Australians are so desperate to get on the property ladder they would buy a dark and dingy dungeon where a murder took place so long it was big enough.

New research found most buyers would need a long list of flaws to be turned off buying a home, and were drawn to quirky features that stood out.

Only 17 per cent would be concerned if someone died in the home, 15 per cent if it had an odour, and 10 per cent if it was said to be haunted. 

Another of the ways Australians are compromising to get their foot in the door of the real estate market is being lenient with how well-lit a property is.

The poll by Pureprofile found 93 per cent don't consider a lack of natural light a deal breaker when buying a home.

However, 30 per cent of those surveyed said they would prefer 'massive' windows in their future home. 

Home buyers were also not willing to reduce living space with 62 per cent saying they want multiple bedrooms in their future home. 

The other major needs are large rooms (63 per cent), multiple bedrooms and bathrooms (62 per cent), and privacy (52 per cent).

Should those needs be met, Australian buyers will put up with just about anything else wrong with the property. 

A quarter of buyers also wanted a new home with a unique design and 10 per cent needed that design to include a touch of quirk.

In fact, 26 per cent of Australians said they were obsessed with the thought of buying a quirky property.

The survey also highlighted the anxieties Australians have about being able to afford a home, much less one they like, and explained their willingness to settle.

Some 65 per cent said the 'right' property was hard to find, with 18 per cent
