@Dagnabit

The grass was a welcome relief…
I'm waiting for them to manufacture grey AstroTurf, you know there would be a market for it. Grin

@Wagsandclaws

The whole thing looks like a 1980's Athena poster Grin
Nailed it 🤣

There is not a single nice thing about that house. Not one. Just horrible.

The video was funny though.

Georgist · 15/10/2021 17:37

Maybe the person living there is colour blind and can only see red!

I don't think the paintings are too bad.

Why do 'powerful' men always do the holding one cufflink pose in pics? Grin

StarCourt · 15/10/2021 17:56

Very easy to put your own stamp on that house though.

Dear Lord... he's tagged himself 'WolfOfRealEstate' Confused

To me, it looks like one of those cosmetic surgery recovery clinics/apartments or a Midlands carpet shop.

I think it’s supposed to imply they are getting dressed … i.e. were recently naked … i.e. they’ve just finished shagging

Only if your own stamp goes well with grey and chrome. If not, there’s an awful lot of redecoration there.
Standrewsschool · 15/10/2021 18:44

I actually don’t mind it. The decor is bland, but it’s a blank canvas for you to put your mark on. Bit near a major road though.

VeniVidiWeeWee · 15/10/2021 19:58

Would any of you care to post photos of your own houses so we can all sneer at them?

It may not be to your taste but people have different opinions.

Oh, sorry, this is Mumsnet. They don't.

DappledThings · 15/10/2021 20:16

I do remember as a child that Lady Byron was the posh/aspirational road (that and Lovelace Avenue) but it was a quiet road with period properties back then, it’s a very different place now.
Yes, I remember LBL as the really nice road too. If this hideousness is what is there now it has really changed. I haven't been there since about 2002.

WhatTimeDoYouCallThis · 15/10/2021 20:25

That video is as funny as f. amazing.

Suzi888 · 15/10/2021 20:31

If there was no red, it would just be black and white. Sad Poor little house, has had the life sucked right out of it! Where’s all their stuff? Grin.

The second house you posted is beautiful.

DappledThings · 15/10/2021 20:31

I can't see a link to the video. I think I'm missing something!

user1493494961 · 15/10/2021 20:34

You could perform an autopsy in the kitchen.

Yes that’s what I want to know @Threewheeler1. If they were as old as me they’d know not to do it because it’s the pose of the suit-wearing man in Kay’s catalogues of the 1970s and I doubt that’s the look they are aiming for. It’s all a bit Man at C&A does gangsta for me.

OK, got it now. Doesn't appear on the RM app, I had to go to the website. That is quite something!

Looks like Tyron and his crew are used to their fame and all doing very well from their trade : www.thesun.co.uk/news/14343907/estate-agents-tyron-ash-instagram/

Well...I love red so it wouldn't bother me that much from a viewing pov.

It's clean, modern and neutral and easy to see it as a blank canvas which is not a bad thing when househunting.

It's not somewhere you'd move in and leave it as is but I'd be quite happy with it as a starting point tbh.

anxiousstanley · 15/10/2021 21:09

Because it has no soul.

Bellyups · 15/10/2021 21:18

I think it’s ok. I could make it really lovely.
