a magnificent parking bay?
Terrible Estate Agent Photos
Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.

- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
Now I think its absurd too...
BUT this is a permanent reserved parking spot damn near in the center of London (One of the most densely populated and oldest major cities in the world which has (arguably) one of the best public transport systems in the world. Also its in the middle of the congestion charge area. So it costs 15 pounds just to leave the carpark too. This is like owning a private reserved parking space just off 5th Ave in Manhattan.
Its nuts, but this isnt what it costs for regular people to park their car in central London, most regular people dont get to live in central London, let alone own and drive a car there.
The ROI on this space vs paying for a garage is about 8 years. That's really not bad and I assume the price will go up over time, so it could even be a bit of an investment. When the spot is sold, you'll probably get at least what you paid, which means you parked there for free for years.
This is a really good deal for a high professional that works in the area and needs a daily parking spot.
No one commuting in to Central London needs a parking spot.
Not even rich people that don't like public transit? Think of the guy that can afford a Maybach or Bentley but not a driver. They need a solution too!
maybe if you drive to Theydon Bois and then get the tube or smth
Given all that, £30K seems cheap. We look at prices like this from our own perspective. From the perspective of someone worth $10 million? It's chicken change to have your own, personal spot in London.
Better be made entirely of solid gold, they gotta live up to the hype
Might be a nice piece of property to redevelop into mixed use affordable housing
I'm a volunteer watercolor operator, my partner is a licensed glitter fighter, and our budget is $6.2 million.
Magnificent, adj. & n.
Sumptuously constructed or decorated. Also, in wider sense: imposingly beautiful, splendid.
OED
They do this shit in Australia too. Even worse is when they mark it as a commercial property so it shows up in searches. Even worse than that is when they mark it as a residential property so it shows up in searches.
I’d be very suspicious if someone who called a parking space “magnificent” also called my dick “huge”.
