I'm sliding around just looking at it

I bet that’s all vinyl wrap.

Looks like early 90s raytrace renders inside.

Obviously they skimped out, what with the lack of marble in the bedrooms

"Good sized rear garden"? That is a postage stamp!

I love the absolute compromise on the placement of that PS5. And each stair step has its own tiny rug?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Exactly what I came to comment on. Got a TV that's half way off the wall and a ps5 hiding on the stairs just ready to take someone out.

Maybe, but they definitely like drugs

Can someone in the UK tell me how that home costs £450k? Is real estate that crazy over there or are they trying to recover the £300k they spent for the marble?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not in the UK, but I'm guessing, like real estate anywhere, high population + limited availability?

There are 9 million people living in London. 607 square miles, which means, on average, 14,827 people per square mile.

Compared to, say, San Francisco with 808,000 people in 47 square miles, 17,191 people per square mile.

Globally though, numbers like this aren't even in the top 25:

My "city" is embarrassed. 635,000 people in 145 square miles. 4,379 people per square mile. We're absolutely porous by comparison.

Reading that I had to check my area, and it's a whopping 1518 people in 205.11 square miles or about 7 people per square mile. You got us beat by a long shot.

This is one of the areas that London expanded into, it was in Essex until to 60s. It's not desirable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

That's London prices for you. That's likely the bottom end of the price scale.

40 mins to central London on tube. Lots of green spaces near by. 2 solid square bedrooms, all the cosmetic crap easily stripped out. Hard standing for 2 cars, decent back garden. Semi detached.

The only reason it's not more is "it's Dagenham" and the general shabby state of the street.

This'll get snapped up by professional couple earning 160k+ combined willing to await the inevitable gentrification in 5/10 years.

Amazing what passes for a "decent back garden" in the UK. My "back garden" is a 1/4 acre (1000m^2 ) on a property worth $140k USD including the 1200ft^2 (120m^2 ) house.

On the downside my exterior walls are made of glue and sawdust, and my interior walls are made of paper and powdered gypsum.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Ignoring the obvious, I was not expecting that kind of money being dropped on the interior based on the photos of the exterior.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

They're probably not allowed to modify the exterior at all and made the best of it for whatever reason

I get a strong 'my mate's company bought too much of this for a project and asked if I wanted it for pennies on the pound so I said yeah, put it fucking everywhere' vibe

[–] [email protected] 56 points 4 months ago (1 children)

(I am so sorry, please, whatever gods there may be forgive me...)

Whoever sells this is going to lose their marbles.
