There's a story or two there. What's weird is there are multiple photographs of what we might call the front as if the photographer couldn't really make sense of it all.

This:

A detached house situated on Barrington Road via walk way beside house number 2B

Plus the map suggest it is here on Google Maps, tucked between the houses on the road and the railway line. Which probably explains the lack of windows.

It's currently rented? Jesus, it should be illegal to be renting a slum like that full of mold >:|

And it probably is, but I'm sure that doesn't stop the scumbag landlords

My, how innocent.

People go in. Meat and used clothes come out. No windows for better soundproofing.

I'm more shocked at the price. For that horrible "house" in that terrible state, directly near a railway. Don't even wanna know what a nice house in a nicer area might cost in London.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That isn't the price, just an auction guide price - it may go for a lot more.

Might still be the cheapest house of its size in London though.

what the...jeez. That's even....wow. WHY? I wouldn't want to live in that house FOR 200.000, despite PAYING it. Sure, it might be London, but...is it really worth so much to live there?!

Or does the average McDonalds-employee in London make 5000 after taxes? Then it would be okay, but i just kinda doubt it.

You wouldn't be living in the house, it has a sitting tenant paying £1,675/mo.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

oh right, I've just read. Which is...wow. Nice investment. A wonder one still does find tenants with those prices.

thats somehow worse.

i think ive never made that much money monthly.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

It's really easy to... just it all goes to the landlord.

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

This makes me so sad.

I hope this comes up on Homes Under the Hammer. "Plenty of potential here for someone wanting to expand their rental portfolio! Seems to be a slight issue with damp...."

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hmmmmmm I wonder if it needs a new roof? Who can say?

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The walls also look like they're letting water in, which is why you can see the cinderblock pattern on the walls.

The cracked kitchen tile is also... Interesting. The floor is either super jacked up or the tile was installed horribly wrong to be able to shatter like that.

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 4 points 2 months ago

I wonder if the old tenant is, like, still alive

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

That is just… living in absolute squalor. Jesus Christ

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 4 points 2 months ago

Jesus fuck the mold. There's so much in there, that slumlord might start trying to charge it rent.

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How is this worth anything more than 50 000 £ and 300 £ per month lol 💀💀💀

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

It's in London. Nuff said.
