Norman Thelwell: This Desirable Plot, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The artist Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment.

This Desirable Plot is the artist's inimitable guide to navigating the property market and buying or selling a house. First published in 1970, it introduces prospective purchasers to estate agents' jargon, gives cautionary advice on country cottages and highlights the perils of any projects involving conversion or renovation. From structural surveys to rising damp, and dry rot to roof repairs, this is an entertaining look at finding the ideal home and making the right - or wrong - moves on the property ladder.
