No disrespect to Mansfield (I have family there) but it would have to be a very large bungalow to be valued that highly I think! More like a Roman villa!

Perhaps the EA was being a bit "optimistic".

Ravenshead a few mile outside of mansfield.....a very nice place TBH but full of old farts....would you live in the same place for over 50 years if it wasn't nice?? and i can assure you he is the rich uncle in my family.....(or should i say the only rich person in my family ) so could have easily have moved.

Its just one of those few places left in the country where all the neighbours know each other (most of his neighbours have also lived there pretty much the whole of their lives to)

The funny thing is as far back as i can remember he has never changed the decor in the kitchen or the carpet in the lounge....awesome colours

I don't hope for anything. I live my life to the best of my abilities and make decision on an informed basis.

Everyone who has a mortgage which is not fixed 'hopes' that mortgage rates dont go up

Everyone who is in a job 'hopes' they don't lose it

Everyone who is healthy 'hopes' they remain healthy.

Don't live your life by what if, live your life making decisions about facts that you know at the time, be flexible and prepared to adjust when the information changes

Brilliant post ISTL. You've encapsulated exactly what I was trying to tell someone else on a different thread that I'm going to quote you on it. Hope that's OK.

Thank You.
quote if you want or just say it yourself.
It's more important that people hear the message

Oh, I've gone much further than just quoting it

Hey! I don`t live too far from Mansfield but there are nice areas you know! The part just past South Notts college is very nice.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way

Maybe the future impoverished generations of children, as yet unborn, sent economist Nouriel Roubini 'the crunchinator' back into the present day with the idea of attempting to stop the economic insanity that lead to the credit crunch.

Good idea for a film ?
OK, i'll get my coat.

I agree that it is a perfectly okay area, but it is not the most prosperous after the end of coal mining, and I was surprised a bungalow would be worth that much.

£250k is a lot of money.
