As promised I will be posting before and after photos of the apartment.
I have uploaded some of the photos.
Unfortunately you cannot see in detail how bad it actually is for example how grotty the tiles (wall and floor) in the shower are.
Absolutely everything in the apartment will have to be done,
from the bare floors (remnants of paste of carpet)
to the ceilings (filled with cracks)
to the doors (need to be painted)
to the kitchen (wall out and completely new kitchen)
to the shower/toilet (will be replaced and broken through).
All walls have to be plastered/painted.
All doors have to be painted.
There is no heating AT ALL in the apartment so they will be having central heating/warm water installed.
As I said at the start to them, this is a PROJECT!!! and they scoffed at my negativity but when we were there with the contractor, they stopped laughing. Believe me I am not negative, it is a great apartment, but it is a project.
As soon as dh sends me the rest of the photos from his phone I will post them.
