So he probably only needs an apartment in a convenient central London location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesDawson Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Very interesting, would have thought a 4 bed house in that area would actually be a fair bit more at the moment, looking for a quick sale I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, well we had a boarder with some plants in it, once a year i pull put the weeds in the boarder and between the cracks in the slabs, spray some weed killer and thats the gardening done for another year.

Not just laziness, but a lack of both vision & appreciation for what he has. It's a pretty narrow townhouse, but has a decent sized garden in PCL, open on one side to what looks like a small park & a big canal. Boris obviously couldn't have been bothered to do anything himself, but getting a garden designer in would have made that a fantastic garden - perhaps with a raised bbq area at the far end overlooking the canal - not only a great place to spend the summer, but would have added to the value of the house he's trying to sell.

If you read the book the Blunders of our Governments you will realize that Chris Grayling is possibly not even in the top 10 of politicians who have wasted money. Prescott and Brown beat him just on the London Underground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had had zero HPI since we bought, it would be a lot cheaper for him to divorce his wife and buy a similar house. Obviously I don't feel sorry for him but it does reinforce what I have always said about HPI - it benefits very few people, sadly some people who have not benefited, think they have which is why it gets popular support.
