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.

"Make sure the kitchen has a washing machine. That's very important."
"A washing machine? Are you sure?"
"Absolutely, huge selling point. Nobody likes hand washing."
They remembered the word "dishwasher" a few days later, but it was already too late.
I think that might be a UK thing. I saw it and immediately assumed it was England, because I've never seen a washing machine in the kitchen, except in British television.
It made sense when they added in indoor plumbing to old buildings that were built pre-1900's. The old 2-up, 2-down homes are a good example. They were often retrofitted to add a bathroom at the top of the stairs above the kitchen.
The only place to add in a washing machine was in the kitchen. Since people hung their washing outside to dry in the back garden it was a logical place as well.
That's where we put them.
The taskmaster house has a washing machine in the kitchen.
Just ask…..
Little Alex Horn!
do they put it elsewhere? or most places just dont have space for it?
Where else would you put it?
British houses typically don't have a utility room. We don't really have the space.
Typical house you see on USA TV is massive by UK standards. A house like that here wouldn't be affordable to most folk.
Don't worry. Houses like that aren't affordable to most folk in the US anymore either. At least for anyone that doesn't already have one.
I've seen it around Europe, my only guess is that there's already plumbing there, and European houses are much smaller than American ones so space is at a premium.
