I went to look at a house today. It was built in the 1930s and looks like it has had nothing done to it since, especially the kitchen and bathroom. The windows were broken, the ceilings had holes in them, the walls needed replastering, there was no central heating, the garden (admittedly a good size) was a jungle. It was every bit in the worst condition you can imagine except that the floor boards looked good. The loos and bathroom were so disgusting, I held ds3 in my arms afraid he would get typhoid just being there. It was completely unlivable in. Now I am prepared to take on a house that needs refurbishment but this was something else. Also, it wasn't actually big enough for us so it would have to be extended. And the price? A cool (and non-negotiable it would seem) £400,000.
It is the only house on the market I have even considered viewing. What a disappointment.
