estate agents photos can and are misleading a lot of times.
they take them with wide angle lens to make them look bigger /they take them from 2 foot off the floor ? /if a property is in so so condition they just take photos of the 2 best rooms / the property i visited on monday was an ex rental / did not look to bad in the photos and i put the magnifier on them / it had furniture in the photos empty on viewing / straight forward refurb i thought but it was a total strip back to bare walls and joists .
dont know how young familys with very young kids who were the other viewers who looked at it ,work around the renovation while living there and how they factor in the costs.
this was a 15k to 20 k plus job for me and for trade to do it £ 40k to 50k when after renovation it was worth 30 to 35 k more tops, minus fees
