A property one: would you describe this house as a “blank canvas”?

It’s the bathroom that sold it to me.

Me too! I was just going to comment on the arty shot 😆

i cant believe the prices in London that house needs at least another £100k to bring it to middle of the road basic liveable condition without any high end anything, you could buy four houses in our street in Halfax and still have £95k change and we live in a nice part of town, the house in Bedale ooh yes please that looks lovely and its a lovely part of the dales

Wow, what a dump!

I grew up in a house in a much cheaper area. My parents got divorced when I was a kid and my dad ended up with the house (long story). A couple of years later he met someone else, started spending less time there until he just never bothered going back. No one did any maintenance and at one point there were squatters in there. Someone ended up buying it, knocking it down and rebuilding. So that's one way something like this can happen.

I'm surprised it would happen in such an expensive area but when a house isn't lived in or maintained, it can fall apart surprisingly quickly.

The price!! 😳😳😳

Living in London is insane!

I live near both these houses. This one is absolutely not Wimbledon. I agree this one is much nicer but there's a reason its been on since before July and that's because i think its very punchily priced for our area (probably because IT ISNT WIMBLEDON 🤣).

Oh my! That poor house!

I feel sorry for the neighbours either side!

It looks like it been derelict since the late 70s, judging by the decor. 😱

Wow that is beautiful!!

Possibly, but it’s a mid-terrace. How much would it cost to shore up the party walls?

A builder could make a lot of money on it by turning it into a genuine blank canvas, ready to move into - it's a big house.

Wow! You could buy the street where I live and still have change. Absolutely crazy how high London prices are, I don't know how anyone who's not on a combined income of under £100k can afford it.

Not a blanket canvas. Not a project. More like a full rebuild.

I'm a North Yorkshire born & bred girl. I'll take the mansion in Bedale any day!

Seven. Hundred. GRAND?!?

Fuck me....

Oh my!

Nice garden..

Bloody hell, it need setting fire to

Omg I snorted when I got to the bathroom photo 😂😂 even on London prices that is very overpriced considering the cost and effort to get it to a decent condition - it’s not like it’s a super special building that will command big bucks when done, just a
standard terrace.

I thought that too. £100k wouldn’t touch the sides of making that habitable.

It's ripe for someone to hire bodgers to do a superficial job of redeveloping it, laying grey carpet and renting it out for silly money as a "luxury" pad.

would you describe this house as a “blank canvas”?
I would if I were an estate agent.
Why is everything in the garden dead?

Wow if those walls could talk! I would love to know the background to this, how did a once presumably decent family home end up like that when it could be like this one on the same road?

The bedroom wallpaper is very Overlook Hotel. I don't want to know what's under the water in that bath.

It’s very sad. You wonder what’s happened there. I feel for the neighbours, too.

That would probably be the Agent Orange they used to get rid of all the overgrown foliage.

Crikey - a bit of a doer upper! And that staircase seriously looks haunted.

Definitely a wet canvas with that hole in the roof.

Cannot get my head around who can afford these prices.
