Jolly Roger Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 https://metro.co.uk/2018/08/13/builder-daniel-neagu-used-digger-cause-4000000-revenge-not-paid-faces-court-7832964/ Romanian builder goes on the rampage in Hertfordshire with digger, tearing apart new build homes apparently worth 800K a piece (not that they look it). "He was allegedly laughing and taking pictures as he wreaked havoc on the homes". A handful of boomers are no doubt having to put their moving plans on hold while awaiting repairs. If I paid four fifths of a million for a detached house I'd want more than two meters separating me from my neighbours either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Me Back To London! Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Is that right, one pays £800,000 for a new house and it is still timber framed, ply board, breeze blocks, tin foil and a few real bricks for window dressing?

ebull Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I smell a rat. This is what houses cost in Buntingford - hideously overpriced but not 800k for those tiny slave boxes. Buntingford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebull Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 what you get for 800k [less the 15% +++ discount I assume is available since they are not selling at this for many many months] https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-71094284.html https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-70767641.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pindar Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Good grief, I hope they have more bacofoil and plywood in stock at the local B&Q. The design is a slight improvement on the bungaloids of the 60s and 70s but really, 800, 000 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptotrader Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm guessing he didn't get paid for work done. I'm suprised we don't see similar more often. I guess Romanians have bigger balls than fawning, slave British workers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tes Tickle Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Is the £800k valuation for the benefit of their insurance claim? Either that or they mixed up the value of each house with the total value of the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freki Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 To be honest, he did not destroyed 800k a house, he destroyed 100k, the 700k left is the land it sits on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A third of everything Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm sure the BBC said they were £400k+... not sure what all the fuss is about, just rent them out innit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stop_the_craziness Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 When I saw the headline on the story I wondered HOW you could destroy a house with just a digger. Then I saw the houses. I think he did the potential owners a massive favour there, those houses were shockingly poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I imagine you could do a far amount of damage to just about any house from any time short of a castle by whacking it with a digger. Agree that they look shockingly rubbish though, but are any newbuilds much different? It's called "progress".
