Saw this -

Desirable Location

Utterly ridiculous. It's worth half the asking price.

WHY are people stupid enough to buy at anywhere near these prices?! I've just checked the rental prices in Dundee - £700 pcm gets you a decent 2-bed apartment/small house. So why would you fork out £200k for the same "privilege"?!

£250k+ for a nasty ex council prefab semi in need of modernisation.

In need of demolition more like.

Nice one Ames,

Plenty of these house types in W-O-T and Stoke Bishop with ludicrous asking prices.

I have to bring a favourite of ours from the Bristol thread on to MOSH. I note there is no photo to the rear of the first floor. Where is the width for a bedroom and a Bathroom? Regretfully, even Bristol is falling victim to the "Developers" of Bijou Broom cupboards.

Plenty of cups though! Including what looks like a walk in pantry but only half the usual width.

WTF is that meant to be.

Not sure why they bothered with the floor plan that doesn't include measurements.

Astonishing.

14 May 2012

Brief Description changed: Realistically priced with No Chain. A wonderful and unique end terrace house which was previously a sweet shop within Bishopston. The property is a great alternative to a flat.

Somebody, please, plug me back into the matrix.

Yes, but they have knocked 6 grand off the asking price. Only £159,000 English pounds now. 7.5 times the average Bristolian salary.

:lol:

Indeed.

This is what you get for the average price of a UK house. To be fair, it is probably slightly larger than the average slave box in the UK... :unsure:

Nice concrete 'garden'

Why do the interior pictures show a stairwell????

What a waste of a perfectly good place to park your car. Get rid of those kitchen units and you've got yourself a decent garage.

(house? FFS)

Check out this beauty in Streatham with an outstanding view of HMP Brixton, playing host to part of its security apparatus apparently!

A steal at 364k

Are Foxton's employing midgets now ? The kitchen worktops and sofa are at eye-level in the photos. Unless of course this is some dastardly photographic trick to make the place look bigger.

I never understand the point of blatant lies in the estate agent details; after all they'll become glaringly obvious on a viewing or a survey.

It's basically a brick shed round the back of a terrace in semi-rural north England. And if you look at the satellite photo you'll see that the area is, um, a bit of an industrial mess.

YOURS for a mere sixty-nine thousand pounds Sterling. Or about 3-4 times the average salary in this part of England. Ridiculous.

If that one advert doesn't scream "Housing Crisis in Britain, Do Something About It!" then nothiing will. Is that really a third of a bungalow for a quarter of a million? A third for a quarter!

It's in Woyal Berkshire! Screams out for a savvy investor.... Loadashite

I had not sceen this one trawling through, well thats because when I am looking at the 1 bed flat type properties I never get as far as the 6 figure priced ones, but 1 bedders are about 80k for the nicer ones, maybe you could go to 90k because its not a shithole inside, least 40k overpriced, looks quite well maintained so prob a yearly service charge there also.

I think this is set for a "special reduced price" in a few months time.

The vendor of this flat must still think that it is 2007...

1 bedroomed flat, Norwich City Centre

Good location, nice architecture, not a s**thole inside - but £130k for this small ex council flat?:blink: Aside the restricted parking, you should check Google Streetview to see what is located in front of this crescent of 1930s flats...

Re: that house in W2 - I like how the Estate Agent puts the picture of the house itself at the very end. Even they think it's a s**thole - at least from the outside.:lol:

I stayed in W2 for a night and watched Pearl Jam & and a few other bands at Hyde Park a couple of years back. I wasn't too impressed with the area, plus I inhaled a lot of Co2 from the traffic, etc. :(
