Re: House for sale at £2,000.....but

Oh my word ! Enough paper in there to light a bonfire ! Considerable water damage ? Hmmm ...that could well mean someone simply walked out ?
An agent will probably make a killing .
Bradford was a lovely place to go for a treat ,shoppin and to the theatre when I was a girl .
My mother used to take me several times a year .
Ruined totally now of course .

Perhaps the result of a fire being put out?

I've seen worse properties on Homes Under The Hammer being sold at auction then being done up and the results are astounding.

Whoever buys it will make some money, no doubt, but I reckon that place will go on the rental market rather than be sold on.

This is how it works down here:

Freehold: Someone who owns the freehold of a property owns the property and the land it stands on, for an unlimited period.
Leasehold: Unlike a freeholder, as a leaseholder you own the property BUT NOT the land on which it is built – that is owned by the freeholder.

More, impartial, information about Leasehold can be found here: https://www.lease-advice.org/
Oh thanks, Percy! Yes that's helpful

Re: House for sale at £2,000.....but

Overall Bradford isn't maybe the best place to live then. (not that I was thinking of moving, I just couldn't get over the price of that house) It was someone's home, with their things still in it, and it just looks terribly sad and neglected. Don't know how they could have coped with all that mould on the walls though, that's pretty disgusting.

I just looked at the area on Google Streets . I’ve seen much much worse ! There are trees and grassy patches and what looks like a children’s play area across the road .
The mould surely a result of the water damage?

You would think so, with the way the ceiling are falling in. I do wonder why they weren't fixed though? Money maybe? It must affect the wiring and everything. Thats what I meant in the original post - it needs tearing down and rebuilding from scratch. Surely its gone too far to fix up?
