Imagine paying £800 a month to live in someone's garage
Terrible Estate Agent Photos
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.
Plus £295 for utilities. How the fuck does that shack cost £295 a month to operate? Fuck that.
Probably has zero insulation and needs the heat on constantly. I also doubt that it has separate water metering so they're likely paying the landlord's bills too.
The place itself is not bad, but for that price!? Fuck off
£1,095 a month to live in a shed!!
Beats the street...
I paid more that that for a bit smaller apartment in Tokyo that had no bills included. That's not even in the pricier parts of Tokyo. Only difference was a sliding door between the beedroom and the rest and bath position. I did have a small veranda for drying clothes (and, in my case, growing some pepper plants).
To be clear, this one isn't in London or one of the other big cities; it's in the suburbs of Bristol, a smaller city.
I was under the impression that property prices in Tokyo were pretty insane. This is more like the equivalent of a garden shed in Fukuyama.
Honestly not that bad, coming from someone living in San Diego. I've seen worse that is more expensive.
I would have dealt with it when fresh out of flight school, though at upwards of $1000 a month plus utilities I'd have laughed in your face so hard you'd need to clean your glasses.
Same in Vancouver. I'd actually consider that if it was close to my school. Better then living in someones mouldy DIY renovated basement "suite" that you share with four other people. *...and usually pay ~$800 a month for...
800 CAD is like 400GBP, to be fair. So this garage thing would be like 2000 CAD.
I mean, with a little love that could be quite a nice little courtyard, but damn, not for ~US$1k/mo.
I thought the bed was a bit close to the stove, but I guess there's not much arrangement you can do with less than 400sqft
Stove? Nah, just buy yourself a decent Weber kettle grill and do your cooking outside. It's not like it rains much in England, right? ;)
