laurejon Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The reason it is so cheap is that it is semi detached. You dont get much for that type of money these days, can you imagine introducing your boss and his wife to the sumptious back garden, standing under that glorious pergoda, I reckon you will certainly have arrived and a promotion would be on the cards for the lucky person who buys this one. You would be the envy of the Golf Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice chav tastic flooring and no garden for 700k !!! ... http://buckleysonline.webdadi.biz/details....55-855C02C123A2 Close enough to Wandsworth Common train which is 10 mins to Victoria in the so called "Nightingale Triangle" which is the pricey bit of Wandsworth. My old boss sold a nowhere near as nice 4 bed terrace in the middle of Balham last autumn for half a million, so once someone sticks a 90% offer in it'll be about right I guess.

StrapInThisIsGoingToHurt Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 This "house" is a prime example justifying my decision to leave the country for a year and take a breather. It's like living in an asylum of numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like living in an asylum of numbers. I agree. Sh1t I have always had a largely undefined sense that things are way over priced, but to see what 700k buys you in London nowadays really has brought it home. This whole thing is a freaking mindhump! I feel like I have entered a parallel universe. Unbelievable. This is going to end sooo horribly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £700k one is in a great area in SW London, this one is Central. You can get 3beds for less, but they don't make such good posts..................

Some idiot russian will snap this up - although communal gardens - hmm, harder to bury the bodies in! I think we should a thread dedicated to laminate flooring.

Guest Bart of Darkness Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 There seems to be a high level of confidence in our economy - and the fact that there hasn't been any significant shift southwards of house prices suggest to me that more and more people are opting for other methods to get onto the housing market. It is probably their belief, and encouraged by their elders that house prices never go down, and it was expensive when they bought their first house. These people are going into it blind, borrowing high income multiples based on average earnings spread over 30+ years. And of course there's those going for the shared-ownership route also. The bottomline is you can't stop these people from doing it, and they're doing it daily - and all the meanwhile, a few people who studied the history of house prices are holding back in the hope of a massive crash/correction. The crash won't happen because there's too many stupid people sadly who will keep this going - the banks are still lending copious amounts of cash. I'm almost at the point to say this is the way the world economy is going, jump on board join in - it's your only option for reward - otherwise you're be forever priced out and excluded from the party that the masses are revelling in right now. There was a thread on here about everyone being rich. I went into my local CoOp, and a can of coke was 69p! 7-up was 72p! I thought these drinks were 50p - and even i thought that was pricy!! How do people afford their £40k X5s ? It's crazy consumer driven credit frenzy - driving up inflation etc etc. I know a lot of this has been mentioned before and this adds nothing new to the debate - but my thoughts are prices aren't going to be affordable ever! :angry: Spacious three bedroom flat situated on the basement One and three-quarter million quid to live in a basement?

Marina Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That Estate Agency seems to be typical of a new breed of tosspot emerging. This is from their web site, whether it will paste or not, let's see. Being a new agent we have employed a top Brand Agency to propel us forward in a competitive market and ensuring that as a seller your property is given maximum exposure and as a buyer we have the best selection of properties. We want to make both buying and selling a property a much more pleasurable experience. The list helps explain why we have chosen to break away from the establishment and see the opportunity to provide a more up to date and professional service focusing on the needs of clients and applicants. Buckley's is .... Conversational, Intelligent, In Your World, Challenging, Warm human and Witty, Confident and Certain, Concise and Pithy, Understated Respectful to the Reader, Rooted in Facts Buckley's isn't .... In Your Face, Cold , Clinical, Purely Rational, Wordy and Embellished, Bogged Down In Detail, Dumbed-Down, In the Estate Agency World, Lecturing or Arrogant Reminds me of the vile, self-serving puke that graphic design agencies come out with about themselves. The standard of English is, of course, appalling. There is a new generation of 20 something to 30 something business people that are truly full of the most nauseating sh*t and they can't even express themselves correctly. They find a good home in estate agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I say don't think of an orange cat in a blue tree what do you think about?

Guest grumpy-old-man Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 LAMINATE FLOORING!!! COME ON! But a truly naff garden. I think we should a thread dedicated to laminate flooring. "Carry on laminating" or "the joy of laminate flooring" it will be called. laminate flooring was originally designed by the little know organisation "Council Housed Agressive Vandals" co-orporation, their design was intended to provide a quick way of getting new supplies of alchol (cans & bottles) from the kitchen into the lounge when the wife was out shopping for furry boots. This provided uninterrupted viewing of the football, whilst providing the Japanese founded JIT (Just-in-Time) concept. ok, ok......I know it was cr4p, but it is sunday night after all.

krosfyah Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Asking price of £1,750,000 Spacious three bedroom flat situated on the basement (with rear paved garden), ground and first floor of a red bricked house. The flat is ideally situated in this beautiful garden square within easy walking distance of Harrods and the shops on Sloane Street.
