Bounce on the floors, tap walls, lift carpets, look for damp, smell for damp, call the estate agent a cunt👍

Easier just to assume the lot is fucked, and anything you find later that doesn’t need replacing is a bonus.

So sorted now having agreed a deal with the local estate agent that offered a decent fee plus looked like people I could deal with. House should be on the market by the weekend.
Going to see the dilapidated pile this afternoon

Honey badgers!
I’d charge extra for badgers. Gotta love the li’l 2tone rascals 
As long as it wasn’t built by badgers he’ll be alright. 
Good luck! Gill really likes it, inside & out.
Just got back, looks much much better than the photos, can really see myself living there. Found the public right of way out the back through the fields it backs into which was important for getting the hound out without a car journey.
Need to go back with Hel and a friendly builder, but I’m quite taken with it.

Fuck !
You have got to be fucking kidding! Steel reinforced concrete as part of the structure?
A public right-of-way across your garden?
Years of neglect?
Nope-the-fuck-out of this mindset now - that place is going to bend you over…
Which pic are you gleaning that from Paul?
Eh? Sorry if my description misled, its 30 yard down the end of the lane and runs parallel to the garden direction about 150m or more away
Last but one, the ceiling, but I’m looking on a phone, it could be lath and plaster.
Yeah, that’s the outbuilding Paul
