TheCountOfNowhere Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 My target price per sq ft has been £175 since 2008. A cheeky offer would see that reached and breached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCountOfNowhere Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Was an interesting viewing for sure. The house is the first 1 ( or maybe the 2nd) i've seen since 2007 that was actually value for money and we've see a few over the years !!! It was massive and a garden to match the house. The main problem being the amount of work need to bring it up to scratch and the cost of upkeep. Just getting a gardener to upkeep the garden would be about £2K a year. The estate agent said people were getting a but desperate to sell at the moment and the BrExit uncertainty is having a massive impact, they even said, interest rates might rise. The Countess want to put an offer in at £150 per sq foot ( about £900K), but even at that the numbers dont add up. For the first time in a long time I think there is some hope though. Regarding the comment. "buying at the peak"...it's only buying at the peak if you're paying peak prices. Peak prices round here are about £350 per sq foot and that's for a sh*t house on a sh*t estate next to the motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCountOfNowhere Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 MODS, feel free to move this to anecdotals. Was an interesting viewing for sure and worth seeing what the price per sq foot for a decent house should be locally post brexit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
