This beauty even comes with its own business, so you’re getting an absolute bargain!

I honesty don’t know why they didn’t think to clear it out before they took the photos.

Just realised I’ve linked zoopla.

It has now been removed from rightmove but it’s still on zoopla.

That is unbelievable, has anyone reported it to the police I wonder?

louise5754 · 06/03/2023 09:25

Bloody hell. Who would rent that knowing anyone could turn up? Police / druggies / dealers. My god!!

😮 OMG

This is round the corner from where I work!

bellac11 · 06/03/2023 09:27

All I can think when I see those pictures is that they've had some poor Vietnamese kid in there at some point tending the plants.

You win 🤣

Description
The property comprises a second floor two bedroom flat situated within a mixed use building arranged over ground and two upper floors. The property has been recently used to grow cannabis and requires a program of refurbishment.
I suppose at least it's honest .I'd probably appreciate knowing rather than not if I were considering buying .

QuietlyConfident · 06/03/2023 09:32

Blimey. Huge potential if you didn't mind living on a busy high street, but on the downside, the ever-present risk of a knock on the door from the previous owner's business associates.

Pixiedust1234 · 06/03/2023 09:32

Who do you think they were supplying, the Chemist or the Vape shop ? I cant see it selling as its got quite a short lease as well 😯

QuietlyConfident · 06/03/2023 09:34

And I guess it would smell as well.

Mialouu · 06/03/2023 09:35

I like their honesty though!

Where did you get that from?

AhhSlippedOnMahBeansRitaaa · 06/03/2023 09:38

The video tour 😲
I can't believe it has planning permission to be changed to 2 x one bedroom flats though 🙄

Namechange828492 · 06/03/2023 09:40

I don't know that part of london but 275 with PP to turn into 2 x flats is good value, it's an auction so assume will go for lots more

doubleshotcappuccino · 06/03/2023 09:42

That's unbelievable.. thank you !

Where did you get that from?

From her Little Book of Racist Tropes.

Available in all good bookshops

Where did you get that from?

Vietnamese children are often trafficked into the country to be exploited to run cannabis 'farms'. They're told in their home country that they are going to be 'farmers' and a better life in the UK. The reality is they are virtually trapped in these houses, making sure the plants are tended 24/7, no phone, no way of asking for help or even recognising they need help

I work with asylum seeking children (among other children) and this is a common situation

Thats true!

This would definitely put me off buying it as I’d be worried about who knows the address as PPs have said.

If I was an estate agent I would have definitely cleared it out but I guess it’s good that they are honest. It’s just so weird!

OP posts:
BarbaraofSeville · 06/03/2023 10:14

Seriously?

I can't believe the owner/agent would try and sell the property without informing the police and then you'd think that the evidence would have been removed?

I found out that a house on our street had been used as a cannabis farm when several police vans turned up and cleared it all out.
