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.

MODERATORS
A 1200sqft 3/1 is considered large? I guess I don’t know UK standards.
Also, what do they mean by “no forward chain”? Is that like a monthly HOA fee?
It means the sellers are not buying a house using the proceeds from this sale. Usually means the sale will be quicker.
Sounds like “no contingencies” in the US
Not quite the same thing I think.
My understanding of "no contingency" is more to do with inspections, certifications etc. I.e. an offer has been made that isn't going to be cancelled if the structural survey comes back with a load of issues to fix.
"Chains" in UK real estate lingo are about whether your sale is tied to other sales. For example, if you're buying a house from an owner-occupier who won't move out (and give you your new house) until the new house that they're buying is ready- that's an onward chain. A chain in the other direction would be someone who says that they'll buy a house, but will only have the money to make the purchase once they've got a sale locked in for their current house. Selling a house with "no onward chain" is telling the buyer that they can have it as soon as they've got the money, and that the seller isn't waiting for anything.
Chains can get very messy and complicated, as you can end up with s dozen house sales all tied up with each other waiting for one house in the chain to be ready to go before any of the others can go.
You’re talking about buyer contingencies.
This is basically “No seller contingencies “ in US lingo.
All relative, in a city (albeit not that desirable) the housing stock will be smaller so I suspect the agent means relative to other houses.
