I moved into my current flat back at end f 2019. The flat had been empty for sometime, since previous owner had died, and had needed to wait for probate. Those owners had moved in around the turn of the millenium, and had obviously spent a lot of money doing things.
When I came, with one of my daughters to have the final viewing just prior to actually moving, I discovered (what I had not noticed in previous viewings), that where it was described as 'carpeted throughout' - it meant just that - what had been obviously very good quality expensive carpet twenty years earlier - throughout including the bathroom and en-suite.
Daughter lifted part of carpet in both those rooms and told me there was some sort of vinyl tiles underneath and she said she would get rid of carpets in both those rooms on moving day (she was going to be the one collecting keys, etc. as I was moving from 150 miles away).
This she did, but that vinyl had obviously been put down when both these rooms had different layouts, so it did not completely cover the flooring. Never mind, bathroom was my first change out as this had a corner bath, which looked wonderful, but I discovered (when I tried to use it), was not long enough to be able to lie down in it.
Covid delayed this work being carried out, but did finally get new proper sized bath in there. Then just two years ago had ensuite re-done. Cost of that alone, was nearly double what hubbie and i had paid for our first end of terrace, Victorian house we had purchased in East London back in 1964!!!! Both rooms with white suites, particularly love the 'comfort' height loo I had put into ensute.
