark wood railing, light wood railings, flat roof, angled roof. It's like someone with multiple personalities. Or started by one builder, fell out with customer, new builder started something else and repeat.

Sadly it's more likely to get cheap grey laminate bombing.

I often wonder what goes through architects' minds (assuming an architect was involved). The corners of the walls give them their strength. Putting the windows there massively reduces that strength as thew front elevation is no longer tied into the gables for the top quarter of its height. I can pretty much guarantee there won't be a vertical steel corner post trying to deal with this problem.

I find nowadays, with the new estates, the cheapest way is the best way.
I remember at my ex's place, you could see the neighbours fence. The piece of wood tying the uprights together wasnt long enough so what would any decent person do? That's right, just cut a longer length. What these bozo's did was nail the original bit up and then another bit underneath!

It was shared a page or so back, but agree it's a lovely house.... just requires a skip for the interior

Its as if one person was in charge of the exterior and styling of the grounds and someone else (who was blind) was in charge of the interior.
