Am I missing something. If one wants to invest solely in the gold and can buy sovereigns at £197 why would one pay £250 for them?
I'm far from an expert but it appears some years have a higher premium than others
Hence why bullion by post sell them (currently) at £303

Forum moderators - I'm posting the details up here as I assume there isn't a classified section - please feel free to move
Reason for sale - saving all my pennies for a new car and with only 5 gold coins it feels I'm neither in our out of Gold.
Based in Cheshire (wilmslow)
I want £1,250 for all 5
-
Is there a classified section ?
I have 5 1965 gold sovereigns that I am looking to sell ??
Rather not use ebay or "trade" them in
Cheers

What amuses me is that if I had bought a pile of gold in 2007 instead of a house, I could now buy my house, the house across the road, and the houses on either side! Just like some HPCers were saying back in 2007 when I first joined the site. It's easy to be wise after the event... unfortunately I didn't listen at the time.
This really only applies if you used 100% cash to buy your house, as the amount of gold you could have bought would have been limited to the cash you had (as far as I know you can't get a mortgage on gold purchase...now that is an idea)

Been on the mkt since July 09 - over 3 years
Still marketed as a new build...I assume all the appliances are no longer under warranty.
Equally 3 years without being lived in (regularly cleaned, heated etc) will have taken some toll .

I have offered on 3 houses in the 3 months.
90.5% of recently reduced asking (new build)
94% of recently reduced asking
90% of estate agent valuation (after their fees) before even came on the mkt (100% cash offer)
I was rejected on all three, the first two have been on the mkt for 12 months plus, all be at slightly higher prices.
Based on my simple man maths, 8 houses sold in the area in the last 12 months at this price or above, there is currently 30 plus for sale, so nearly 4 years of stock.

....late £30's to early £40's according to jobs watch (based on just over 300 ads in and around belfast)

Quick search of Cheshire planning online suggests it was granted planning to be turned into a contemporary home and marketed (off plan) at £1.7M
The planning elapsed…and the locals decided the two cottages (it was originally two separate homes) were of historical value and extension to the planning date was subsequently rejected
As my 8 year says…..you snooze you loose
detailes when for sale at £1.7m

good spot - might go and view later
this area is awash with over paid for re-development plots

Forgot to add make sure your commute dosent include travelling on the M6 - the section between j15 & j19 is one of the worst for traffic, closures and accidents I have ever known - quick google search will confirm this.
I think the problem is down to the hypnotic effect of seeing so many black range rover sports being driven by women with orange skin...or men with two much hair gel - Welcome to Cheshire
-
Are you not looking on the wrong side of the M6 ? the traffic in a morn & eve can be quite mad going east west etc across the M6
Assuming you new office is east of the M6, I'd be looking in Holmes Chapel, Congleton, Macc etc
.........You will get less for your money (although your budget will still go a long way) however IMHO the schools are a lot better ...

Subject to a mortgage valuation scam in 2008 ???

Place we rent last sold in sept 2006 for £465k has been for sale for couple years with no bids above high £300's
Common house price wisdom used to bank on plus 7% a year, so today it should be worth over £650k

Don't belive the agents - lots of overpriced stuff in wilmslow but also some more realistic priced items
STD exec home sold oct 2007 for £550k - sold last sept for £402k (it went to offers over so this was the top bid)
Also 4 bed house, good area/street but in need of refurb for circa £175k - paxford place

I've been looking to buy in that area for the last 12 months (and Holmes chapel / knutsford prior to that)
Very little has sold - and I would even less lately unless it is at below 2007 prices.
Seen a few propities being marked down ion asking price by over 20% during the pas year. Some new builds have been empty and for sale for coming on three years.
I currently live in wilmslow and rent a 4 bed semi, 2 bathrooms, garden - 5 min walk to the centre etc for £1200 a month - based on the rental yield it should be worth around £300k - it last sold in 2006 for £465k and had been on the Market on and off for the past three years at mid £400's .....
I love living in the area however you have remember it the capital of bull & spin (& black range rover sports- ha ha )

Head line should read
“House prices to fall in real terms by over 12%”
Assuming inflation continues to run at 5% PA, compounded over 5 years this equates to 27% - so 15% “gain” is a real world loss.
-
I'm looking to buy, will buy all 10 assuming location is suitable (I’m based in south east and Manchester area)
I will pay spot (split between HG buy/sell prices), probably worth a couple hundred extra £ plus no postage/ insurance costs, I can do bank transfer or draw a counter cheque in front of you at the bank/ can provide ID etc
PM if of interest - cheers

I work within the Tesco group PLC (not bank or retail) the below is all in my humble uneducated opinion.
I have all my savings with Tesco (I know all eggs in one basket etc) however this article tipped it for me
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article28905.html
Banking Groups (separate Licences) Probability Deposits over £85k are Safe
National Savings & Investments 99%
Tesco Bank 80%
HSBC 75%
Co-op 75%
Standard Chartered 65%
Santander Group 50%
With recent events imagine the percentages for most have dropped ..as far as I know Tesco Bank as no response to Greek Bonds

Check light (all rooms) what's it's like during the day with the room lights off
Noise
Securtity (from theft/breakins)
Rodents
Cold/damp
There is normally a reason they are cheaper ...

How do you find out which banks have the most dangerous exposure to EU debt? I went into a view of my local bank branches yesterday asking about this issue and every time I was met with looks of "this bloke needs to be sectioned under the mental health act perhaps".
perhaps this will help ??

5 years living in a great home
didn't make money , didn't lose money - this is the way it should be

Some facts – Sold house - Exchanged, complete next week
Detached house Herts, bought in Q1 2006, not advertised and not a motivated seller, sold for 13% more than purchase price (less circa 4% we spent in renovation costs)
So net gain 9% in 5 years
Original buy and current sell costs (legal, stamp, agent fees etc) halves this number to circa 4.5%
Compound inflation during the same 5 year period (RPI) is circa 17%
So net net net ---- 2% loss over 5 years
**The EA value from peak (2207) to trough (2010) was a spread of 21% - fortunately I didn’t believe him on both accounts...
Now renting .....looking for part built/ renovation project
