Or maybe a castle if that's your thing. Needs more cars in the underground garage.

It is rare for a £2.5m semi to come on the market in York, so for that alone it earns a place here

Pricey but nice. Only drawbacks I can see are traffic noise and drunks on race day.Tadcaster Road, York

Utterly gorgeous though. Who actually lives there?

You're buying the company that owns the castle, and that sounds to me like a caveat to say that even if the company is worthless, because it can't make any money from the castle, you still have to pay the value of the castle, which is arbitrary.ETA, it may have something to do with foreigners being able to buy real estate in Belgium, so you have to buy through a company. I don't know, but that certainly applies elsewhere in the world.

I'm guessing the property is owned in a company, and the house sale will be made by you buying the company and the value of the company is determined by the balance sheet.Slightly different wording in this one:

Edit: what Doofus said
Views from this one will be good I reckon

I thought it had been sold fairly recently and it seems my memory is still working ok
https://www.zoopla.co.uk/property/low-grange/westo...
Looks like some substantive remodelling has taken place since: half a mill's worth?

I’d say £1.2m tops given what broadly comparable properties are selling locally. That said, Ryedale has seen the largest increase in enquiries from house-hunters since lockdown in the whole country according to Zoopla (“New Zoopla data revealed that house sales in the North Yorkshire district - home to the 'foodie capital' market town Malton and close to the North York Moors National Park - have risen 53 per cent between May and July compared to the same period in 2019”).
So I suspect the vendor/agents for this one are simply trying to cash in.

According to zoopla (link in my post above), it was for sale with Carter Jonas from Jul 14 at £1.2m until it was bought in Jan 18 at £1m
Looking at the photos then and now, the internal remodelling is extensive (seemingly moving the kitchen from one end of the house to the other). The game changer is the bringing back into use of ~3,200 sq ft of outbuildings - they look great.
If it was worth £1.2m in Jul 14 as it was, then it is worth £1.5m as it is all day now. However, that Jul 14 valuation was shown to be optimistic.

Does anyone need a room 10'x9' for a printer? Must be a bloody big printer And I get that it's 'dressed' for photography but why would you have a comfy leather club chair staring at a sheet of corrugated iron. Most of the outbuildings are small, 12' deep is no good for cars and the stables are only 15' deep. That would need a hell of a lot of reconfiguring to make it a nice place for a car collection and what with that slope on the drive area "Ah'm oot."

Too big for everyone surely. Have to be used as or for a business...

They're presumably Belgian, so unless it's Poirot, we won't have heard of them. Utterly gorgeous though. Who actually lives there?

It’ll be interesting.
