JustAnotherProle Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 14% clearly not suited to lie to the public as an MP Quote
The Masked Tulip Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 70% - apparently I am the next leader of the Lib Dems Quote
zugzwang Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 35%. London prices! Surely even the people who own there know something's terribly wrong? Quote
pyracantha Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) 40% - not sure if it's me that's so far out of touch or the price of houses... Edited February 25, 2013 by pyracantha Quote
mikey808 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I got 47% but i think I only scored that high because I got the idea early on... sorta However my overall feeling is one of complete and utter disbelief at the insane prices. It defies belief frankly Quote
winkie Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I got 47% but i think I only scored that high because I got the idea early on... sorta However my overall feeling is one of complete and utter disbelief at the insane prices. It defies belief frankly Got fed up with it so no score......the thing is don't matter if it is 6 million squid if you can't buy it, take it that it is not for sale.....only fools rush in..... Think what you could do with £2million.......and what you definitely would not do with it. Quote
Rare Bear Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 18%. I was really shocked at the price of the flat in Queensway. I can remember being in an estate agent's office in Queensway in the mid 80s and he was talking to someone about a two bedroom flat in that area for about seventy thousand. The prospective buyer had thought that he might get one for about sixty K. Quote
doomed Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I know if I lived in London and could get £2m for my 3 bed flat I would be selling it and moving north to retire. Quote
winkie Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I know if I lived in London and could get £2m for my 3 bed flat I would be selling it and moving north to retire. Take the money and run....I am sure plenty already have or are in the process of doing so. Quote
Eddie_George Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 83% £2 million? It's a terraced house FFS! Quote
sukuinage Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 74% & should be a politician Think I've been on this site for too long. Quote
AvoidDebt Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 70% too. Noticed that both Miliband and Cameron live in terraces approaching the two million mark. Do you think these guys have any desire to solve this mess? They probably look at Rightmove and think ohhh, look at the bargains out there, so cheap.. Quote
richc Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) 70% too. Noticed that both Miliband and Cameron live in terraces approaching the two million mark. Do you think these guys have any desire to solve this mess? They probably look at Rightmove and think ohhh, look at the bargains out there, so cheap.. One of Osborne's parent's houses is on the market for £14,000,000. This has probably gone up by about £3 to £5 million while their son has done such a fantastic job as chancellor. Proceeds are probably going straight into a trust to avoid inheritance taxes. Edited February 25, 2013 by taxed_crusader Quote
Lepista Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Surely they should base "mansion" on the floor area of the building(s)? Oh, no score - got bored 1/2 way through. Quote
bearishonhouses Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 post up your scores http://www.moneyweek...mily-home-62800 74% - obviously lived out of the UK for too long. Quote
ScrewsNutsandBolts Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Surely they should base "mansion" on the floor area of the building(s)? Oh, no score - got bored 1/2 way through. If you stopped how do you know you were 1/2 way through ? Quote
workingatthepyramid Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 70% easy after the first few, apart from one or two, if it looks like a mansion its not in LDN so not > £2m, if it looks like a shithole it is in LDN so > £2m Quote
Executive Sadman Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 The daily mail should do one of these but with the theme 'hard working family home or chav single mother on benefits/asylum seeker home' Quote
shrike Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 66% I feel a bit daft as it should've been obvious from the start that the shite holes would be mega bucks and the big (but expensive to run) ones outside of that London would be under 2 mill. I was quite shocked that people will stump up those sort of sums for really ordinary looking places. Quote
Lepista Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 If you stopped how do you know you were 1/2 way through ? The percentages posted are in approximately 4% increments, meaning there are about 25 to get through. I answered about 12 or so of them. Quote
