I googled the address and found court case where the man there was locked up for possession of a substantial amount of drugs. We went for a walk around the area and spoke to some neighbours. They said it’s known in the area as “the drug dealers house”.

More likely the removal from the usual platforms is to stop it being shared on social media as "a murder house". Try and get a few unsuspecting suckers in the door 1st. Maybe get a bidding war going before you can say "was the shower tray at 66 mountain view park always missing or was it taken by the gards looking for evidence of the kind of violence most civilised people cant even fathom"

What's with the door and the coat of arms? on the window. Were they originally from Switzerland?! And see the tapered, sloping roof. What was the idea behind that? Surely, no architect put their paws on any of that house, unless they use etch a sketch as CAD.

For 1.1 million you would kind of want it to look nice from the outside whereas it actually looks like a council house with several extensions. Agree. Also notice the clothes hanging from the ceiling?

The house where Josef Fritzl kept his daughter captive for 24 years and fathered seven children with her has been sold to the owner of a strip club. Walter Anzboeck, the liquidator of Fritzl's estate, said the house in Amstetten, 70 miles west of the Austrian capital Vienna, was sold for 160,000 Euros (about £135,000). Local strip club owner Herbert Hauska told state broadcasters his wife Ingrid and a business partner had bought the building to turn it into apartment units. He said on Monday that it is time “to bring down the curtain” on the house's past. "It can't stay empty for ever. We need to bring life into it. In two years it will be a house like any other," said Mr Hauska, who runs Amstetten nightclub Bar Josefine, where women performers undress on stage and offer punters lap dances. Mr Hauska, who also runs a local pub, said he intends to use the property to house people who work for him. "We have lots of trainees, some from (nearby towns) Persenbeug and Ybbs, and so we need employee flats," he told Austrian newspaper Niederoesterreiche Nachrichten.

Like the way it’s perfectly acceptable to have a Jack The Ripper museum and tours in London, but similar ones based on Fred West wouldn’t go down too well. I know natural deaths are quite different to murders, but my bedroom all through my childhood was the room my grandmother died in (before I was born). My grandfather also died in the house. Never bothered me in the slightest.

People are coming from far and wide to see an untouched house from the 1800's. I have to agree, there'd be no saving it as it stands unless you want to spend a couple of hundred grand. Then it'd push you into the same territory as a fairly decent modern house in the area.
