People baffled after spotting what's 'wrong' with new build house

A viral photo of someone's home is causing chaos on socials

People have realised what's 'wrong' with this new house and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Home design, like most things, is totally subjective.

Some people like white walls and a picket fence, while others will prefer a high-level apartment.

However, the outside of a random person's home is doing the rounds on social media, and no one can get on board with one specific thing.

See if you can spot it below:

X user Cole (@ColeSomeNumbers) shared the photo on the platform this morning (17 April), writing in his caption: "Came across a video of someone showing off their new build house and let me know when you spot what’s wrong."

Already at 901k views, the post has gone viral as viewers have been quick to share their amazement at how the 'kitchen floor' type driveway isn't linked to the garage.

"It’s a driveway for your air fryer," one person joked, as Cole added: "There’s a 2nd issue where they mention the 'integrated garage' as a feature, that has no access from the inside."

"The garage is not for parking. It's for startups," a second joked.

"I hate everything about this. Everything," a third penned.

"This is the house equivalent of wearing your joggers below your pants?" someone else questioned.

"That garage is for parking his lawn mower anyway..." another added.

Now, if you are thinking about buying a home, then you might have come across Italy's €1 home promotion.

It has attracted buyers from all around the world over the past few years - and it sounds like a dream.

Purchasing a house in the heart of Sicily for less than the price of a coffee really is a fairytale scenario, perhaps the equivalent of winning the lottery.

Although, an American couple has revealed that the 'deal of a lifetime' isn't exactly what it says on the tin.

In 2019, Tam and Gary Holm sent an email to the mayor of Sambuca di Sicilia to find out if the €1 scheme was legit.

"He said there were tours of the town and the houses they were selling for €1," Tam told Business Insider.

Gary - who was working in England at the time - said the couple 'had some doubts', thinking: "Are they really selling these houses for one euro?"

"It turned out that the auctions started at a euro. We ended up bidding €5,000 ($4,000) for one and lost," Gary explained.

"But we knew this town was special. I instantly fell in love. So, instead, we opted for a private sale."

After landing one home, the couple revealed that their initial investment was €19,000 (£16,000).

Gary said: "But it needed plumbing, some electrical work, etc. Then, we realized that the place right next door had just gone up for sale.

"There is no land, and it's a house that shares three walls with other houses, so the only way to make the place bigger would be with one of the adjacent houses."

They then decided to purchase the house next door for €8,000 (£7,000), spending €27,000 (£23,000) upfront.

"Our whole costings were around $160,000 (£137,000)," Gary said.

It still works out a lot cheaper than the UK average house price at £281,913, but there's no doubt it came with more baggage than the couple had initially thought.
