I think you're being unduly neggy on a lot of properties you've linked to but this looks likes a lovely and characterful property in one of the nicest parts of Bristol (imo). All houses require ongoing maintenance and redecoration at times and I'm sure you'll want to put your stamp on any place you eventually buy.
There's nothing inherently wrong with old electrics if the consumer unit/RCD is up to date and fascia plates can be easily changed. If the walls were knocked down a while ago and you can't see any cracks in the plaster then it was done fine imo. Modern plaster is very unforgiving of movement.
(I would totally skim over the artex wallpaper tho)
You/I seem to be confused as to what you want and where you want to buy! Is this an investment/flip in a few years or a place you want to put roots down?

@popdown Agree on this one. My only reservation is around is it too expensive for what it is.
Didn't see any cracks in the plaster but did look like quite a thin wall parallel to the stairs. Will get an electrical survey done on it I think if my offer gets accepted.
Me too - and it has changed (again) over the weekend. Costs 380 to secure 2 bed in Easton which is more than I feel that area is worth, so expanded the budget and moved search this side of the m32. Want somewhere to live for 5 years or so, but I don't want to do a bad buy (pay over the odds or get something shit). I'm 23 so big part of it is reducing my monthly cost so I can save/invest by 1) not renting 2) having a mate live in the second room

@swedeee seller's kids are having to self-isolate so viewing been pushed back a couple of weeks.
Torthworth Rd one had 9+ offers so will be way over asking and wasn't that arsed about it.
Offered pretty much asking on the Upper Cheltenham one which makes me feel a bit sick thinking about it Agent said another FTB (couple though) offered 420 and it was rejected. Its just gone back on the market after 2x buyers fell through (apparently nothing to do with the house). Baffled, given the 430 asking was pre stamp duty deadline, that the vendor has declined 420 from FTBs. She's been there 30 years so is definitely in the green.
Some stuff has been done nicely (kitchen, bathroom) but the lounge/dining room floor looks cheap, walls knocked down a while ago so how to regs will they be, electrics look dated and the interior needs decorating.
Will post some pics
