Now here’s something very funny.
£100K offer to help sell £2 million home.
This guy is offering a reward of £100K to find a buyer of his £2 million home in Devon. LOL.

3. will… But you could have a much bigger bed to stay awake in and watch an all engolfing plasma screen untill your eyes go red and you
have to sleep. Don’t you get it man? Load up baby before someone else. Damn, these losers! lol.
will says:
Never mind. The Banks will dispose of it pretty quickly once they decide to so.
If I offer £500K for it, do I get the £100K cheque back?
Still laughing.

Seriously, buy it and dump it. Lifes too short to worry about the future. Gordo will look after you, err, or someone!
crunchy says:
Borrow the 2 million buy it and default on completion with the 100k.
Is that not how things are done these days?

The difference is, that I can sleep at night.

It definitely does not look like a very greenshotish example, no.

4. will, you are making as much sense as these time stamps. : b

The seller bought this place for 412,500 in August 2007. Possibly 2 million might be a bit optimistic.

I’d love to be that guy… so desperate to get rid of his house… It’s probably lovely as well, just no one wants to buy it. Shot in the foot by the fiscal situation!
mander says:
Build a lottery for the house. £10-15 a ticket when 2 million is up they will anounce the winner. I am sure people can afford £ 10-15 pounds and so there will be no sub-prime.
will says:
The guy paid £412K a year ago and now expects someone else to find £2 million. I think come valuation day by the banks that they will see it differently. The guy should spend the £100k on a psychiatrist.

@ nubbers….yeah, what a greedy b*gger.
Here’s an idea for the vendor…why don’t you drop your price!
bleakhouse says:
He’s just too mean to pay estate agents fees.Wants someone willing to work for 1/2 per cent.
What a cheapskate scammer who’s supposed to be in the property business and can’t do his job.
I have nothing but contempt for him.
paul says:
Indeed bleakhouse – excellent point, but let’s just check that maths:
(100000/2000000)*100 = 5%
Not bad money compared to what an estate agent charges but firstly lets face it this is desperate ‘magic beans’ and secondly, why on earth has the BBC decided to bung this chancer free sales publicity?
Some website editor (who is anonymous to the reader) will be getting a free dinner tonight no doubt!
Agent Orange says:
bleakhouse – isn’t £100k more than 0.5 percent of £2mil….?

Do your homework guys and you’ll be less likely to give the impression of being incompetent. And let’s face it, when low hanging fruit like this is offered, it seems foolish to trip up on your own shoelaces.
In particular:
the house was sold in August 2007 – nearly 2 years – not 1 year ago
however, that fact is probably is irrelevant since, in August 2007 major renovation was begum – see above links.
Seems that the HPC is over in Devon though. According to Independent, seller was only asking $1.5m last November.
(see

and the comment on this page:
http://www.theoldbakehouse-tuckenhay.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&Itemid=30 c/w
which indicates that the article in the Indy dates from November 30th.
Nomormovin says:
5% commission seems a bargain compared with the 6% that is par for the course where I am – USA. Not happy about it, but can’t do much about it. Some on-line brokers are squeezing prices a bit, but overall, the transaction costs over here are horrendous.
