Quote Samantha said the house would be suitable as a full-time home or as a holiday let investment. She also said the current owners purchased the property as a holiday let which was generating a good income but a change of circumstances has meant the vendors are now looking to sell. Yeah, like a piece of nearby cliff the size of 2 football pitches suddenly plummeting into the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonguest Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 So good to see this thread come back to life. Frankly, these sorts of directly house price related threads have always been the best ones on this board - rather than all the 'current affairs' type threads.

It'd probably need more than that spending on it. It's got structural damage, so not mortgage-able. It's a mess. I love how the EA describes the garden as 'mature' lol. Fekin eejits.

Orb Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Here is that house 10 years ago. It's been deteriorating for years. Gonna take some serious work to get that nice. I suspect the price is more for the plot of land than anything. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.2069909,-0.8748645,3a,87y,342.88h,80.3t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sQN7AZHqwpDNDjTGe3ho1BA!2e0!5s20120901T000000!7i13312!8i6656?ucbcb=1 Edited November 20, 2022 by Orb typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godnose Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Came on the market today: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/63296673/ The bit that made me laugh out loud was "Ground floor flat with direct access to communal gardens." 🤣 Look at those "communal gardens" 😄 Being off the ground floor so as to have no access to them would be the better position. £400,000. I wonder if it went to auction, what would it get? I'm genuinely thinking it might get £260,000? You could rent it out for about £1400 per month.

Visiting a tree surgeon friend in cornwall I went with him to work on a house in a similar position. I said "super nice gaff" or something and the bloody lady owner moaned that it was often cold and foggy. Cup half empty type like that doesn't deserve such a place.
