Goodness me that “Reno” was an absolute tragedy.

The one where they’d replaced an attractive mature garden with a sheet of plastic, and painted everything grey? 😬

Amazed they sold it.

MonsteraDeliciosa · 19/02/2026 00:30

But then again how did they sell it, if there was no interest just 3 days ago?

Something weird going on here!

HellonHeels · 19/02/2026 08:27

Maybe they had a low offer and posted to see if they should take it?

I still don’t think the OP was the owner of that house. Maybe a horrified relative of the previous owners? Or an aggrieved neighbour?

ThroughTheRedDoor · 19/02/2026 09:11

I rhink they posted here to boost the views and get some interest. Seems to have worked!

I didn’t read enough of the thread initially to see the ‘before’ images. That poor house, it deserved so much better. And why pull up the lawn.

I think you could well be right.

I recall one person on the thread saying they loved it, maybe they swooped in with an offer of £2.50 and a bag of posh crisps!

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 19/02/2026 18:38

I think they may have been able to keep their crisps tbh, but maybe we'll all be proved wrong!

Curiousor and curiousor!

We'll need to keep an eye out and see what it actually sold for.

YourWinter · 20/02/2026 08:08

It just goes to show that there’s no accounting for taste!

Maybe the “before” listing on the previous thread showed how much nicer the house could be with the makeover undone and someone went for it on that basis?
