I live in Ashvale area and have been waiting to buy for over 5 years now!
The area just doesn't seem to be affected by the recession at all. There is a bungalow for sale £199k nearby, I rang estate agents to view and he advised me 11 offers are already in and the current bid is at £225k! He said he couldn't understand the interest as £70k of work needed and investors wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
What is happening to AshVale/Mychett area?? Shall I overstretch myself now on a pad in Avondale (!) or still wait....?
