Venger Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm almost tempted and could buy that with cash... It looks like number 4 from StreetView. Last sold for £72,000 on 07/04/2006. The owner could have spent money doing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athom Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It looks like number 4 from StreetView. Last sold for £72,000 on 07/04/2006. The owner could have spent money doing it up. so you think maybe bought for 72, spent 27k doing it up then worth 99k by some measure and now discounted by 30k? Maybe more like bought for 72, and owner wants to pay 3k for a roof over their head for 5 years. If peak price was 72 i can only think it's bottom price will be sub 10k, it must be one of those sort of areas? Even 2 bed terraces in Goole were fetching 120k in 2006.

rantnrave Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 For comparison, here's what you can get if you a stick a big fat ONE at the front of the price tag: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-19765944.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantnrave Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 If this did go for the 70K they're asking, how likely is that to set a new benchmark for the street? Or are EAs just going to treat it it as a one off price from someone who was up the creek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venger Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 so you think maybe bought for 72, spent 27k doing it up then worth 99k by some measure and now discounted by 30k? No I don't think that, but more towards your thinking actually. I just didn't want to ridicule rantnrave grasping for a sense of good value when so many savers have heightened worries about their savings. The 5 years will hopefully have not all been on a low SVR or tracker, so should have cost them a little more than £3K if they got a buyer for their 'offers in excess' asking price. Partly for benefit of owner, unless it was a BTL at some point, but also looks like it's been done up to sell on with profit in mind. Twigs in a vase.

Back in 2001 I remember nearly going dutch with a friend to buy a 3-bed terrace in Hull for £8000!!! It wasn't a slum either just looked like a typical student digs.

Executive Sadman Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 So its back to OIEO of £70k, which also happens to be 2006 (ie peak) prices. Doesnt seem like much of an offer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Piddle Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I always think there is a reason why they are using Express Agency to sell fast e.g. neighbours from hell, severe structural defects etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks tempting when you probably compare with the prices of property on the same street a few years ago, i,ve seen the same and got excited about them. what i see are people who know that HPI has gone and are becoming realistic about which way prices are going and what to move on before getting stuck.
