Mental. If I had to do a "Price is Right" guess, without knowing what it was really valued at, I'd say £350k?

When you see stuff like this, you can't help but think London housing is at the edge of an absolutely enormous precipice. Half a million pounds for a very low spec small 2 bedroom flat? How much do you need to earn to be realistically able to buy this... a couple earning £100K per year plus? I would be expecting a lot more for that much cash, earning that amount of money.

I'd have gone £250k, and even then only because of the postcode.

I can't even believe that they can try to describe this as 'high spec'. Everything looks low spec and a few years old, right down to the brown carpet that they couldn't even be bothered to clean/hoover before taking the photos.

This would be unsellable at virtually any price outside of London.

True, but if I were a rich Greek with lots of dosh in Euros I think I'd want to park them somewhere outside the Eurozone for a while. Which probably explains these:

Over a million quid for a new 2 bed flat. It's an ugly building and it's right next to the Old St roundabout, which is hardly W4.

The toilet's so stunning it merited TWO photographs. Just love the blue plastic toilet brush. Worth 550K at least; or £1.99 from your local Poundsaver store.

What a load of cr*p.

This isn't really a home (although we've seen recently how people have started to convert garages into spare rooms...). However, I had been down to Swiss Cottage at the weekend to see a film at the IMAX so we parked in one of the nearby residential roads. Very nice area, was wondering what we could afford for the budget we've got right now.

Well, this is all that appeared in the area we looked for parking...

What kind of car you'd want to be storing for that price, I don't know, but nothing is worth paying that much to store, surely.

maybe its a meth lab inside and it would turnover 100-200k a year!

A not especially overpriced house for the location at £120k but.... When is a small 2nd bedroom not really a bedroom at all?

You're clearly not an estate agent. That's a double bedroom*.

Bunk bed.

I love how the width of the room seems to have been determined by width of a pre-existing radiator!

The last couple of pages have thrown up some absolute classics. Truly, London must be the most ridiculous City on Earth and will eat itself.

I rushed here after finding a joke of a house but now feel almost pedantic for posting this (From the Regional Bristol thread):

In the back of beyond, miles from central Bristol, you get a pool in the Kitchen, an out building at the end of a sweeping drive, gym in the bedroom, bars on the bed and the word dream pasted to the bedroom wall. Dream? It's a F+%*&ng nightmare. Offers in excess of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand English Pounds please kind Sir. Surely a contender for overpriced shithole 2012. Oh God, just checked the history, they originally wanted £369,950. I need a lie down.
