One-percent Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thought I would post this. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-46711023.html fantastic house in a brilliant location overlooking the sea. However, most in the town are either unemployed or on minimum wage. The house needs a total referb and is on for 600k i guess the hope is a retiree from dhan sarf. But would a retiree want a property this big? Who knows, I will watch with interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
electrogear Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 They wouldn't sell that at 400K. Another dreamer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
One-percent Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 You wouldn't think so but the hope is for the retiree from London with money to burn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shrink Proof Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) So they're looking for a buyer who wants to spend £600k on 70s decor and who wants a conservatory tacked onto the garage (with no direct access from the house) in a place which is the first windbreak from Norway. Should be a doddle. Edited February 6, 2017 by Shrink Proof Quote Link to post Share on other sites
One-percent Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 How about this one? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-44079336.html on for 925k, just reduced. Bought for 480k less than two years ago Coz wages have double in that period. Not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spyguy Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Have a look at what houses are actually selling for: https://houseprices.io/?q=yo21 Look at the prices and how many are sold each month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
One-percent Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yep. The standout one on your link is nearly half a million for a house on love lane. So, there is at least one person with too much money. Bet they were not a local on minimum wage. Ill be watching the two I posted with interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everywhere North of London - and London now - is illiquid. Popel might sell before IR go up. Odds on theyll all end up rushing for exit at the same time. Basically, the most a local can afford is about 20k x 4 - assumign theyev not got a car finance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The £925k one on St Hilda's Terrace is still for sale though. We went to Whitby for the Regatta (fair & fireworks for the kids etc) and walked past that house, and a very similar near neighbour that was up for £575k (7 beds instead of 8). http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-64730117.html They're so similar that unless I'd got 7 kids I wouldn't even bother looking at the 925 one! I'm guessing the price of the 7 bedder has just totally undermined the cost of the 8 bedder, even to someone who doesn't know Whitby at all, and who comes from an area where 925k is cheap for an 8 bed house.

Well the £925k one is still on sale a year later it seems, while the £575k one has sold apparently. I assume the £925k owner are in no rush to sell at all... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks a probate too - old gas fire, old lady curtains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume that if they only sell, say, £200k worth of tickets then the lottery is cancelled, or are they obliged by law to still raffle it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
