Coronavirus - potential Black Swan?
the flying pig replied to LetsBuild's topic in House prices and the economy
i pretty much agree. -
Will Corona virus cause a house price crash?
the flying pig replied to reddog's topic in House prices and the economy
the mind boggles, really. but once this is 'all over', a huge increase in unemployment is locked in, i can fairly easily imagine all government departments required to come up with huge 'efficiencies', i'd be very surprised if there weren't some exceptional new taxes/new tax rates brought in for high levels of income and/or wealth... so, yes, Corona will cause a HPC, but whether we're talking 5 or 10 or 25%, real or nominal, etc etc etc, is anyone's guess. -
If you can't sell your flat, try askng mumsnet
the flying pig replied to arepon's topic in House prices and the economy
Fairly futile thread on a national forum, where almost no-one will know that area intimately, e.g. that asking price would be bargainous for somewhere in say Mayfair, equally it'd be laughably bad for most areas of the country. If I had to guess what the issue is I'd say this was a case of someone extending [and also reducing average bedroom size as a part of this renovation] a smallish house to make it into a 'five bedroom house', & then being surprised when it's not worth as much as natural five bed house on a street that's full of them. -

3ft wide house £800k.... in London
the flying pig replied to interestrateripoff's topic in House prices and the economy
"...there is a the possibility, subject to planning permission, a first floor could be added to part of the mews - increasing the size and practicality..." Maybe at the very end. For almost all of it you'd be building in front of someone else's window, which I doubt is allowed. Honestly I think it looks like it has some vague potential given the area it's in, though almost certainly as a pied a terre of some kind. -
@ b_real - thanks, do you know if it's managed to get a decent sized user base going, particularly compared to property bee?
-
apologies for hoofing an old thread, I was just wondering whether property bee is still going/still has a decent sized user base/has been superseded or joined by anything else? I'm about to start looking at some flats in in East London, seems like quite a tech savvy area etc. thanks

Most Overpriced Monstrosity In London
the flying pig replied to jasonpistol's topic in England - Greater London
i can't understand the price for a house of that size in that location. even by current london standards it must surely be way out of kilter?
