Nice little DIY project

I wonder what happened here.

that sort of state and then had a fatal heart attack. His widow had a problem selling it.

[Mark]

I had that done to a rental property a few years ago, even took the floorboards up to nick the wiring and copper pipe. this one looks more like a repossession.

They wanted the concrete floors back? From the metal piles, I'd guess subsidence.

We looked at a property a few years ago that was in a similar state. Travellers had moved in nearby, it was empty, so they gutted it.

Messy divorce?

What was the architect thinking of on picture 5 of this one!

But why would travellers take the stairs? Most caravans are single storey.

[Huge]

Perhaps they wanted it for firewood?

[The Natural Philosopher]

social housing, then strip out all the metal, sell it, and vanish..

[ARWadsworth]

I wonder what they did with the missing concrete floor!

[ARWadsworth]

my best guess.

[ARWadsworth]

Or maybe the 2007 flood unless the builder is very slow.

[charles]

grew cannabis in the soil?

hey were lookinmg for a pot of gold, to be sure and all, and all.

[Nightjar]

More probable, given that the place was sold in 2003 for near a quarter of a million.

Seems an odd selection, take floors, walls, stairs, fireplace, while leaving copper piping. I wonder what upstairs looks like?
