Went to view two 4-bed detached houses today in East Lothian. Rooms were tiny! Honestly, bedrooms - fit a bed in. Living room - fit a couch in. No room for anything else. £200k+. Told the EA the rooms were shockingly small.
Response: 'Well, they're new-builds' .
She then added... 'You can't expect much more at this cheap price range'
Make of those comments what you will...

Honestly, couldn't you have figured this out from the room sizes on the schedules or web listings, and have saved you and the EA the trip.....?
Why do you need to SEE the room to realise what size it is?

Wonder how many illegal immigrants you'd have to squeeze in there to make this a savvy investment?

what a strange looking house, who would put a front door like that in when everything else is symetrical, knotty pine doors and skirting is shocking.

Britain has more external storage space (such as Big Yellow Storage etc) than the rest of Europe combined.
Small houses + Argos and cheap Chinese sh1t + grabby, greedy chavvy culture = rampant demand for external storage
[color="#4169E1"]2013 Predictions (as at January 2013)
1. Nationwide & Halifax will show a nominal house price decline of 3% or less across 2013. Falls will be steeper for flats, starter homes, unemployment blackspots and in the North and Wales. Falls will be shallower for 3+ bedroom family homes and in London and the South East.
2. Land Registry and Acadametrics declines will be less than Nationwide and Halifax because they also include cash purchases, which will constitute a growing share of total house buying.
3. The base rate will remain exceptionally low in 2013.
4. RPI will be higher in 2013 than 2012, but by the end of the 2013 will be about 3-4%.
5. FTSE will be over 6500 by the end of 2013, corporate profits will grow, but driven by cost cutting and overseas earnings rather than domestic demand.
6. Owner occupancy rates in Britain will decline further as <25% deposit mortgages remain restricted.
7. Greece will still be in Europe by the end of 2013, but the underlying problems won't have gone away and at some later point they'll have to abandon the Euro.
8. Unemployment will finish the year at about 2.5 million. Median pay will fall further behind average pay as inequality continues to grow.
