Tiktokker slams stunning £500k cottage as the ‘ultimate house catfish’… so can you spot why it’s so cheap?

AN eagled-eyed Tiktokker has slammed a stunning £500k cottage as the “ultimate catfish” after spotting a crucial detail in the property’s advert. Real estate enthusiast, Lisa Tran, noticed that the three-bedroom home in Abbotsford, Melbourne, was on the market for a cheaper price- and at first she couldn’t understand why.

She notes that the cottage has an open plan living space, renovated bedrooms, a luxury up bathroom and double sink kitchen.  Other desirable features include “a European laundry, split system heating/cooling, high ceilings with ornate cornices, timber floors, gas hot water and garden storage.” Most read in News GREAT FRIGHT Inside abandoned zoo with remains of great white SHARK floating in tank YOU’RE KIDDING?

This is because Estate agent Nelson Alexander, who sold the property, allegedly failed to mention the significant eyesore when advertising the home to potential buyers online. Instead the company labelled the abode “low maintenance” and “immaculately presented,” despite the significant flaw. According to realestate.com.au, the property eventually sold on September 27 for $1,080,000 (£587,000).

The run-down Auckland property shocked buyers when it went for a fortune after going under the hammer in June. The local council valued the house at $1.65m (£830,000) stating it required around £100,000 worth of improvements. However, bidding for the bogless bungalow started at $1.75m (£888,000) and soon rocketed – much to the astonishment of locals Stuff reported. We pay for your stories!
