more of the house of horrors later
ps if their is an award for the most dangerous wiring and installation then its possible this house will be so awarded the title

Did they have a survey before purchasing?

several people had pulled out of the sale, however it may just still be a bargain as no body wanted to touch it with a barge pole
these are just the bits I saw on my first visit, it gets worse
will post some more pics of my first visit late, lets just say it ended up with me severing the gas and electricity supplies top the property and a 5 page report !
