Nice looking house, but I'm really not fancying the hours drive to the nearest supermarket / motorway, so sorry I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberbrown Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 There are so many irregularities in that listing, that it would make me run a mile. For starters, nine pictures and eight of them are of the outside grounds. No floor plan. Flooding from that stream anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Looks a nightmare for the fuel oil lorry to get there - assume it uses fuel oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr 0.01% Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Haha, what happens if they don't sell it this month? Does it explode or something? Or just depreciate in 'value' like the rest of the market should. Who actually falls for these marketing tactics? £1000 buyer's incentive? Why not just knock the cash off in the first place?

Yes, I thought that, when it rains up there on Exmoor it certainly rains, and those babbling brooks can turn into torents, I too was also disappointed by the lack of pictures and a floorplan, but that still doesn't get around the problem that it's an hour from civilisation. What I am interested in is the 'MUST SELL THIS MONTH !!' technique, will it work ?, Also, check it on bee, it's been reduced by £100k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venger Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 A bit of a reversal for whoever bought it in 2009. 22/09/2009 £370,000 http://www.housepric....php?q=TA23+0SN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrink Proof Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I can remember going to Luxborough for a week as a kid, staying in the pub. It rained & rained & rained & rained & rained.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJAR Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 we had an agent send through a property which they "NEED TO SELL BY AUGUST" the thing was ugly as sin no wonder it wasnt selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigantic Purple Slug Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Last time I went to see a house was about 6 months ago. Anywyay, was overpriced (what else would it be on HPC?) so I told tehe agent I liked it had the money but was too expensive. She said whats your price. I told her the low offer and she said not really worth bothering putting that in so I said fair enough and didn't bother. Anyway, yesterday she rings my answerphone, apparently they've got "lot's of new properties on their books that I may be interested in". They must be really desparate if they are dredging up leads like me. Agents must be hurting big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Loo Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Perhaps they are moving to a property investment in Australia in July? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiges Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Nice looking house, but I'm really not fancying the hours drive to the nearest supermarket / motorway, so sorry I'm out. Contention between me and the missus, I'd happily live in the middle of nowhere, she wants to be minutes from being able to buy stuff.. I wonder if Tesco will deliver there ! As for heating, shame there's not enough land to have your own wood supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantnrave Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'll go on a recce later. And please keep us updated with how this pans out next month. Every time I read threads like this, I'm always keen to find out what happens but rarely do we get to know. Wonder if it's worth offering them 90K on June 30th?

200p Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 If you do have a neighbour, then that can be a problem out there. A relative lives out in the sticks in a farmhouse, the next neighbour is a real grumpy weird B*stard but at least they are in the next plot.

The Masked Tulip Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 LPG, according to the details, yes, I'd want a big tank. That's a problem with EA sites advertising country housing isn't it nowadays - they must be a great research tool for people wanting to nick oil/lpg from isolated buildings?

jammo Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 "£1000 BUYER'S INCENTIVE AVAILABLE (subject to terms and conditions)" Oh gee thanks, that'll really make a dent in the 320 thousand pounds sterling wanted for the simple pleasure of having a house. When it's time to sell my car, I'll be sure to offer a tenner INCENTIVE AVAILABLE. After having added a good 50% a year increment in value - because I'm goddamed worth it!

The Knimbies who say No Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 In fairness, Minehead is nearby and that has plenty of supermarkets etc so it would not be very isolated unless snowing. Nice part of the world. £200k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
