To think that if you are putting your house on the market you could at least...

[margerykemp]

pick up the appleas that have fallen off the tree?

put away the kids' toys?

put the toilet seat down?

Glazed the windows?

and flattened the rug?

Estate agents are to blame in using such poor pictures

But yes, you'd think people would try to make things looks as presentable as possible

It looks like it could well be a repo to me, they have just left that stuff there.

how exactly can a boarded up window be photographed well? I'm intrigued?

For 340k, I'd want it to look clean, but I'd also think that I could maybe knock the price down a bit, on account of it being a bit of a hole.

Pictures must be from last autumn if there are fresh apples on the ground, surely?!

Oooh, I love your nickname, OP.

It looks abandoned to me, too.

It could be that the house is being sold by the building society..

perhaps the people who owned the house emergrated and wants a sale, een if it is offered below the market value or its a reprocession.

Well it can't - so use one or two pics and floor plans only

perhaps they just want it sold. perhaps it has been reposessed and is sold as seen, perhaps it was left in a will to someone who lives abroad and has just given it to the estate agent to sell as quick as. perhaps the owners have zero cash to glaze. perhaps a lot of stuff that you've never had to deal with.

Christ that's expensive, almost southern prices for a an unattractive mess!

how many bathrooms are in that place?

Is that a pair of pants on the grass in picture 12? Ace.

And yes, they've done a flit. It looks a heck of a lot less grim than some of the abandoned properties I used to see in my past life as a housing officer, just really sad.

Its empty. I would say it is a repossession or a failed property development project where they ran out of money.

I hate it when estate agents only give one or two pics/a floor plan with a vague indiction a house is a do-er-upper; if a house is on for under what you'd expect, they should put why on the website. imo.

Looks to me like the owners left in a hurry and possibly not entirely willingly.

As other have said, looks like the people left quickly - either a repossession or tenants leaving in a hurry. Sad. It would put me off buying the place.

looks like a repossession

Iambooyhoo- dont make judgements about me. Whether it's the estate agents ot the sellers someone could have put 20mins effort into improving those pictures.

It probably is a developemnt that ran out of money. Very sad. They arent going to get anywhere near that price in that state.

Actually, the pics make me feel sad. It's obviously a repo, a family with small children, and they couldn't take all the children's toys with them :( Not currently being lived in makes sense of the fallen apples too.

If it's a repo, then it's a bank or other financial institution that's selling the property, and THEY DON'T CARE.

I like the fallen apples.

I thought repo too. sad.

Looks like a repo to me too - I bought one that was in a state like this. My first ever house, for the princely sum of £23,500. Not missing a zero at all. And this was only 10 years ago!

I had the "vision" but then to be fair, I also has a LOT of cleaning and decorating to do! Still, was my first house and all.

Its always a bit sad though.

have you ever watched homes under the hammer, so people buy some right states, give them a few weeks and the house is very disirable.
