Orb Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) ^^ Oh God.... this isn't even funny anymore. And it's modern method of auction, meaning that's the teaser price to get people bidding. If you managed to get it for that asking price of £275k, and laid down a £125k deposit, the mortgage would be £904 per month for 25 years, and with interest you'd pay back that asking price. So £400k in total. The UK is so broken. Edited March 19 by Orb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m seeing several houses that failed to sell the normal way even after several reductions going to modern method of auction, and now I’m seeing a few of those obviously not getting any bids or not meeting some ridiculous reserve price as they get resisted for modern method of auction again some months later at an even greater reduced price. And I’ll bet they still don’t sell, because they’re still shitholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englaender Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/137816432 This place really pisses me off but not worth starting a new thread, so adding it here. New build "eco friendly"... and yet the EP Rating is D. New builds shouldn't be anything lower than a C. B ideally. And yet it's still Sold STC.

We lived in a new build with an ASHP and it got a D rating because of electric heating. At best (according to the EPC) they can get a C with solar water. https://find-energy-certificate.service.gov.uk/energy-certificate/2832-1732-9009-0954-4292 In Ireland I believe you can't build a property that will be under a B rating. My daughter had one hell of an expense putting in a ground source HP and rainwater recovery etc in order to get the rating up to B . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those heaters are going to be helluva expensive to run. Builders shouldve installed a A2W heatpump with underfloor heating or at the very least an A2A minisplit serving the most used rooms.

The correct name for a terrace in estate agent speak is cottage. As for the photos, what were they thinking about. If I was a prospective buyer I would want to see pictures of flowers in vases, moody shots of ornaments, landscape views of somewhere within 5 miles etc. Better still, use computer generated images. Have they learnt nothing from marketing techniques for new build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there building regs regarding space? Something tells me that bog falls foul of those regs. No?

People might remember I've been following this property for about a year on this thread. It's the dilapidated bungalow in Hardingstone, Northampton, with the tree growing through it. It sold for £196,500 in Apr 2023 Then flipped and relisted at £295k, then dropped to £290k, then £280k, then listing taken down. It's reappeared today at £280k again. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/145941527#/?channel=RES_BUY Maybe they should just make it dirt cheap and start a bidding war, eh?

Funnily enough that’s one of my saved properties just for fun, wondered where it had gone as noticed it was off the market, and couldn’t find it resisted. Re-saved..!

If you look at the floorplan, you can see that the software does not even allow the WC to be shown as it actually is because the width of any WC is greater the space between edge of shower and the wall!

How the actual ****** do you let a property get that delapidated? Must have some family somewhere, if the bloodsuckers in mine are anything to go by. Feel sorry for the neighbours having to look at that $hithole everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
