Guest Bart of Darkness Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I saw this last week in Winchester Road, Southampton - Oh how the times have changed. Indeed. I'll have to look out for something similar although I've always maintained that the Sheffield area is legging other parts of the country.

Venger Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Can't find those houses on the Morris Dibben website. In fairness it looks like a recently completed new build project to me. Although from following threads on the forum about Southampton (with it's higher than average rate of repossession actions) the outlook doesn't look that good.

Its appalling that to buy a 50% share of that flat, you have to be earning a minimum of £18k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its time to buy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I saw this last week in Winchester Road, Southampton - Oh how the times have changed. Please show us what's going on in your area David If I was the EAs boss I would sack whoever erected all those signs. They should have released these homes in "phases" doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Liebenstein Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Can anyone think of any good house price crash photo subjects other than lots of boards? Empty EA offices? Repossessed people? etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polyposh Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hey - that is also funny because this is a branch of Austin & Wyatt that also closed down in Chanders Ford Underneath the sign is an old Fox & Son shadow Are they trying to tell us something about the state of the housing market ? Maybe I need to keep in touch with what is going on out there Polyposh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony2007 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 In spite of the much talked about 'credit crunch' - I hate that phrase, there are dozens of new developments that are going ahead in my local area. In order to show my disaproval of this I intend to plaster the house price crash logo all over these sites. I expect I will be arrested at some stage. I will endeavour to post some photos of my exploits on here. In the meantime I would greatly appreciate some ideas for funny remarks I could print under the logo. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthesofa Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Storm clouds gather over new build flats - really, look: http://www.homes24.co.uk/doc.html?_a=view&id=366900 I go past these regularly. I saw them go up and week by week I've seen the increasingly desperate marketing banners draped across the front: "Now accepting reservations". "Last few remaining". "Ask about our special incentives". "Ideal buy-to-let opportunity". The latest says "only 4 remaining". I'm not sure if that includes flat 3. It has an auction notice posted outside!

lifechooser Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The first photo in this thread needs updating. It looks almost the same as before, but now all the signs say "To Let". There are still for sale signs around the side of the property. Could someone local go and take a look please, I don't pass down that way very often.

MattW Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Some brave investor wants to rent out these new properties. The rest of the site to the left of the picture looks pretty much unfinished. Too late to invest? Or will it eventually pay off with many sellers movinginto rented property? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
