Nice rear garden though.

Russe11 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 If you mumble "hundred and ninety five thousand" it does not sound a lot. I wonder why there's no images of the veiw from the house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why there's no images of the veiw from the house? I have no idea but I doubt it has any sea views - there are some quite high buildings in front of it. The Pilot pub for one and, I think, an appartment block. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I don't think views are worth anything really. I lived in Lon Mafon in Tycoch, we had a huge view, all of Swansea Bay from Porthcawl to Mumbles, across the channel on a good day to Exmoor. Thing is, it was always there, we never noticed it.

Quite right, it's a bit like going out with a gorgeous woman ; after a couple of months her looks don't register and you're left wondering what the other guys are making such a fuss about. Whilst agents can ask 200k for ratholes like this without embarrassment , we know the sickness is still with us. (if slightly less rampant).

It was lovely so 495K asking price for this is, IMPO, interesting to say the least. Edited May 9, 2012 by The Masked Tulip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Tulip Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 good spot MT - 495k f***ing ridiculous!!! - no orther way to put it...sectioned up the coed next move. What is this - several hundred yards away just up the road for 290K? Puts the 495K asking price into perspective doesn't it? http://www.homesonview.co.uk/Scripts/ShowProperty.asp?css=&CompanyID=DAWSSKET&AgencyID=DAWSSKET&ID=DEP02193 They are all scared stiff down in that area fearing that the old Emmanuel School playing fields will become either: 1. Asda. 2. Big new housing estate (Planning permission is in) 3. Labour's new park'n'ride for Swansea West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd to me that virtually every set of photographs has these apparently brand new fittings? Don't forget, during the boom it seems that loads of people were having new bathrooms and kitchens. That is why all the plumbers and kitchen fitters were making a fortune. The style of kitchen and tiling in that photo reminds me of a relative's kitchen, which looks very similar, that my relative put in around 2004/05.

Swansea Estate Agent Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 £269k to live in Townhill Bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 £269k to live in Townhill Bargain That was my thought. I heard a story a few weeks back from one EA that he had gone to value a house in the Lons and the sellers wanted 300K for it - not put it on for 300K but wanted 300K for it. The EA told the sellers that most houses in the Lons go for about 180K to 190K and he could put it on for 200K, maybe 220K tops. Alas, the sellers were adamant that they wanted 300K for it bcause it had a lovely view and, ahem, another EA had allegedly said it was worth 300K. IMPO anything over 200K in the Lons is too much.
