Mine too was utterly spotless - the neighbours told me later that she was a CleanFreak! Lucky me! But I redecorated throughout, much to my neighbour's disgust - 'she only just did that, you know'. That's as maybe, but my taste doesnt run to potato print borders and multi-stripe wallpapers. OC |

Ours was brand new .had had a builders clean but needed more cos there was still dusty debris between the floorboards upstairs that needed to be got rid of before carpets could be laid. had to damp it down cos one you started sweeping the dust was choking. dowstairs is built on a concrete base and had been Marley Floor tiled. these need several washes before i could add a sealer. Felt I had spent all my time cleaning because i did a thoro spring clean of the maisonette we moved out of. Shirley |

Hi Bendy - was just thinking last night hadn't seen you for a while :O)) Mine had been rented out - and totally not cared for - gardens neither - and they left all sorts of rubbish - heck of a lot of work involved but fortunately I had just commenced 6 months garden leaving pending redundancy :O))) |

When we moved i double extra extra cleaned my old house - which left me exhausted (isnt moving house stressful!) when i got to this one it was 'minging' to use my kids word of the week!- it very nearly tipped me over the edge - i was heartbroken as to how anyone could be so thoughtless. I'm staying put now! Jenx |

hello my darling, nice to see you posting. you usually get a clue when visiting the house for viewing, if it's really nice, and the people are nice ( they offer you a cup of tea ) then there's a good chance they will leave the house in a nice state. bryan. |

well i thought i had brought a great old house, which needed some work done on it, you know the usual type of work where you make it YOUR home. instead, once i moved in, i discovered that i had actually brought a TOILET!!! yes the house was filthy in every aspect of the word. and the tenants before me for got to tell me about the lodgers!! MICE!!!! and that was just the start. |

It was very very clean. I knew the woman who sold to us, we bought it off her before it went on the market. It wasn't to our taste though. So completely changed it. catherine xx |

When you first moved in. Did the previous owners/ tenants leave it decent or was it a filthy hovel that rerquired tons of work to make it habitable?? |
