Today I went to South London as I had seen a flat up for sale with views of the common. It sounded like it would be an ideal buy to let in London with a yield of 9%. It was a 1 bed in tidy condition – but the same could not be said of the communal areas.
Firstly – graffiti INSIDE the building is never a good sign…
Plus the amount of knocks and scrapes on the wall makes you wonder what goes on in here:
The building did not feel safe at all – which is probably why they have these huge barbed wire type fencing:
And is it any wonder in a high rise like this?
But the icing on the cake….and I just loved this….This is just so original and authentic 1970s…
Prepare to feast your eyes:
Carpeted walls!!!! Now that has got to be a bargain for such retro originality 🙂

Wow, carpeted walls, they do still exist. What was the asking price, may buy it just for the wallpaper
