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

Yeahhhhhh this strikes me as someone who should have gotten help but didn't and was in a weird place.
And that weird place was a stencil store.
It’s really ironic that while the internet is actually driving all crazy it’s also place where I can see just how sane I actually am
Or you are just not as old yet. Some people also stop caring/get depressed when they get old and live alone.
The paint doesn't bother me one bit, since that's an easy fix and was clearly loved by the previous owner. What bothers me, however, is the clear signs of neglect to the home's maintenance (bathrooms falling apart, yard in disarray, carpets tattered, etc.), which is much more involved to correct, and is usually paired with much more expensive demos (structural, plumbing, electrical, etc.).
Real estate agents when you get to the bedroom:
Thank you. I am properly disoriented now.
It might be. Pretty terrible outsider art, though.
Witness Me
Seems like the listing might be part of a pyramid scheme.
"Oh, Egypt... Egypt... Egypt... Justin Bieber shrine... Egyp... wait, what?"
Well, you pay 125k for walls, a roof and some pipes and electrics. In some places that's cheap.
Yeah, honestly if I were in the market there, this place would catch my eye real quick. The poor taste can be mostly solved with some paint in a weekend or two, but the terrible look will be offputting to enough people that you will probably get a better price
The last house we bought was owned by a lady who collected and restored old books. There were over 5000 books in the house. There were bookcases on every wall, many of them in front of windows. The were stacks of books all over. It made the place really dark and feel cramped, but my wife and I could easily picture it without the books and bookcases, while apparently a lot of people couldn't. We got an amazing deal on it.
My first house was a bank repo. The previously owner was an investor who bought it at peak price in the 2006 housing and then got renters into the place. The rentors were reportedly severe alcoholics from the neighbors. Beer and wine stains on all the carpets. They had also left something on the stove that caught the microwave on fire there was smoke damage in the kitchen and laundry room.
When the housing market crashed the owner let the bank repo it and evict the tenants. It then was on the market for over a year until we offered 20% below asking price (70% less than the house sold in 2006.
I then worked my ass off for a year to get the place up to shape. All new flooring everywhere. New paint everywhere. I also redid all of the landscaping as it was mostly dead. After a year it was the loveliest home in the neighborhood.

Nah, look at the landscaping in the backyard + loose/random tiling in the bathrooms. I'd be worried about mold.

Don’t know why everybody is hating on it. It looks like a house where people could express themselves. Pretty cool. If you don’t like it you can renovate and paint t your own
Seems like you could only express yourself in the form of heiroglyphs or teenage heart throbs.

I feel the garden lacks theming
I appreciate the jaunty angle of the toilet cistern. It has seen some shit but maintains an indefatigable elan.

"property that can be tailored to individual tastes and requirements. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scope and potential on offer within this promising property."
Realtor enjoyed writing thst
That was truly awful. Owner afflicted by some ancient mummy curse?
Picture #15 will shock you! (so much so that it's censored?)
I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on with the walls (and ceiling!) in #s 2 and 3. My first thought was a kid run amuck with markers, but it's too..."well done." Wall paper? No, it's not regular enough. All I can come up with is stamps, which is confusing on its own.
Oh, and the spot at the end of the stairs in #9, under the window to another planet--that's got to be beginning of a wormhole forming, right?
I'm disappointed by the lack of Egyptian theme in the backyard. I expected the them would carry through.
Honestly? A new coat of paint on the walls and a new kitchen & bathroom and this place would be pretty solid.
Looks pretty mouldy to me. I'd inspect that one verrry carefully.
Yeah, there is definitely a moisture problem somewhere. Could be from the fact that the shower is just a fucking floor pan in the middle of a room.
The paint is no big deal.
The only thing that really bothers me about it is the layout:
Why the fuck is the toilet on the opposite side of the kitchen from the rest of the bathroom?!
They need to either:
- move the toilet to the same room as the rest of the bathroom and then knock down the vestibule/pantry wall to make the kitchen less tiny, or
- knock down the "shower room" wall to expand the kitchen, add a sink opposite the toilet (probably swapping them so the sink would be where the toilet is and the toilet would be under the stairs), and build a full bath somewhere upstairs, taking space from the weirdly-long bedroom.
Edit: now added shitty modified floorplans
Option 1:
Option 2:
Wouldn't be surprised if the toilet was a later addition and simply tacked onto the back. I believe that wasn't unheard of.

omg! i honestly liked something here.
The Twilight poster? Or the Egyptian ice cream ad?
The Edward poster juxtaposed with the Jedward poster is peak
that unapologetic use of color, i think. pink doorframes? i could have those too.
I did not expect Jedward.
No-one expects Jedward.
I think this is a great place for someone into:
- Egypt
- Drugs
- Twilight
I was prepared for Groverhaus: UK, but not for GroverTut’s Psychadelic Tomb
what sort of cultural art from today's civilizations will someone turn into a stroke induced feverdream on the walls of their house 2500 years from now? everything is born digital and most will of it will disappear whenever its format does

wooowwww
It's like living inside KidPix
Updating and Modernisation Required
Indeed.
IDK if £125,000 is cheap for the area, but I imagine it would cost a lot more than it's worth to fix it. Looks like a bit of a disaster I'd expect to see on one of those shite reality shows where they fix up a house to flip it.
