      Mine must be too because I didn’t think it was that bad either. It beats a flat share and you could make it look a lot nicer with not too much money.

      It does look a bit shabby. But if it’s up to code, insulated properly and has a bathroom I’d take it. I’ve seen worse “traditional” 1 room apartments for more money than that.

        They’ve painted over breezeblocks, I would give my left kidney if this had building control approval, never mind insulation.

      All of the Americans of Lemmy are in the comments saying they live in something way worse for way more money 🤷

      as long as there’s a separate bathroom and not just a big bucket in the driveway…

      It’s better than the street? Yes It’s 550€/month good? Nope. For 250 I could see it maybe… Of course it depens on location.

    I’ve lived in a garage and it wasnt as beautifully appointed as this one. This is perfectly fine by comparison and not bad value

      MDF walls separating the (presumed) bedroom from the kitchen, which is in the way of egress, doesn’t seem to have a fire alarm or fireproofing, next to a breezeblock wall painted without being primed or treated…

      Are you saying it’s well appointed because there is a nice £80 breakfast bar and chairs from B&M? Or is it the IKEA light fitting and matching displays drilled into the MDF catching your eye? Maybe the cheap laminate floor? Or is it the leaky ceiling?

        Well appointed by comparison with the garage I lived in many years back! Certainly not by comparison with what I live in now, or what should be minimum standards
