It looks like a Saw location.

[-] nul9o9@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

Reminds me of the hotel in Silent Hill 2.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

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 17 points 11 months 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 15 points 11 months 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 24 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 32 points 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 16 points 11 months ago

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

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Damn, next Silent Hill looks so realistic?

[-] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 11 months ago

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

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 13 points 11 months 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.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago

I thought it was 105k for one flat.

We might need a link to more information.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 15 points 11 months ago

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

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

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 12 points 11 months ago

Are the evil spirits included in the price?

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] something_random_tho@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

$4k/mo, plus utilities.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] uservoid1@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Silent Hill vibes

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago

Those photos don't look like fire damage.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Damage@feddit.it 5 points 11 months ago

Did they raise hogs in there?

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

only 105 grand microsievert per hour? what a blast
