This week I went to a house viewing for a, at first, relatively affordable house. The house was from 1938. It turned out that almost nothing was done to the house since then, except for a gas heating system and a shower in the cellar (WTF). The windows with wooden frames were with almost 100 % certainty original. The cellar was so moist and damp it smelled like a swamp and the cellar walls looked like after a flooding. Also the doors were so low I could easily injure myself with an extremely minor hop. Also there was a wooden beam so low at the stairs that it demands wearing a hard hat. The main bath room was so small the sink was directly in front of the door and one has to squeeze by to get to the toilet. I've seen quite some houses but this was definitely one of the worst.
A friend of mine said to me that it was a mistake not getting the house.
