I am wondering what the nozzles and gauge is for in the workshop, and are those a small drawers or a bank of fuses or clock connectors to the left?

The kitchen has an interesting boiler control panel too

It would be a ******* getting anything up the stairs though.

Hmm. Danube St., I see. I wonder if Dora Noyce was a previous
occupant? Maybe those fittings had something to do with her line of
business? :-)

The infamous brothel was at 17. Oddly enough, it's on the market at
the moment too.

I just watched some USA TV program with something similar on a vintage

The floor plan and the views taken of the park from inside the
building do not correspond to the photo of the outside !!.
The floor plan show windows facing North (over the park) and
to the east, only.

Photo 1 is a classic estate agent LIE. It is the building on
the other corner of the road, which obviously has the benefit
of more direct sun, though photshop allows you to fake and
embelish any photo. Street view of the actual building shows
it to be lot scungier.

Which of these two buildings did Adam work on ?.

4 windows N side, 4 windows E side.
Sashes without glazing bars, no bays.
Sitting room, dressing room 2, bedroom 2 overlook the park.

SR, DR 1, bedroom 1 overlook Danube St.

Not many; it's Category A Listed.

The division between the bedroom and the dressing room appears to be furniture and could be moved.

Yes my mistake. What confused me is the estate agents photo is taken
with clear skies and the North and East faces seem to be enjoying
direct sunlight, but how could this be ?. Compare with the Google
street scene which shows it as it really is when it is overcast.

I've checked the Streeview and the photo and it's right. The blue door is 38 Danube Street and the white door to the right is St Bernard's Crescent.

Well a novel idea, certainly.
However you do find some funny things in buildings. A friend went to view
a house once and noticed in the sitting room which had a concrete floor, not
boards, some lumps.
Apparently a previous occupant had installed a lathe in the sitting room,
but it was not of course the living room then, and just cut the mounting
bolts off and over the years it was never actually made properly level.
Very odd.

Our house used to have a 'tunnel' to the back garden - the owner was an
early adopter of motor vehicles at the turn of the last century. The sirt
of things you see in old pubs - archway through to a yard.

A previous owner blocked up the archway and made the 'road' part of the
living room. So the floor is half concrete and half boarded. The arch is
still visible as part of a window on the inside. The hinge pins for the
gates are deeply embedded and still there.

The back of the 'road' is now a conservatory, nicely tiled with offcuts
from Victoria Station.

What if no-one makes an offer though ?. Does the price just
come down and down until someone makes an offer. That's just
a dutch auction, surely ?.

Also if someone offers £620,001 and is a cash buyer, but
someone else offers £625,000 but needs to faff about getting
a mortgage, can the seller decide which offer to take ?.

I thought the english system was effectively the same. You ask
a figure that only a clot would offer, and in the event of a
clot not materialising, you accept what ever offer you get,
or take it off the market having wasted a lot of everyones time.

Yes, the seller is not bound to accept the highest, or any, offer.

When I worked in an estate agent's office, we had the situation that we really, really, wanted the lower offer to win (as we were handling the buyer's mortgage, which would bring us thousands more in commission than we got through the property sale).

Remember though that in the Scottish system the offer is binding on the buyer immediately it is accepted without qualification by the seller, so the buyer had better have his mortgage already sorted out. When I bought, it was just over three weeks to do the conveyance from offer to moving in.

No it is offers over but you can state a fixed price... there is a
closing date made for offers then the best one is chosen not necessarily
the highest one depending on the conditions in the offers.....no
gazumping it is a written legal offer and acceptance....nobody was
making an offer on this house and I went in with a low offer direct to
the seller who I knew and told the guy to cancel his estate agency and I
made a legal offer to his lawyers......Scottish law is much better than
english......

Then why isn't it 'offers over £675,000', bizarre.
Effectively it is a game of poker, because any buyer
has to try and second guess how many other buyers there
are, and what their offer was.

At least with the English system you have the 'benefit' of
the lying estate agent hinting that someone has made a
higher offer, or that an offer for the full asking price has
been made.

indeed....in 1990 I stuck in a high offer for a house not realising no
bugger was interested in it.....and I could have got it for less than
the offers over price...you live and learn....

I don't think there's been much done to that flat decor wise, and
probably electrics and plumbing, since the 70s. There's a fireplace
that dates from the 40s or 50s.

"Offers over" means "We really don't want less than this, but if we
don't get any offers, we'll (have to) reduce the price." As others
have said here, I'd normally expect it to go for much more than
£620,000, but with Covid19 around, who knows?

They do come in bits - not completely assembled. I removed one from our
