A one, yes ONE BEDROOM HOUSE a bargain for one hundred and twenty thousand pounds:

WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder the NIMBYS say don't build around here! If all the current building monopoly is capable of building is that.

Why can't we build more estates like they could one generation ago.

In my opinion a pleasant and sustainable development with driveways, a place to put your bins and gardens for the wildlife to flourish.

AND YES, THIS WAS FARM LAND BEFORE IT WAS A HOUSING ESTATE.


WHY ????????????????????

[Ulfar]

Its because of nimbys that we don't get buildings like that any more.

Farmland no chance of building on it.

I like the description...

"Attached modern house"....like that makes it different from semi detached.

People don't like diluting the money housing supply ?

Take a look at this hideous development:

http://maps.google.c...2,140.98,,0,6.2

Not even I want that built!

Building lower density developments would use around double the amount of land. At the current rate of development we would another 0.00001% of the available land in the UK each year.

Ah, Shit & Smellit...popular for commuters who work in Brizzle & Bath, but cant afford those prices...

Agenda 21

[Gone to Ireland.]

I now absolutely believe that the housing supply is that tight that another 1 million well distributed houses appearing overnight would not harm property values in this country.

People only 'allow' these crappy developments because 'it is worse than where we live' type attitude.

I really start to question how this attitude came about? It must have started after around 1995, there was a sudden change of thinking by the general public.

I've seen one bedroom houses like that where the building actually divided in four so you get a corner each.

I think it started in the 1980s, when a few "minimum size" planning restrictions were lifted!

Therefore you won't get decent houses built! Just cardboard flats!

How many more threads will we get claiming that there is a housing under-supply problem. There isn't its a myth created by the big builders to justify there land banking and get planning permission for slave boxes.

All we have is an over-demand problem created by lack credit conditions and the property route to riches culture.

But there are older houses.

'Built in 1884 originally for the railway workers, Barnet re-listed the estate and protected it
with a conservation band and since then the estate has been lovingly restored and has
become a tranquil haven for young families'

NW2 6QL, two bed terrace (nicely furnished IMHO) asking price .... £399,950. Not many railway workers will be living there now.

There is an under supply of large houses. If anyone had predicted 15 years ago that normal people would be spending so much money on houses, you'd have imagined that all that capital invested would have led to a massive increase in standard of living and quality of dwellings. Instead supply was artificially distorted and we just bid up the prices of the same old rubbish.

it did lead to a massive increase in living standard whilst prices increased as that debt and tax take off it was spent back into the wider economy, granted it was mostly on sh@t but you dont go making quality programs about what makes Britain Rich and the like unless living standards are going through the roof
