Might be worth watching this place, there is a new Defence Medical services place being built here so local homes may be a good short-term investment for someone willing to take a risk?
A stupid risk at that - only buy with a long term view in mind.
Once you buy this so-called short term property, you might as well throw away the key as you are locked in for an eternity.:cool: Independent Abuser :cool:0 -

What's wrong with artex? Surely it will be back in fashion in the next decade or so??
Not the style they had in this house, it was the worst artex I have ever seen, and it was all over the place, hallway (ceiling & wall), front room & dining room (wall), kitchen (walls), Bathroom (walls), Bedrooms (just a bit), problem was loads of it was raised well off the surface, so it would be difficult as hell, to overskim, and costly (with little add-on value to the house). A few other things not quite right boiler 2003 install, kitchen bit dated (probably spruce up would have been ok, general sloppy worksmanship, which I personally detest, but in short it is best to walk away, as I could immediately see the long term cost (including time) vs benefit of the works.0 -

6 first time buyer properties sold by me from the end of january till this week, i think they must be listening to pandaomonia's advice just hope your not looking to buy here pandamonia.

Looking at repo on monday, priced at £110k, although sold for £143k early 2008, have it on reasonable authority from the agents, bank will accept just over the £100k mark, rental income around £1000 PM as single rooms, or £600PM as whole house. Some minor works and updating required but sounds a prospect.0
