Courtney Love reportedly won't buy Kate Moss' house because it is "depressing" and "a mess".

The former Hole singer, who looked around Kate's north London property once before, backed out of plans to purchase the mansion after a second inspection left her "horrified".

Courtney is said to have told friends the three-bedroom house wasn't worth the £3.5 million price tag because it is in such poor condition.

One pal told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Courtney had a viewing and wasn't convinced, but Kate persuaded her to take a second look. That was when Courtney noticed the house was in a state - with scratched floors and old-looking plug sockets. She said it was a mess and she would need to clean it up.

"Courtney said the magnolia and pink walls made the house look depressing and sterile. She told Kate the house wasn't worth £3.5 million because of the redecorating."

The 43-year-old rocker even disapproved of the supermodel's art collection, which includes a print of the late Sex Pistols rocker Sid Vicious and a vampire painting.

The source added: "There was a painting of Sid Vicious in the bathroom, which Kate said was valuable, and she offered to throw it in. But Courtney said she couldn't bathe with Sid hanging over her."

Last month, Courtney was reportedly banned from London's Claridge's Hotel after starting a fire in her £1,630-per-night suite on her last visit.

In July, the rocker celebrated her 43rd birthday by allegedly getting drunk and "wildly" wrecking her £495-a-night Covent Garden Hotel suite.
