It does seem like a low price for the block, probably most of them on help-to-buy. Surprised there'd be a lack of demand for a one-bed HTB flat in Croydon at this moment in time.

Dinesh Kumar was fourth in the queue of around 25 prospective buyers that lined the street at around 12.30pm on Wednesday. He says he was strolling past the former American Airlines building at 5.30pm on Wednesday when he saw a few people already in line and decided to bid for a bargain too. Mr Kumar, a father-of-three who lives in nearby Stanwell, said: 'I was walking and saw a couple of guys standing here and I said, 'What are you doing?' 'I ended up staying - it was quite the party. I'm trying to buy a place for £199,000 - it sounds incredible.' The 45-year-old self-employed tech contractor added: 'They say prices are going up and it's crazy if you don't by now you may never. 'It's a possibility that there's another credit crisis. If that happens a lot of people are going to suffer. I'm taking the risk.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its EXACTLY like 1989/90. First the premium stuff falls on its ****, then the nasty little starter home market dries up (why buy a Studio when the price of a decent 2 bed flat or terrace is falling steadily and substantially?). 3 bed red brick semis are the last to go. But go they will & how the middle Englanders will howl. We've just let our 4 bed in Gloucester. Before you all shout asking price we cut it by 19% - people are sitting on their hands. Family of 6 moving from a small place in a busy area to our roomy house in a nice quiet close. We'll rent something modest on the South coast now & sit the carnage out. Both buying and selling are a mugs game UFN IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon2 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Would love it if big drops come. But these price reductions are a bit of an anomaly so far. Like that **** studio in Hounslow, most sellers are doggedly clinging to a price that gives them profit or breakeven. The same for those flats in Croydon. Can't see any of them selling for a loss. Once the belief is perpetuated that your money might get you more house in a years time when prices are cheaper, we might see some more competition in prices, then panic coming along as people fear missing the gravy train. If there are loads of competing sellers then price might freefall for a while. At the moment where I am looking there are some houses that still sell quick, as well as some that are on for ages with only some tiny £10k cuts every couple of months. The sad thing is eventually they get sold as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rent a small place quite near there for work in rather better location, nearer to the forest and Wanstead flats. This house is excellent for commuting to Central London, socialising in the centre at the weekend (24hr tube), and in a all round better location than suggested above. The A12 is 100m down the road in a cutting, ie tolerable, and is not that busy Mon-Thu nights after 9 or so. The overground is behind, but is not 24 hours. I wouldn't live there, but the noise level will be OK inside, especially in Winter. I prefer silence personally, but some noise and pollution is the 'cost of doing business' in London. Agree £475k is still too high, but folk who think their crappy 2 bed new build in Wanstead or Woodford is worth £500k are going to poo their pants when they see traditionally constructed 3 beds going SSTC at prices like these. It'll probably fall through too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17clarence Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 There are loads of bungalows bordering the lake district, all seemingly worth 400k +. Here's one that didn't make it. https://www.onthemarket.com/details/2145474/ First on for 450, I noticed it at 440, since then it's been ' renovated' (kitchen and repainted), yet still a steady decline to 'price guide' 330k for an auction sale. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-54599490.html Apart from a lack of electrics, and a lot of surface mounted plumbing, it looks pretty reasonable, so I don't know what's putting people off.

ebull Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 By Modern auction I assume they mean modern method of auction which means no legal pack and when offer is accepted agent wants 5-10k fee from the buyer. After that you get to find out whether the title's good and do searches. The 5-10k is non-refundable and not part of price. IMO that makes it not for sale. There's a thread here somewhere about them. In this case they want to keep those details secret until you view. ? ? ? Looking for a greater greater greater fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longtermrenter Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 This isn't a big drop but classes as multiple - significantly though it is a help to buy new build. £25k off of £450k is 5.5% off the original price. Why take out an equity loan when you can just wait for the price to come down (and still probably take an equity loan!) Not the first HTB I have seen reduced recently. Also, small scale housebuilders seem to be leaving new-builds on rightmove a long time with multiple drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
