"Newly refurbished"

jamesbondings

Currently looking for a place to move home to, have conceded i will have to move out of the pale.

I have been noticing on my search that alot of the properties are pretty useless and their description is like the estate agents are trying to rent out other buildings entirely.

This particular one took the biscuit today I dont know how estate agents honestly think ANYONE would think this is newly refurbished at all at all!!!!!

Complete with the lovely and brand spanking new pink bathroom suite.......

Can daft.ie not have someone who glances over these before they are put up and reject or accept them by not conforming to description or something along those lines...

As an aside i feel it should be mandatory to have more than one photo feck sake.

Ring up and ask if they can put up any of the "after" refurbishment picture.

good spot man, but honestly new carpet (the same carpet throughout the entire house) does not a refurb make!

That is nothing if you see some of the dumps they put for sale with "great potential" or "excellent opportunity to put your personal touch". (for 50K +)
Took a drive to check the front of a property I am supposed to view friday. The house needs to be demolished. I viewed another one at 220K and you see cracks everywhere and traces of water leaks coming from the roof along the walls... Its pitiful.

Looks like there's a new carpet , some of the rooms look like they have been skimmed and painted

You see this all the time, in Dublin to, with furniture and kitchen fittings from the 70's.

Thought the same here too, it doesn't look too bad at all imo

Noticing this a lot in my hunt for a rental too. Recently refurbished with a can of magnolia paint and furniture from someone's nana's house.

Cheap office type carpet and I would hazard a guess the owners have died and family are renting it out or in a home.

Once you get old musty smell out ya should be fine.

Wow the pink toilet and that is a good one reminds me of the green ones use to see a lot. Oh how that makes me cringe.

You'd think if there was any refurbishment work going on that they would have fixed the leak and ceiling in the sitting room.

It brings to mind a newspaper ad I saw in pre-internet days - about 1980, I think. The property for sale was a Norman tower house. The ad described it as "built c.1200, modernised c.1940".
