Overheard conversation on the Leeds - London train whilst waiting at Leeds about a year ago: "Why would anybody pay a quarter of a million pounds for a flat overlooking a railway station?"

As the Brighton Squatters Collective have recently been evicted from the Grade I listed Fife House, they are currently looking for a Grade II listed property in London. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-...se-1061289.html

I was told that Roedean only survives because of it's pupils from overseas. P.S. I also had an eBay bad debt from a pupil at Eton.

A situation I envisage is that residual debt will be sold on to debt collection companies for say 25p in the pound. They will sit on it for 10 years before they start chasing and The Statute of Limitations kicks in. The only way out is Bankruptcy. P.S. This is happening with old style student loans.

Land and property debt is 12 years in England & Wales and 20 years in Scotland.

Did a drive by following your post. Looks even more derelict than it did when sold at the height of the boom. From what I could see the fire damaged part of the roof timbers at the rear and I was going to take a pic, but roofers were removing tiles at the time.

It could be interesting having members of the Russian Mafia as neighbours.

And fake audited accounts from Anglo Irish Bank. Correction:

Echoes my thoughts. They provided historical evidence of the madness.

I do like the Argus property stories. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/4083815.Can..._000_of_damage/

Rightmove currently have 261 £1m+ properties listed in Poole, almost all located in Sandbanks. Even more astonishing is that according to Rightmove no less than 45 of them were listed in the last 24 hours!

To find out what is really happening in Brighton, go and visit the County Court. I like the Argus Readers comments. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/4077499.Kit...d_by_recession/

Many thanks Tommy Boy.

I have posted about this development on this forum before and would guess that it took them down: http://www.oakdene-homes.co.uk/development...147EF974609F6FF
