A small, poky little dwelling may be described as ‘compact.’ A house that is very run down and in need of major repair work can be marketed as ‘with potential for development’. Something of an old shack which is downright odd and has an unfortunate odour is sometimes advertised as ‘having character’. I need to be upfront about trying to get you to join a small church. There can often be problems. I do not want to fall foul of the Trades Descriptions Act! You need to be clear about what you might be taking on.
