miguel Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 True but at least both examples are houses that were actually built to a decent standard, although built before energy conservation was an issue. You need to give examples of the horrendous sht that was built in the late 60's and 70's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KieranE Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 A rather unusual beast - a one bedroom house: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/98712044#/ You know it's bad when they say "Ideal for Investors" - which I think means "you wouldn't want to live it in yourself". It is 25% off though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sammersmith Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 "Ideal for Investors" Could you legally rent that place with this staircase? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A17 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Could you legally rent that place with this staircase? Looks like it would cause a badly broken ankle if you aren't careful! And the stairs lead DOWN into the basement bedroom, so it would be very difficult for the ambulance to get you out if you slipped.

Social Justice League Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Meanwhile down south... [Also a 2 bedder] lol, ffs this country has gone to hell when a sh1thole like this is even advertised at £1,150,000. lol it looks like it worth £20k to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reddog Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Lol I know that area well. Maybe people are keen to pay well over the odds to day they don't live in Birmingham!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hotblack42 Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Meanwhile down south... [Also a 2 bedder] What a pointless waste of time. There's a good supply of large 3/4 house in nearby streets for that budget, and a 200 sq. m 5 bed detached the other side of the park. The agent should have sat them down for a home truth chat.

Buffer Bear Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-87337438.html Guide price: £40k https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-87504781.html £465k - studio flat 351 sq ft. Yeah, I know it's Marylebone but c'mon. And my favorites below (not s#*tholes but overpriced) were two of many links sent to a colleague in the NE in an attempt to explain why I was unable to afford a home in London (the difference in our living standards is quite telling). The prices left her gobsmacked. She visited London a few years ago for the first time. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-97872269.html https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-78656785.html Edited December 12, 2020 by Buffer Bear Added studio flat link and my next home, and grammar.

dirtyduck Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Some of these are not to bad on the scale of the shite being built today (I don’t mean price wise). My favourite is a new build flat near me. It’s three stories and is the exact same height as a Georgian house next door, it looks ....odd....and shite. I think there will be a period of stagflation in housing. The good stuff with a garden, real walls and liveable areas will tick up in price , while the new builds drop.

naturals Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Surely that must be a typo? Sadly I doubt it. Richmond is crazy expensive. I just got a Covid bargain basement rent here and am astonished at what property changes hands for. I just don't know who can afford it. It definitely isn't the stereotypical Asian / ME investor buying here. Most families are young (30-40) so doesn't seem like old money. Here's another 2 bed house on the market at the same price - https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/56848937?search_identifier=6c95ed33ced260ba3c0b5accd3c61abc The one's an extra £50k - https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/57027651?search_identifier=6c95ed33ced260ba3c0b5accd3c61abc Or if you want a flat you can look at the conversions in Star and Garter House but those go for £2-3.5m for a 2 bed.

richmondtw Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 If you think it is too much money do not by it. There are loads of things that I think are overpriced. I do not post photos of them or rant about them I just walk away. Richmond is crazy expensive It is yes I can vouch for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anonguest Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Blimey! £54M and £44M and neither of them have any garden. Well, that's certainly one heck of a floorplan! A far cry from the usual semi-detached layout> I guess when you get to those price brackets lack of a garden isn't really an issue. You just step out the front door and straight into your car, which Jeeves will drive you to the private airfield and your waiting private jet or nearby helicopter, and whisk you off to your evening barbecue somewhere in France or nearby closer to home - and then back home to bed that same evening IF you really had to. Place like that probably requires a full-time cleaner. Like the Humber bridge, by the time they have finished they'd likely have to go back again to where they started from. Certainly not your typical 2-hours once a week cleaning lady. As for value for money.... I guess you could ask IF you were lucky enough to not just win the UK Lottery jackpot BUT a many multiples rollover jackot win would you buy that place OR, say, a castle or mansion with endless acres of land somewhere in Europe - and still have millions left over.

Agree with the stairs themselves, but how do you have stairs that go to a basement any way other than down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
