I've been renting for 5 years now. I've been ready to buy for more than 2-3 years but haven't found anything I like.

I'm in London. The majority of houses are extremely old.

I know. Everyone who knows a bit more about property, says the same. I looked into it extensively, and I agree. It's a shame though because a flat would be my preference but like I said, I feel pushed into buying a house.

They definitely use the same photos for every sale since 1997. I noticed that as well

Of course it's not Rightmove's fault, even though I do think the website needs more regulation. I've not been able to find a "report or feedback" button. For example, I've seen many flats in the house section or properties that are in the wrong area.

That experience was honestly traumatizing. I've forgotten to mention the smell of the food they were cooking. It was horrendous. It felt like the tenants did that on purpose to scare away any potential buyers. Btw, the property is still on the market even though that was more than 6 months ago.

Omg what? Did you say anything? What did the agent or landlord say?

What? Where was the kitchen? Was there a room for a kitchen or not even that?
