I’m currently on the hunt for a property. It’s time to wave farewell to Windsor, it’s served me well but I’m entering a new stage in my life and it’s time to leave the past behind.
Now I’m sure that I’m not alone on this… you find your dream property, you turn up to view it, butterflies in the tummy to find that the estate agent (realtor) had may as well have described a completely different property. Shattering.
In this week’s video, I help unearth what some of their terminology can be translated to mean…
Always a pleasure, never a chore.

Compact – tiny
DIY’ers Dream – needs rebuilding
Views of the river – if you get on top of the wardrobe
Parking for 3 or 4 cars – Smart cars maybe!
Close to shops – above a chip shop
Good transport networks – bus stop outside
Close to schools – windows broken by footballs and cricket balls depending on time of year
Popular location – cheap
Sought after location – expensive

We had one four bedroom house we looked at. The estate agent had the fourth bedroom described as a “double bedroom”. The room was barely big enough for a double bed. The owners had squeezed a 4’6″ double in there, but it was pressed hard against three of the four walls and the other wall had a sloping section over the staircase. You could barely get in without climbing on the bed.
Best of luck finding somewhere new.
