Here we go, I know the area and its not too bad at all, not quite priced at 133k however I reckon you could go in at 129k on that and have a good chance.

I knew there would be someone who would carry out the rightmove searches to try and find these 4bed detached homes....Shouldn't have asked:rotfl:
£190k priced 2 yrs ago? Now at £133k? What was it this time last year when prices started to drop?
Still think the O.P is at the wind up0 -

A quick IP check of the user account may reveal all:p
That's the problem. We can't see user's ip address in this forum. If we can then we will know whether it is true or not. Either way 50K less than asking price sounds like a good deal. I don't mind a good deal like that in the south!It is not likely but it would be nice if I find a deal like that.

No I'm pretty sure it isn't, to be honest, its been up a while and there are a few others at a similar price, few more

Im sure the moderating team have these powers. They'll know if its a duplicate account;)
It does appear to be a 'good deal' if genuine but I find it hard to believe the O.P was a long time lurker, and then registered his account just to tell us of this good deal? Why bother? Why didn't he stay a long time lurker and keep this good deal to himself?
Ah well, perhaps the O.P can give us the link to this home and proof that it was bought for £189k 2yrs ago?
That way, ill shut up and eat humble pie;)0 -

I think that kind of proves that not all areas are that far off rental price.0 -

They do exist:eek:
That is a lot of house for the cash, look like complete bargains to me
Perhaps they are bang right in the middle of a troubled council estate or there is no decent employment in that part of the country to warrant high prices?
Bargain though.0 -

I'm guessing it is a repo because look at the picture of the bathroom in the link you gave us:
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-17575036.rsp?pa_n=2&tr_t=buy&mam_disp=true
It has got a tape on top of the toilet. I have viewed repo properties before and they all had tape. So I guessed it could be repo!0 -

Is that cheap? If you don't mind the area, you can get cheaper, even close to the South-East.
