What’s wrong with this flat?

[Curly12345]

Why isn’t this selling?

I think about 6 months…I think it started at £400k

What makes even less sense is that there's nothing inherently bedroom-y or dining-room-y about either of the rooms, so why didn't they just label them with the dining room next to the kitchen?!

What is the metal frame at the back of the garden ? It looks like a new structure that would overlook your garden

I'm confused why you care if it's not your flat tbh.

It's not on Rightmove?

It’s the train depot I think

I thought exactly the same

Not enough photos of the rooms but they had to include one of the stairs bannisters. Why??

Garden looks dark and depressing.

It's a lease.

Council tax D. How much is that?

It just looks grotty tbh.

Yeah I think that’s something to do with that particular estate agent and the sites they sign up to.

Is it yours ? Or are you in the market for investment out of interest - because taking my son as an example and I don’t think he’s an exception, he would go for a nicely maintained communal garden , no parking issues , a nicer area and a good interior and shared freehold every time.over a patch of rather grim garden

loooooool this made me proper laugh. Thank you.
There’s obviously a reason I’m asking for opinions.

the block of garages down that service road do not look like they get much use. In fact that service road and secluded space has all the hallmarks of a drug users hangout area.

rubbish
I have already given the rightmove links for both flats

No not mine but I’m in the process of buying something really close to it (also 2 bed) and I’m a bit worried about the resale because of the trains and the parking situation.

Ones on right move, the other is just on the market?

Because it's bloody awful! 😱

It’ll probably end up being dumping ground

OMG look at my first reply in this thread BOTH are on RM, hence I gave both links in my reply

It'a a lot of money for a poorly decorated run down flat.

The carpets are worn and dirty and need replacing, the kitchen is dated

The woodwork on the stairs is damaged and needs stripping and painting

The fencing in the garden is crap and needs replacing.

Basically it looks like a money pit.

The photos are.poor, the description more so...for a leasehold the length should be stated. And I think 250 is great for a mortgage lender but if it doesn't state it, I personally am going to assume it is under 100 years which is then more difficult to get a mortgage on.

My first thought was the structure that can be seen from the garden. If it’s the end of the train line, how noisy will that be?

But also, the photos are just completely joyless - stained carpet, dated kitchen and no hint there’s any kind of potential. Is it a probate sale and someone’s family just want shot of it? There’s not been any attempt to make it look attractive anyway.

At least with the second one, it’s clean, modern and ready to move into.

I feel stressed just looking at the parking on street view

yeah I think it will be quite noisy. Maybe that’s why it hasn’t sold

i was thinking probate or potentially ex rental? Hard to tell

Are you ok? Why so angry?

That’s my concern as well…buying nearby and I’m nervous

It's at the rail junction or smth. Of course it will put ppl off. It's probably ex-council, people were supposed to live for free in such location.
