. Just annoys me at work when there's a 2 bed shoebox that the developer insists is a "modern mews house". It's not. It actually embarrasses me to hand details out for these. Not that I can say anything though!
It was lovely
I think that some developers should really be disgusted in what they are developing these days... I have seen some ridiculously small shoe boxes that aren't big enough for a cat to live in (but being sold as two bedroom houses): sad thing is that people actually buy them...

You're right there QT...its all down to how much money they can make in such a small space of land.....nothing to do with standard of living for human beingsIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
Agreed! There's a huge estate of them near me, I honestly don't know why anyone would buy them. Unfortunately I'm paid to sell them!Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0

Depends on the developer really, they try to go more with buyer incentives round here, like carpets or legal fees paid. Normally people knock 30% off for their first offer, I would say that most get agreed around 20% under asking price but it does vary!Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0

I've always thought it was converted stables, mostly in London. There would have been a big house, with servants and horses/stables out the back.
Over the years the big house was split up and the stables converted to houses... so I wiki'd it:

I thought that they should have a garage on the ground floor - like the carriage houses below living quarters in the "proper" mews.I refuse to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent:rolleyes:0

Does anyone know what quasi- semi detached or quasi detached means?
I've seen it on a few recently.Illegitimi non carborundum.0 -
Quasi semi is where it is the end house in a row of 3 or more. Quasi detached-not seen this one but I would assume it is like a link detached, where the houses are linked by a garage.Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.0
