It seems most private cars sales on eBay include a "good bits" "bad bits" section, which I personally think is great, you know about the problems upfront.

It got me thinking, what if houses were advertised in the same way?

3 bedroom semi detached in a great location close to amenities and with access to excellent schools

Good bits
Recent new windows, gravel driveway and insulated garage

Bad bits
Bloke at number 4 parks his transit right outside, neighbour has an annoying dog, pretty sure the couple at number 7 are running a business from their kitchen, on a hot day the drains smell awful

I wonder if this approach might catch on ?

Just needs a vacuum and someone to run around with a duster. First to see will buy.

Reluctant sale but P/X for a bed sit or a 6 bed mansion (mortgage either way) as basically I’m desperate to get shot of my dump as it’s got subsidence.

Tastefully modified

Obscenely expensive st hole slave box. Price driven through the roof by the buy to let brigade, government props and ten years of ultra-low interest rates.

You were born at the wrong time, tough tits, time to spend the next 25 years paying for my foreign holidays and new cars.

Call 0800 Baby Boomer for further details of how you've been screwed over.

The house is on a street that is guaranteed to be a future highly desirable street.

Reflecting on future demand I'll price it accordingly. I want double what I paid last week.
