    Thank you for your soft voice and intellect. Your choices are brilliant, especially the walk ins thru the old landscapes of other eras. I believe your channel is the best for exploring. It is about the subject, forgotten places.

    Seriously guys, this is obviously someone's house. I lived abroad for 5 years and left my house empty. If you'd done this in my property, no joke, we'd have posted you home in jiffy bags as we don't deal with the police and sort burglars out in our own way. Okay, if there's an open door or a window but this is breaking and entering someone's property. You do realise that if someone want to send this to the police it's evidence of a burglary.
    I can't believe all the comments from idiots who think an empty house is 'abandoned' and therefore fair game! Would they be cool with me just letting myself into their house when they're on holiday claiming abandonment?

      I totaly agree. I would never ever think of entering a house or cottage if it was locked. Actually,i would not think of entering some strangers house at all🙈🙄.. When they went into the house through the window it looked as if someone broke in already. What was that white crumbly stuff on the floor?

    • @PurityVendetta
      @PurityVendetta 2 года назад +2

      @@susefink6099 It's plaster that's fallen from the ceiling. The roof may have leaked or it can happen if it's very old lath and plaster like this house. Not a huge amount to repair.
      I'm glad it's not just me, I'm okay with exploring a derelict factory as urbex used to be but I'm very not Coll with these idiots who see a bit online and go climbing through people's house windows. If I just climbed through someone's window I'd expect a less than warm welcome.

      The pole at 0:50 is 3 phase at 11,000 volts and standard supply to farms. Unlike the US, the supply in towns and cities is100% below ground. Only some small villages have overhead supplies like this video of a fault/fire ruclips.net/video/GKSocxyIf1U/видео.html

      Because I know there is a bit of damp in the place and some dirt but my nana house was like that due to damaged tiles on her roof and she tried to-get them fixed several times and paid a lot of money for it to keep getting moldy plus she didn’t put heating on in rooms she wasn’t in and with this one being an old cottage doesn’t take that long for mold to come as one of my neighbors went away for Christmas a few years ago and forgot to set the heating system so it didn’t come on and the pipes burst and ruined the bungalow and had to be repaired so could be what I said doesn’t always mean they are abandoned and mold can grow in a few days in damp

    • @nicolemurphy2629
      @nicolemurphy2629 4 года назад

      Land Registry might give a name but without knowledge it’s of little use as people who own multiple properties often buy property using a fake name!
      When they get old and die they can’t leave it to anyone so although a name appears on land registry it is not owned by anyone real.
      I have no idea if this applies to this property however.
      It’s lovely though!

    This house is in relatively good condition, the previous owner clearly carried out some work to update the house. It is a shame that little is known about the context around the property. It is as if the homeowner simply left the building. These houses are wonderful, built from nature's raw materials and standing the test of time. Although, this one seemed to have some access issues, which is bound to make any work difficult and costly.
    Great share, beautiful area and I am glad you managed to get Craig out - bring the WD40 next time just in case.

    I'm watching from Malta & over here we have lots of old house's where the family's that have been left them are either waiting for everyone to agree on the right price to sell it at...or just waiting for the market to pick up...we don't have people breaking in & filming private stuff & putting it on u tube!! They would be arrested & rightly So!! What gives u the right to break in???? & by the F ing way those windows are spotless!! Is this all u can find to do in u'r spare time????

    Looks very much like “breaking and entering” needs reporting to the police.
