Also their 'renovations' usually just need to be taken out or repaired to normal by the buyer as they rarely use proper licensed tradesmen, or check to see if what they're doing is even sound for the building. I've seen a center brick fireplace, clearly holding up the roof, just ripped out and plastered over.

This made my European building standard brain spasm… how could one… that’s outright negligence…

No, that's outright profit.

They also built the existing garage into a bedroom only accessible through the back of another bedroom. I get building a hallway is more complicated, but unless you wanna feel like you're going to Narnia every bedtime, it's just not gonna be a sell point.
