Crossbow Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-158...=1&tr_t=buy I thought I saw a big sign outside this development in the summer saying "From £234,000". I refrained from posting the above link before as the sign isn't there now and I wasn't certain, but a chap in my office just said he's thinking of going for one of the flats, in his words "they were over £230k a few months back" If he is correct, the proposed prices have come down about £50,000. If anyone can confirm this I'd be grateful, as I'm thinking of telling my colleague to hold off or make a "silly offer". £175k for a one bed flat in Bracknell still sounds daft to me.

Also, what is a "stainless steel style" oven? Is it shiny and metal but really made from tin foil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstTimeBonkers Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Man-made space objects usually cost millions to make and launch, yet these properties have an "integrated satellite". So the price is a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Loo Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I can see it now, 50% owned by the builder, buyer gets IO mortgage and thinks they own ANY of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Does this house come with the advertised fixtures and fittings & wildlife...a novel way of presenting your property. £250k for the hedgehog (remember, it's genitals can be pickled, if it's chap), and £100k for the house.

r thritis Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I love these artist impression pictures. Funny they dont add the vommit on the pavements, the abandoned shopping trolleys and the gang of teenage junkies hanging out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I like picture 5 & 7 the view from the window, a few feet from the adjoining property looking straight into their bedroom or livingroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashConnoisseur Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Also, what is a "stainless steel style" oven? Is it shiny and metal but really made from tin foil? If they're anything like "stainless steel" microwave ovens they'll have sheet stainless steel on the outside, but the inside which gets covered in steamed on crud will be spray painted steel which goes rusty.

I grew up in Bracknell, this development is right next to an awful estate, (Bullbrook) plauged with drug abuse and unemployment, although thanks to Gordons miracle many probably have jobs now, all being low paid. You would have to be on crack cocaine to purchase one of these flats at those utterly ridicoulouis prices, besides that, Bracknell is a very cardboard town, nothing happening there apart from it's proximity to jobs in the software/IT sector and nothing lasts forever.

Bracknell used often to be referred to as /brack/null by the Unix geeks I knew in the 80s. A reference to DESC (I think) being there as well as its general awfullness.
