A HOUSE hunter claims a £500,000 London property she was browsing was not a three-storey townhouse – but the “shed” next door. The property in Hackney, London, demands “offers in excess of £525,000” – despite being a long, slim building of just 545sqft.

A HOUSE hunter claims a £500,000 London property she was browsing was not a three-storey townhouse – but the “shed” next door.

The property in Hackney, London, demands “offers in excess of £525,000” – despite being a long, slim building of just 545sqft.

The so-called shed has been converted into one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen.

But the property is attached to a large three-storey property that has left some social media users baffled over which home they would be actually buying.
