Shrink Proof Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I like this place http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3556207/Once-medieval-pub-smugglers-bolthole-three-bedroom-family-home-market-375-000-Grade-II-listed-building-said-haunted-ghost-warning-sailors-bad-weather.html but not the price. I think the owners will leav in a box rather than a removal van. Five years since it was put on the market, still unsold. By now, anyone local who might have been interested will have looked, shaken their head and moved on. Which leaves incomers. Yeah, right - see you in another five years....

Id guess No1 saw No3 up for Sale in 2008 Great! Buy both houses, redevelop £££££££££££££ 12 years later ist been sold for 10k less than they bought it plus the mortgage and running costs. Council tax alone and utilities will have been ~1500/y Pretty painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadebt Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Its got more than its fair share of ex-cons, living in old B+B, now HMO flop houses. The town needs to zone out all HMOs from within 2 miles of the seafront. Still laughing at your 2016 reply https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flophouse A flophouse (American English), doss-house, or dosshouse (British English) is considered a derogatory term for a place that offers very low cost lodging, providing space to sleep and minimal amenities.[1] thought the term might be derived from 'hangover' Get pissed at the pub then pay 2p to sleep on a rope in a dosshouse - sounds lke a plan!

If it were in South Ken I would buy it - but nowhere else not for that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyguy Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 If it were in South Ken I would buy it - but nowhere else not for that price! And this is the problem, not just in Scabby. Pick a town, Look for the local median income. 60% of locals earn that or less. You want house prices to go up in an MMR world? Then you need to get employment and earnings up. Thats it, nothing else works. Gormless councillors spouting rubbish: https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/politics/housing-market-broken-how-scarborough-council-aims-help-provide-homes-borough-2734309 As part of its ‘Build a Better Borough’ programme the authority is exploring how it can deliver better quality and increased numbers of affordable homes to buy and rent within the borough. The council’s 2018-2021 Housing Strategy set a target to help facilitate the development of an additional 820 affordable homes over a five-year period. To date, 525 affordable homes have been completed, with up to a further 350 due to complete by March 2021. In an area where house prices have not shifted for ~16 years (they are down ~30% in real terms). 'Fixing' the housing market by building a load of cheap tiny houses is like putting out a fire by throwing petrol on. All thats happening in these new crappy estates is 20% go to social housing, another ~50% have been bought by idiot IO BT, whove put in more social tenants so youve got an estate way out, 70% of people with no money and loads of kids. The few daft f-fffers whove actually bought to live in find themselves in a dumping estate, so sell up within a year. Cllr Liz Colling, cabinet member for Inclusive Growth, said: “We are absolutely committed to helping people in our communities get a high quality and affordable home for life, to buy or rent. “The housing market is broken and we are determined to do all we can to give our residents every opportunity by exploring new and innovative ways of delivery. “This initiative will enable us to create an aspirational, fairer and more inclusive society.” OK, heres my suggestions - do stuff within the LAs remit: 1) Lower council the bare minmum - aim for 30% lower in 5 years, that'll release a good ~400/y for young home buyers. 2) Stop housing benefit scum from outside the area. They cost a fortune and ruin the less good schools. 3) Aim at getting a few schools in the UK top performing, to attract people with jobs. The Scabby housing market is working correctly - only houses that local can buy are selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrink Proof Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Er... the chance of Scarborough Council doing anything to help the people of Scarborough isn't that great. This is the council that awarded the freedom of the borough to Jimmy Savile. They run the place like a banana republic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
