PatientWaiter Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'd normally post this in the "what's happening to house prices" thread, but just for your entertainment: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-459...pa_n=1&tr_t=buy These started life at 99K... then some dropped to 89K... then some dropped to 84K then they all dropped to 84K and now some have dropped to 79K...

homeless Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 i bet living in a place like that is just like living in a big house except you have a lock on your bedroom door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spline Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 There are lots of properties under 100k !<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I measured this last week for my area, which reflects the National average, using a rightmove sample of about 1700 prices - only 0.17% of the properties are £100k or less.

jpidding Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Jesus, you're right....just checked 10ft x 10ft. I've lived in 50sqm apartments in Germany....they are ok for 1 person. Copped off with the odd student bird living in a 25sqm place.....bit pokey, but serves the purpose....but this is like 9smq....can this be right??? Nine square metres??? Am I missing a zero somewhere? Must be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Sounds about the same size as the first place I rented. It was actually OK for 30 quid a week in 1990 or thereabouts, but what fool would pay 80k for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpiricalBear Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yep, you can definitely get 1600 sq feet around b'stoke for £350k That is 16x larger than this studio. Therefore dividing 350k by 16 gives you a tad over £21k Wow! Some folks have made a *heck* of a lot of money out of the people buying these places over the last few years.

the_duke_of_hazzard Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 When I was a student I lived in a room that was 5 ft by 9 foot. There was no cooking facility and it was sandwiched between the lift and the showers. I paid 400 pounds a month for the privilege. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Rose Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 That flat is surreal. The only way you could live in that is if you were using it as a place to lay your head during the working week, before going back to your real home at the weekend, and even then you'd struggle with claustrophobia.

xian Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 horrible, horrible, horrible. Anyway, it's not a studio, it's a bedsit. Built in bedroom furniture - read single-foldaway-into-wall-bed. Nowhere to store stuff. Living area always smelling of the previous weeks cooked dinners (which morphs into the smell of rotten cabbages) I've done bedsits before. Truly depressing.

Am I missing a zero somewhere? Must be! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nine square meters! That's cruel and unusual punishment even by Tokyo standards. My wife and I lived in a 55 sq m apartment, and it was small. I think the smallest one-room-mansions I saw in Tokyo were about 19 square meters. Usually when these things start hitting the market in volume, it is time to bail out of the market big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
