Quite often I have come across properties which have become run down through lack of maintenance. This can be caused by the owner not having sufficient funds to carry out the essential repairs or ill heath preventing work o be carried out.  This type of property generally does not cause me a problem as repairs can be funded to bring the property up to scratch so that it can be sold for the best market price available at the time. don't let this situation stop you from selling. I would be interested in making an offer no matter what the condition.
