My sister just bought her first house.
Filthy doesnt come close to describing it, the previous owner was disabled and had no access to upstairs. He also smoked about 200 fags a day going by
the completely brown and orange decor, which used to be white, and the overpowering stench of nicotine.
She got it for a good price though, and its all cosmetic really. Yeah, we have to spend some time and effort cleaning and redecorating, but thats all
it is. Apart from 1 section of guttering needing fixed, there is nothing structural needing done, it has decent, well fitted windows and doors etc.
I am changing the kitchen and bathroom suite too, but she had allowed for that in the budgets as it was all funky 70`s stuff originally.
You have to see how the house will look once the current tenant has moved out, taking their junk with them.
