Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

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.
-

Housing crisis? You mean retirement fund? (j/k) 😂🔫
Retirement fund? You mean my vespa scooter and a tide table for Beachy Head.
Cooperation owns all the houses and are leasing them for the low low price of you working 24/7. Yay!
Don't forget "sleep" - you get to sleep next to your oven. That way, you can smell if you left it on, or leave it open and use it as a heater! Think of all the advantages.
They saved a bundle on wet-wall, though. Genius.
Ahh, the ol' "we don't have proper heating while living in the north" treatment. Bonus points if all you have is a single radiator and you dry your wet hats and gloves right on top of it.
Such nostalgia.
The shower viewing sofa/dining room is a nice touch
This reminds me of a place I rented in rural FL for a year. 350 square feet. However, I had the Sense to install a curtain so you couldn't see the person inside of the shower.
Why? That's the entertainment!
All the space you need to exist!
its like prison but you get to cook your own meals.

FTFY
This is actually a pretty nice little space compared to some of what I've seen in New York City. At least there's a door to the toilet.
The wonky shelving is what really sells it for me. Also, you can wash your vegetables while you wash yourself, so, that's a winner all around.
When I lived in Japan, I made friends with a bunch of fellow immigrants who were from China. They all thought it was completely normal to save water by rinsing their vegetables in the toilet.
I love Chinese food, and they can be some great people, but never again will I eat inside the home of a person who learned to home cook in China.
In the cistern, right… RIGHT?!
Man, looking through that user's other properties, it's just depressing.
Nice looking family rooms and homes, reduced to bedsits and studios.
The rent on that is more than my mortgage on a 4 bedroom Victorian terrace with 2 bathrooms and a garden.
I’m betting you don’t live in Turnham Green, or anywhere close 🙂
Thankfully no. Moving out of London was the best decision I ever made.
"Very nice" studio? I'll be the judge of that, twerp.
Shave, shower, and shit all in the comfort of your own kitchen.
What's everyone else doing? Is that not what the sink is for?
Isn’t that where Harry Potter lived at the start of the first movie?
Thats called a frankfurt shower in germany
Why?
I kept going back in confusion. There's the microwave and sink - no stove or flat-top or anything. There's the shower. What's behind the door nº 2? The depth of that space is maybe 70 cm, the standard depth of the kitchen furniture is 60 cm and the shower is a bit deeper, it seems. The width seems about the same. If that's a toilet, you wouldn't be able to close the door after yourself. There's no wardrobe in that room, only that small dresser. If there's a cupboard, what's the pooping situation? Waffle stomp day and night? Is that a toilet with a rod for coat hangers above?
Washing machine available? What does that mean? The choice between mini fridge or washing machine? Preserve food or wear clean clothes, make your choice!
I’m assuming the cupboard next to the shower contains the khazi, with the throne facing the shower. You’d be able to sit, at a suitable straining angle but unless you’re short standing for a piss is going to be a problem. I guess the washing machine is in a communal area somewhere in the building.
Possible that the toilet is shared, as it is in most of this landlord's other properties.
What??? Not even a private toilet???
A toilet kitchen with a shower? Fuckin' luxury.
Architect: me playing Sims
Ooh, I remember this one.

no bath. no sale.
Well it’s on Bath road
There is a rustless efficiency whore bath right next to the showerette.
When I was house hunting a couple of years back, our real estate agent brought us to a house (a smallish but very reasonably sized house in the US) which had no bathtub. I walked into that bathroom, looked at her, and said I'm not buying a house without a bathtub. You know how much it can cost to totally remodel a bathroom? And the hassle? Fuck that.
I just bought a house. 25% of the houses we viewed had no bathtub.
Shared toilet, no sale
With security deposit, the first month is only £1998!
It just needs an icon corner now
