Yes I'm sure it clean and you could live in it as it is.
But someone dropping that sort of cash almost certainly isn't going to keep it as it is. A 1980s bathroom, a kitchen that's been shoe horned into a very small lean to. Wiring from decades ago. It simply isn't realistic that they aren't going to rejig, extend, and drop a load of cash on it.
Sure if you want to live in it as it is fair enough. But the people buying it will want to turn it into a similar house to the 1.1m house 5 mins away.
The question is , could you do it for 200k or less and would you want to live on a building site for 2 years, probably with small kids and a missus going fucking mental at the mess and hassle?
