To think the estate agents could have asked the owners to at least pick up the bloody bra!!

Picture number 2. Shock.

Eww that's horrible.

I don't like the house at all. Shock at the price.

Scoopmuckdizzy · 10/06/2015 11:15

Haha yes. Currently being used as a HMO though so perhaps current tenant of the room wasn't too bothered about making the room presentable?

BlueBananas · 10/06/2015 11:15

£390,000 for that!?!
God I'm so glad I live in the North!

Suefla62 · 10/06/2015 11:16

It's a student flop.

littlemslazybones · 10/06/2015 11:16

It must be a nightmare trying to sell a house with sitting tenants.

NightOwl17 · 10/06/2015 11:16

They are quite possibly the worst estate agency pictures I have ever seen! Shock

Lweji · 10/06/2015 11:17

It's a rental property and being used as multiple occupation.
What did you expect?

greenbottleglass · 10/06/2015 11:19

I've lived in lots of rentals and manage not to live like a pig, thanks very much Hmm

AlisonBlunderland · 10/06/2015 11:19

I can only assume that the person who wants to sell the house is not living there at the moment!
You would expect the vendor to at least straighten the bed before the photos were taken!

I was taken to view a flat by an agent within half an hour of making the appointment, so the vendor wasn't expecting us.
But surely if you have given an estate agent a key to use when you are out at work, you make the effort to remove the spread of open porn magazines from the kitchen table! ("magazines" shows that this was a long time ago...)
The poor agent was very embarrassed, and kept standing between me and the table pointing out irrelevant thnings on the other side of the kitchen while he shuffled the magazines closed

MrPointy · 10/06/2015 11:20

Well, I didn't expect to see a bra on the floor, that's for sure!

If you think this is bad...

It's pretty funny.

MitzyLeFrouf · 10/06/2015 11:21

No one who has bought in a university city will be surprised. I've seen plenty of properties in a far bigger state than that.

MrPointy · 10/06/2015 11:22

Oh yeah I love that site!

I love that website, Girl! Makes me crack up.

Motortrader · 10/06/2015 11:24

Oops. X post with Sailor.

Lweji · 10/06/2015 11:28

There are worst things than bras that could have been on display. :)

littlemslazybones · 10/06/2015 11:36

sorry greenbottle, I just meant that the tenants might have a vested interest in not facilitating a change in landlord or for their house to be sold to people who want to live in it - not that tenants live like pigs.

CommanderShepard · 10/06/2015 11:37

It's - depressingly - on the cheap end for the area, particularly as pretty sure it's catchment for Cherwell.

I wish I lived in the North.

CSIJanner · 10/06/2015 11:46

That garden looks like one big potential cat litter tray

ArcheryAnnie · 10/06/2015 11:50

I want to buy that poor, abused house and do something with that blasted expanse of garden.

It's a pretty good price for Oxford, despite the mess.

TheFlis12345 · 10/06/2015 11:51

Good God. At least chuck the empty loo roll tubes in the bin before you take a photo!

littlemissmuggins · 10/06/2015 11:51

300 and 90 fucking grand?!!!! Jesus

I can't imagine being that desperate to live in Oxford.

Where I live that would get a comfortable 4 bed detached with garage etc. And we're not in the outer Hebrides - still 2hrs on the train to London.

InstitutionCode · 10/06/2015 11:58

I bet that's not even the expensive bit of Oxford, is it? Looks like it might be an ex LA house? Which is fine, mine is too, but you usually get more for your money.

Owllady · 10/06/2015 12:04

Lol at cat litter tray potential :o
