Mr. Miyagi Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-16564029.html It may not be to everyone's taste but property in my area is starting to look cheaper than it has in the last 8 years. I should think you would be able to get that for around £60k-£65k. The area, although ex council is not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, a 15 year mortgage is less than my current rent that is with a calculation of interest rates at 6% (just in case) at 10 years the mortgage is only £100 or so more per month more.

There are 3 bed houses like that going for the similar price where I am, close to Wigan, but they are terrible areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks all right - nice for the Beacons and handy for the M4, but some of the old industrial valley towns seemed pretty grim when I lived near there. That was over 15 years ago - any better now?

The lower shirhowy valley has low crime, good employment ratio, good schools and excellent transport links to all the major local cities, including Bristol. It has lots of open green spaces too.

plummet expert Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm tempted What rent would someone pay to live in that house? What was the price at top of market? The house is at a price the southeast could do with! Thing is that Wales is a slow market even at good times and can take years to sell.

The house is at a price the southeast could do with! Thing is that Wales is a slow market even at good times and can take years to sell. I would say around £120k at the peak. The rent for that house would be around £500 to £525 per month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
