juvenal Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 That third 'bedroom' is a four foot wide strip of landing carpet. Cheeky bast***s... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FloraPoste Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I thought there were rules about what counted as a bedroom? if they can get away with this maybe I should just redefine my study, cupboard and landing and claim my house has 7 bedrooms. Or maybe not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RentingForever Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I like the way they've put the two sofas there so on first look it seems like you're getting a separate dining room and living room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 the place i've rented was advertised at a 4 bed, when shown round i asked "where is the 4th bedroom" as it wasnt obvious, they said it was the dining room/study/4th bedroom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrpleasant Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I viewed an upstairs flat once and asked, in all seriousness, where the lounge was. It was basically the landing I was standing on. The EA and I both knew at that point that all the sales pitch in the world wasn't going to salvage the situation. We locked up and went our separate ways... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Executive Sadman Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think there are exceptions when a landing is large...but when the landing in question is 1m wide...wtf? Also, wheres the airing cupboard? No storage...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hpc-craig Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The 'Lounge' portion is about 3m x 3.3m! That's tiny. I realise it will feel bigger because it is 'open plan' but prison cells are bigger. You also have no storage space at all and the second bedroom looks only big enough for a single bed. So, they want you to part with nearly a quarter of a million pounds and in return they will give you a one and a half bedroomed house, with a slightly oversized landing, nowhere to put your ironing board or tumble drier and a living space that is so small it might actually drive you insane. Sounds like a bargain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starla Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Pah, in London this would be classed as a double bedroom. Pah, in my part of London that would be classed as a flat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Utterly depressing isn't it ? Welcome to Britain. And you know the sad thing, some hapless couple will buy that and think they've bought a wonderful house.
