JD Classics, what have they been up to?

I wonder if it's like the Brinks job and all the gold bars are in the sides of the indoor pool?

Beautiful house, that.

Yep, credit where it's due; the man embezzled a lovely house.

I find that surprising after the middle class flight from London to the countryside.

Every direction but East.

It's a lovely looking property though so probably just priced wrong.

Thanks for that. The price history feature might come in handy.

Buying it is only part of it, probably got to budget £200k per year running costs.

Buy a car for £50k. Sell it for £250k. Simples.

[tight fart]

Buy a car for £50k with someone else’s money and tell them it was £250k even simpler.
Then sell it for £500k and tell them you got £300k and split the profits, happy days.

It's a big house, yes, but it's not an old house. Running costs will be an awful lot less than £200k.

Full time gardener/handyman/mechanic/pool guy living in the lodge above the car ports on £30k p/a

Ditch the heliport and build a large solar array in the field next door. A few other bills and repayments on the solar i recon you could bring it in for £50k p/a.

Curiosity - what's the council tax? Here in France you would wince at the cost. We have friends who have "nice" house in an upmarket area around Le Mans and they pay €18,000 p.a. I have a medium house in another commune and pay £2,500.

Council tax (here in my part of the North West) tops out on H - £3984.

Really? By my reckoning, that makes their house worth €9,000,000.

Multiplying by alcohol...
