This Charming Property
This Charming Property
People
who tell the truth about the properties they are selling should be given prizes
for honesty. A house which described as 'spacious' will be found to be too
large. Words like 'enchanting', 'delightful', 'convenient', 'attractive' are
commonly used to all mean 'small'. The words 'small' and 'picturesque' are not
so frequently used both mean 'too small'. A 'picturesque house' is one with a small
bedroom to put a bed in and a small kitchen to boil an egg in. My prize for
honesty goes to someone who recently described a house that he was selling in the
following way: 'This house is situated in a very rough area of London and
really need of repair. The house has a terrible lounge and a tiny dining room
also has three miserable bedrooms and a bathroom which is fitted with a leaky shower.
The central heating is expensive to run and unreliable. There is a
handkerchief-sized garden with overgrown weeds. The neighbors are generally
unfriendly and they’re not likely to welcome you. This property definitely not
recommended and ridiculously overpriced at £85,000.'
