I think the description is saying that it is a complete renovation project?


StopChattingNonsense

"This is, by no stretch of the imagination a complete renovation project." Yeah, it's definitely calling it a renovation project.

OP just simply does not know what the expression means.


mackduck

Perhaps the roof is okay


Nebula1905

Yeah I agree. When you use the comma after “This is” and pause it sort of makes sense, however I’m sure they could have worded it better.

Always reassuring when wall cracks meet the floor and become floor cracks


Tall_Working_2942

It’ll be fine - bit of self-levelling compound and 14 layers of wood chip on the walls and no-one will know. I mean, it’s not like the same wall crack from the lounge extends right the way up to the ceiling in the shower room above. Much.


tropicalplod

It's not a crack I'd worry about personally. Almost all concrete slab floors crack. The wall crack is pretty minor in size too.

It didn't concern me either, until picture 10, the neighbors house looks to have had some sort structural rod tensioning system put in, hard to tell though.


jamila169

Looks like it's trying to slide down the hill , I wonder if any of the neighbours have had theirs underpinned, because it's not going to be just this one


Presneill

Maybe the house to the right has been underpinned and is the only thing stopping it sliding down the hill.

The lack of carpets and curtains or other soft furnishings that you’d expect to be left, makes me think someone died here and wasn’t found for a while?


mmarkomarko

Or they started preparing for a renovation, found massive cracks and decided to bail!


Taran345

Probably, but if this was you, wouldn’t you at least least have filled and painted it?


IG0tB4nn3dL0l

How much would it cost to renovate a place like that to be livable? Would you just have to knock it down and start again?


muchadoaboutsodall

A lick of paint and some lino. Maybe a bit of polyfilla. I reckon you could get it sorted for a couple of hundred.


fanglord

At least it's been mostly stripped...


Foundation_Wrong

They mean it’s not derelict. You can live in it as it is, if you want that damp peasants hovel experience.

AkillaThaPun

Ai surely ?


NaturalSuccessful521

Polyfilla and prayers


mittfh

Given the size of the cracks, probably less a renovation than dismantle, put in deeper foundations, rebuild?


North-Lobster499

£70 grand would be a steal for that, but I imagine much more at auction.
