Wow. Now this is a project!
Having cancelled a viewing this morning due to the house looking like something out of "Carry On to Brighton Beach", we had another scheduled for this afternoon in a house which we had a feeling had tons more potential.
It's perfect. Low price (under £100k for 4 bedrooms, a good prospect wherever you are), overgrown gardens, toilet out the back, kitchen in need of ripping and replacing... and its just about livable!
From first impressions no damp proofing needed although there are a multitude of windows at the front and back which will need replacing, lots of plastering, rewiring, paper, plastering, carpets, plumbing, bits of stairs, more plastering, knocking walls down and some visitors at the top of the back chimney may well need evicting - just visible here:
I don't know much about the whole process but I do know we should make an offer if we are interested. Having spoken to the owner of the house I can pretty much guarantee one of two offers will be accepted. The OH and I have talked and looked at the pictures over and over this afternoon, I cant wait 'til Monday to get the offer in! There is always a downside in these things as they always seem to happen to me... someone else saw the house half an hour before we did. I just hope they don't call the agent with a higher offer.
Never before have I said I can't wait for the weekend to be over!
