They are built way too close to each other. You pay that much you don't expect so close to neighbour.

[@louises240]

Totally agree. That kind of price you want land around the property. Not on top of next door.

[@hannzie.b2414]

It’s mostly due to the area if it’s a popular area like Milton Keynes or London etc it’ll be a higher price for less property so it’s probs that 🤷‍♀️

The original plot was a bungalow, bulldozed down & these two detached houses newly built on the land. Hence why very little space between or land. All about the profit margins

So you don’t think it’s a hideous mock Tudor monstrosity on a tiny plot. Interesting.

[@abuismail9983]

Unfortunately that means that the insulation normally is also as bad as the old brick houses which results in high gas bills. As a foreigner I don't get why they still build houses like this. It is cheap to build like this yes but also not fair to the one who buys it... You pay so much Gas & Electric because the houses in UK can't keep warmth as they are built poorly insulated... If you buy a new home then at least with cement mortar how everybody else in Europe...

[@cyberdonblue4413]

Both beautiful properties but you would be completely on show to half of the neighbourhood at virtually all times. There is not one single secluded outdoor area (in either property) so you would also be in full view of the whole area when relaxing outside in the better weather we occasionally have here in England. I think the vendors will be lucky to achieve the asking price. For that amount I definitely wouldn't commit to such a public space.

And a fence of saplings, as if.

Tbh I live in Solihull and that is a very nice house, the price reflects on how near it is to the centre and to be fair it also reflects on the demographic.

[@janeorson5452]

There's a lot to like in this house. I like that it has a study and the fact that everything is so clean and new and no one has ever lived in it before you. It looks light and spacious and quite characterful. Also plenty of storage and worksurface in the kitchen. Sometimes they look big but when you think you're going to put a kettle and a toaster on it, maybe a knife block etc, there's never enough space left over. Also, big fridge and freezer. I'd actually have the top floor as the main bedroom, as I loved that extra space.

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

A decent area of Solihull and the property looks to have a good finish. The 2 areas which were underwhelming for a house with a 1.5 Mill price tag is the skinny staircase and the small garden. If spending that kind of money I'd definitely look around the bottom end of Warwick Road, Park Avenue, or Manor Road kind of area, for much larger and established gardens, in better locations. The compromise being you'd probably lose out on the modern finish.

[@skeennah1927]

Looking at some of the houses on this channel, makes you wanna work really really really hard in life................................. I like the toilets being around the corner, deels like your in a club. Love the en suite bathrooms, via the cupboard doors.

So cute to catch them sharing the details of the house. My partner owns a estate agency firm an it’s great to see the level of detail they’ve both explored in the house, equipments, furnishing and style. Beautifully furnished family house with big rooms and high ceiling. With most houses you will find ceiling height, layout or room size to be disappointing. Whereas this house no faults!
