Should we tidy up for the Estate Agents pictures ? Nah hun, fuck it … 🙈

I'm itchy just looking at this !

I am a messy person and this was awful for me, I wouldn't even have a close friend round with my flat like this! the crumpled bed was the icing on the cake :ROFLMAO: imagine being the estate agent coming round realising this is what you have to photpgraph

The freezer light is still on, so does that mean someone has been/is still living there?! 😱
The kettle is plugged in too. The kitchen looks fairly functional. I wonder if the recent occupants just used a few rooms and shut off the worst ones.

it is an enormous growth sector in the UK. Half of the new developments at Wembley follow this model, Blackhorse lane in Walthamstow, wood wharf in Canary Wharf, lots of woolwich, the new developments in Wandsworth where Homebase and b&q used to be. Within the next 5 years this will be a significant part of the London rental market.

eta: this is not necessarily better for renters. It will be a faceless management company who don’t give a shit that will deal with any issues. There are already blocks where tenants are looking to sue institutional landlords over poorly built properties
Yeh and service charges can be a nightmare i imagine, my block has no facilities except cleaners to pay for and the service charge is exorbitant

This cat is beautiful. I hope it’s the cats bedroom…no one else allowed.

It’s not my style of room but it’s well done. Share away any more cute pets. Made my night.

Can you remember when someone saw their cat in next doors photos when the house went up for sale. Was all over social media at one point!

I got sent a similar picture of one of my cats though the neighbours' house wasn't for sale. He's unofficially moved in with them though now.

that sounds ideal! like in a jacuzzi, why is this not more common?!
It was a bit like this but deeper and with a seat.

A more traditional style perhaps?

Or even a whirlpool bath with shower and steam compartment?

Not sure why that is an issue if someone is renting, poorly maintained yes. Also with more rental communities available it becomes much easier to move on (albeit a bit expensive) and also easier to find out which properties are maintained well with proactive management

It looks like the front part of the house is an extension according to the description. So they have added bedroom 5 onto bedroom 2 which looks like it may be set up for a carer. Then added a door from their main bedroom to that bedroom. Makes sense if you consider the needs they have.
Oh yeh no denying it would be good for their needs.

But calling it a 5 bed when really 2 are one room accessed off another is a bit of a stretch for people without those needs

Planning permission potential for at least one plot and rope for dividing into multiple pets or an HMO.
Bit cheeky to value at potential when planning hasn’t been granted but you’re definitely not paying that just for the house as such
If anyone was in any doubt that house prices are absolutely fucked right now:
