That London estate agent lingo: A compact bijou - pokey hole Does require a little tlc - it should be demolished Near transport links - the train runs past your window or the motorway runs through the house Centrally located - it’s a mile away and in zone 6 It’s deceptively spacious - it has nothing in it A lively area - a crime ridden infested dump that makes the worst bit of Moss Side look like Knutsford We’ve had back to back viewings all week - not so much as a nibble in a year That’s the 2nd bedroom - it’s a cupboard Interesting views - faces an ugly tower block Stay lucky, mate!

*That was great !* .. Imagine being one of the neighbours of that grow house ... oh dear. Every estate agent will have a list of local developers who have asked to be given first look at any do'er-up'er houses in the area. And they all passed. Good luck to whoever bought one of those houses you showed us. And regarding the comparison to other cheaper cities, I worked with an expat in Dublin who came from the UK. In the Celtic Tiger boom times he last 18 months and left, telling me "I'm an executive, and I make a good expat salary. But I can't meet my lifestyle expectations in Dublin as the house prices are just ridiculously high". 3 years later, the housing bubble burst and Dublin house prices fell by 58* over 4 years. They are only now, 20 years later, _just_ matching the peak reached in February 2005 ...

London is absolutely fking dystopian. The question for me is not so much how anyone affords to live there but why they would even want to. The only positive i can see, as a disabled non-driver, is that the public transport is pretty good, unlike in the rest of the UK where it's been deliberately run into the ground in order to force people to drive everywhere. All the same, if i had £1.4m burning a hole in my pocket i'd be spending it on something grand or quirky on the east coast, not a mouldy mid-terrace with a spectacular view of parked cars and wheelie bins.

It's the land that makes these properties so valuable. Someone or entity that pays 500K will want to tear everything down and rebuild. Then resell it for 5 times what they originally paid. So much for the young couple just starting out and wanting to start a family. 🤷
@JoyNova2 ай бұрын
Was thinking the same. I had a feeling no regular buyer would go for a property in that condition, you’d need a ton of cash to fix it up. Most likely, someone with deep pockets will buy it, tear it down, and build something new. That's why they leave it in that state, some rich person will look past that and just see land.

Doesn’t look like much land given the caravan on the side is not part of the houses land. Planning permission would not like the house torn down and started again and they would want the house looking exactly the same with the same brickwork as next door. So it probably makes more sense just going back to brick.

The "Guide Price" for a property at auction doesn’t carry much/any significance. Often, the guide price is set below the reserve price, meaning it’s impossible for the properties to sell at or even a bit above this figure. The guide price is primarily there to generate interest by attracting people with a low starting point.
