Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

Ceiling fans use very little electricity and can help keep you cool. It won't do anything much if it's like 100 degrees out but it helps especially at more reasonable summer temperatures. They are good for circulating air and can help with heating as well. Source: there's a ceiling fan behind my couch and it makes me super cold sometimes.
Thank you for the insight! As it gets hotter and hotter in the UK I wonder if electric ceiling fans will be a more realistic proposition than air con? Most houses don’t have the type of windows you can stick an AC unit in and I imagine it’s really expensive to install and run the “proper” ones.
Might have better luck with the ones called “portable” air conditioners. The whole units don’t sit in the window, just the hose with an adjustable filler piece to create a seal.
Sorry, I forgot to reply to this. Thanks for the info! Sash windows aren’t the most common type in the UK unfortunately. The majority of windows open outwards from the top or side. If you live in a flat like I do, your windows also open outwards but only a few centimetres. I’m not sure it would be possible to create a temporary seal around the hose bit. I think the majority of UK homes will be dependent on fans and ceiling fans.
