No, not for sale - windows and doors go in stage one Wednesday (sodding rain has cost us ages) I have looked at moving, but can't find anything at what I think is fair value that offers much more than we have for less than double the price .... which just isn't worth moving - I keep my eyes open obviously, but I've not seen that nugget yet...

update your thread then!

Mine goes up this week, just under stamp duty threshold so we'll see what happens with it.

Very nice - way ahead of the McLaren in my view! Are you reactions going to be up to it? I went to a Palmersport day at the weekend and after spinning an Atom several times concluded that I am never going to be a driving god.

Next door neighbour been trying to sell for a while. Dropping and dropping the price as they really want to get it gone (was it something I said..?)

Finally got an offer of £4K under their asking price. Neighbour on the other side (all pretty much identical houses) commented that that's about what she paid for hers in 2004.

Only one house I know, but thought it was an interesting perspective on where the market is at the mo.

About 20% over the course of a year. And their starting price would have been considered very reasonable a few years ago, I've no doubt it would have been snapped up (judging by what similar properties have been sold for at the time) so its not as though they were simply hopelessly optimistic and dropped to realistic.

Times they are a changing.

the london agents seem to keep assuring the BTL's of decent yields

these flats in finsbury park were 200k off plan for a 1 bed and 245k off plan for a 2 bed (they have yet to complete but should do in the next 4 weeks)

even if this bloke gets 300/wk for this one thats a nice return.

the problem is that these flats were cheap because they were one of these new fangled social projects where potential scumbags live side by side with DINKYS who work in the city.

I know quite a few people who have purchased there. Its going to be interesting to see how it pans out and whether they will be knocking on their neighbours door to borrow some sugar, or whether there neighbours will be breaking down their door, when they are at work..

I cant see this client is going to be over the moon with his agent

the only thing he has left out is his missus's vital stats

This is happening in my part of the SE too (Sussex Coast)
Nearby house, bought for 190 in 02, went up at 225, my guess sold at 208
(no work done at all in that 10yrs though)
Another, up for 405 2 years ago, divorce, now "sold" (for now) at 305 which is also about 03/04 value imo.

Had to laugh when front page news of the local paper property section is a house actually being sold

I am watching the house opposite relative's one at the moment - they sold up for £340K in 2003. Identical house in give or take identical condition is now up at £350K. (4 bed exec detached, pampas grass and a 5 series sort of thing). NW. Another relative's house in the next street (we turned these places into ghettoes...) also up, about a third smaller, they're asking £350K as well (still 4 bed, pampas grass but more of a 318Msport street) - market's struggling.... and evidence it has done for a long, long time...
