Yes, most of the stud walls are so rotten that they aren't attached to the sole-plate anymore and are just hanging from their attachments to the ceiling!
Not really surprised the connections at the cooker switch weren't tight. The poor sod who replaced that cooker probably wanted to leave that hole as quickly as possible and I can't blame him. The piece of T&E strung diagonally across the tiles supports that theory. Wonder if the old floor underneath the carpet contains asbestos. This place looks like it should be stripped down to the bare slab and block walls. Wasn't there any kind of heating in there? No wonder it had damp issues! Edit: since there's two consumer units for such a tiny place I'd guess there used to be a storage heater in the living room/bedroom. Wonder where that's gone.
You really should have been wearing a good mask during all that demolition. Mould spores would have been swirling round everywhere plus,even more serious there might have been asbestos anywhere in that building. Even the kitchen floor tiles looked like they could have been the type that contained asbestos.
Yeah, probably, but that doesn't really bother me. The Mrs had her mask on, though, mainly because of the smell!! The agent wouldn't come into the flat during the viewing because of the foul stench.
