What goes through an EA mind...

[Berimbolo]

when they market a property in this condition, for offers over 400k?

jeez, what a state.
I’m guessing owned by an elderly person who’s died and relatives have picked the place apart?
Price does seem mad

Bit of a do-er-upper

They do say you might recoil away in horror, wonder what the family think of that 😯

Big plot. Demolish the garage and build another house behind the bungalow or a pair of semis facing the street.

Whilst the house may have potential, the price is what's wrong with the SE housing market. I'm not sure the offer of the iPad is going to sway anyone but I may be wrong!

Wow! Is it on an amazing piece of land and the theory is you'd knock it down and build something else there?

Surely even paying a few cleaners to do a professional clean would mean they could add £ to the price? Looks like there’s been squatters in it.

I live ten miles from there. If they can fit three houses on the land as posters above have said, they would get £1.8m for three renovated and completed new builds. Not a bad investment.

It's not just what goes through an EA mind, it's what goes through a vendor's mind. It looks as if squatters got in after an old person died but why on earth didn't they clean up before putting on the market?

Sorry to disappoint, the plot is literally the width of the garage and bungalow. A decent garden but it's right in the middle of a housing estate so you could knock it down and start fresh but it's still expensive when compared to other properties in the area in much better condition.

I guess I was just shocked to see it.

It's the development value that's the key to this. Also the street is a long one with different types and styles of houses.
