Always insist on giving APPROX. room sizes?

Can't they read a tape measure or something?

And, why, when you actually measure a room (which isn't beyond even the abilities of an Estate Agent) is the measurement always LESS than that stated on the particulars?

Cheating and lying are words that spring to mind ..........

No but misdescriptions act does

SunnySideUp

Hmmmm, yeah I know - but isn't it REALLY strange how the room sizes are ALWAYS smaller than the details suggest??

Nah, cheating and lying were spot-on

David Lock

Are you being moved to a smaller room then?

SunnySideUp

Well Matron has suggested, as Iceland still have my Old Peoples home fees, I be moved to the broom cupboard

"approx" and "max" are there two favorite words. Both just vague enough to get away with not being 100% honest.

SunnySideUp

I Like, 14' 6" into cupboard x 8' 6" into Bay Window ......

I also love the particulars where they show the garden ONLY!! ....... and finish with words, "Internal Viewing Essential" - which tells the initiated that it looks like ****e!!

Also, I've noticed the words .... "Lie, Fib and Con Estate Agents have great pleasure in bringing to the market ....... " WTF?! STOP the crap guys you are fooling no-one!!

Another, "Viewing Highly Recommend" what the HELL is that supposed to mean????????????????? Please show me some details where you they "Viewing is not Recommended" !!!!! and then it means something!!

I need to stop drinking, I'm getting worked up into a lather here!!

Pete, your property threads are ineffably tedious.

Just thought you ought to know.

Bubba, your comments on my property threads are ineffably tedious.

Just thought you ought to know.

Pete, your comments that my comments about your property threads being ineffably tedious are ineffably tedious, are ineffably tedious.

Just thought you ought to know.

scarey

bubba, sunny just get a room!

Bubba po

That would be ineffably tedious.

Besides, we'd end up comparing post-count sizes and I'm afraid it would all get very shabby and wretched.

B-B

I cannot believe you even considered being there - let alone what you would do together!!

I am amazingly good looking see, I thought the ladies on the board had dished out my pic

Apparently you have - Is your increduality based on experience?


p.s. - Is that an existing word or did I just make it up.


Anyway - Pete - They give approximate sizes to that some uptight anally retentive reader cannot sue them for the walls being off square. Wonder who would moan about that now???????????

B-B

I think its incredulity.

As for the other - I can quite honestly say we have never 'got a room'....

Yes, with a f*cking big stick!

isn it illegal for an approximate value to be less than stated? i know that on food if it say approx contents 8 then it cant contain less than 8

They do it simply to protect themselves from people who may order carpets off the back of the agents measurements, which leads to court cases and expensive payouts.

The property misdescriptions act is largely irrelevant with a disclaimer, it is nothing to do with that.
