2022 to Summer 2024

We came to house buying with an open mind about estate agents, as the local estate agent we used in Hull was excellent.

After browsing properties on RightMove we quickly realised Julian Wadden were particularly blatant liars. They list end terrace houses as semi-detached (including this one) and elsewhere a tram stop described as 10 minutes walk was actually 25 minutes away. This is beyond mere exaggeration.

The listing for our new house is here & below. (The photos look greyed out now, but you can still click them to view clearly.)

In this description, “Additional selling feature include: Upvc double glazed windows” turns out to mean mostly single glazed – only 2 windows have been double glazed. All the upstairs windows and the patio doors are still the originals.

But our favourite line has got to be, “Southwest facing, the rear gardens catch the glorious afternoon sunshine all day long.”
