Then he was going to move it to a caravan pitch costing £500 a month.... the other people had bought and done up a house boat after she took early retirement and he had royalties income from a song he wrote once. Again, mooring fees of £300 a month, after paying for the f
king boat and doing it up, which costs as much as a house.Stupidest f
king programme I've ever seen - hardly a cross section of the UK population featured - and their 'secrets'? Have loads of money saved and/or a job that requires you to not actually do anything for long periods, and even even if your new outgoings are the same as a mortgage but just isn't technically a mortgage - you are mortgage free! Utter, utter stupid wk TV. Why did I watch it??Anyway back on topic.

Quite like this: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope.... Shame the other property is so close.
This is one of several barns...

Just put up for sale in our road (and I absolutely love our road). I want it - because it is so interesting, with such great potential (and in and out driveway).
Going to see it tomorrow and convince the Lady F that the house we have just finished renovating (hopefully worth £1.15-£1.2m) should be sold for this lovely old thing. No loft needed, nor plumbing or electrics, so I reckon I could have it done to a decent standard for £100k (our 2800 square foot full renovation including loft, digging out floors, all services/utilities and plenty of structural steelwork cost £200k).
£85k in stamp duty though - OUCH!
But it's such an interesting house, and at 3300 square feet, just about big enough to make me stop hankering to leave London.

Looks great - but you can see why the market is stalling with the SDLT at that level.Going to see it tomorrow and convince the Lady F that the house we have just finished renovating (hopefully worth £1.15-£1.2m) should be sold for this lovely old thing.

Completely...So if we like it, I am going to lowball them and wait it out. We live just down the road, and would drop our sale price expectations on our own house if we can get this house for say £1.2m.
Lady F is pretty much going to veto this, though - our last renovation project has driven her bonkers. But this one looks nothing like as extensive...
