It looks like a Saw location.

[-] nul9o9@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

Reminds me of the hotel in Silent Hill 2.

Check for secret rooms in the basement

Is it for the whole building? Where's it located?

105k might be a steal for the land alone

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

Thought it might be with the two entrances. I'm kind of surprised this unit is so bad without making the whole building condemnable

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 16 points 2 weeks ago

That's what amazes me. Unless something drastic has gone rapidly wrong (dead resident, closed windows, heating on high, etc - I have friends in housing with horror stories about people exploding), how have the other residents not kicked off about this as it must be... impacting them too.

It definitely feels like there is a story to be told there.

It was a house and depending on the location, yes it would have. The land is often the most expensive part of buying a house

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 14 points 2 weeks ago

I looked it up. It's located in Thamesmead near the Thames. The auction went for £117 000 for the shown unit, not the entire building, and the land is leased. No explanation for the mold.

If its $105k in a place with manicured lawns and close neighbors, as seen in the first photo, then there's mold and rot all the way through to the frame and the underground pipes are wrecked too. But that still leaves the slab and service hookups.

$105k still sounds OK until you start to realize the demo and remediation costs.

[-] waz@feddit.uk 20 points 2 weeks ago

Frame? This is in London, so it’s going to be blockwork and brickwork. The only frame would be the roof trusses.

If you could convince the sellers to rent it for an afternoon, and you have a high quality camera, you could get some amazing digital assets for some horror video games.

Definitely sweetens the deal!

Organically shortened to half-length!

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

She's a bit of a fixer-upper. Oh, and you should really like breathing mould spores.

[-] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 weeks ago

That looks like even the mould has mould growing on it.

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 weeks ago

You also get extra mold and bonus rodents for no additional charge!

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, next Silent Hill looks so realistic?

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 13 points 2 weeks ago

The ladder in the second picture is to let everyone know it's being worked on.

The comfortable but rotting chair in the second picture is to enjoy a rest between hard work sessions with the ladder.

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

Are the evil spirits included in the price?

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Technically they own the flat, you'd be their tenant!

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That looks like a 10 unit building. Say you can make it fifteen when you rebuild. Average US cost of a condo is about $350,000. About $5,240,000. Worth it to do a total tear down and rebuild.

edit = silly me. They want $105k for one apartment in that mess.

Caramba!

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was 105k for one flat.

We might need a link to more information.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 15 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, here is the Rightmove link - 2 bedroom flat, not the whole building.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

You have the eyes of an eagle, and the noble soul of a warrior!

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You are too generous - it's a pity everything else is fucked. 🤣

[-] something_random_tho@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

$4k/mo, plus utilities.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

Only 105K to buy Dracula's ACTUAL mansion? Bargain!

[-] uservoid1@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Silent Hill vibes

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It looks like a fire-damaged apartment in an otherwise nice building, and it could be worth a lot more than 105k in the right location.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 weeks ago

Those photos don't look like fire damage.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I think the damage was caused by feral hogs, not fire.

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think they're feral anymore if they live in an apartment.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Considering some of the flatmates I've had, I don't think the two are mutually exclusive.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 5 points 2 weeks ago

Did they raise hogs in there?

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

only 105 grand microsievert per hour? what a blast
