"...there are opportunities to pick up genuine bargains" hmmm right. If they are such bargains, you wouldn't be making it so public you'd keep it quiet and snap them all up yourself!!!
If someone offered you a lottery ticket on Sunday morning for 50p, but it was for yesterdays draw, would you think "Bargain, 50% less than it was yesterday" or would you think "That probably isn't a winning ticket so I am buying a crappy little piece of paper for more than it's worth".

Why are they fantastic "one-off" commercial premises? Does this mean that you turn them into commercial property one day and then they turn into something else shortly after? Is "one-off" a phrase the EAs put in front of any property to make it sound more desirable?
I can confirm that I know the loos in question, at the Broadway end of North End Road - they are the classic Victorian-style public loos with stairs going down into the earth, with different staircases for men and women and railings all around. To be found all over Britain, gated and padlocked.

"Highlights include a listed Georgian town house in Kennington - guide price, £575,000 - and a two-bedroom Edwardian mansion flat in Maida Vale - guide price, £525,000."
.....how does a guide price of 525,000 for a two bed in Maida Vale prove that sense has returned to the property market? The only people with enough money and too little sense to buy a two bed for half a million are the bankers who caused this or the foreign nationals looking for a 'pied de terre' (?), which is hardly indicative that the general public are back on the hunt. Moronic VI article.

Nonsense and no sense at all. Lot further to go yet before the genuine opportunities present themselves.

Absolute cobblers.
"Mustbesold is an auction house offering properties for sale by auction which ‘must be sold’" & "Around 200 lots, some without reserve, will be offered for sale by the vastly experienced Graham Penny, whose Derby based operation is already the largest in the East Midlands."
Well how can the be 'must be sold’ and 'some without reserve' are complete contradictions. And I know people who've been to his last auction in Derby and a huge chunk (over half I beleive) didn't sell.
Clcik here and then on the 4th September
