Only because they are being stalked by some people on here.

I've been on Google Maps (Streetview), trying to find their house in Hither Green.

Found a few very similar, (matching the features as in the BBC video report) but not exact.

Also a quick scan of houseprices.co.uk for their area (houses at around £350K price transaction) and I can't really find anything going back from late 2008 to Spring 2008 - a few at that approximate price range for in wider S13, but they don't match up on Streetview (where you can zoom in and check house-numbers on the road so you know where you are, to tally with houseprices.co.uk data)

Arch above red-door (next-door brown door), simple features, bay windows on both floors. Oh.. and what a dump the area looks like for £350K. \o/

(Point being, if you could find it on streetview, you'd have the steet/road name, and the house number, to then check houseprices.co.uk to find when it last sold and what price it sold for.)

I had to live with my husband whilst we were divorcing and I was buying my own place. Isnt that what most people do?

It's a very awkward situation. One case I was involved in like that, the wife left hubby a note on the kitchen table "car not working. what should I do?" He wrote on it "walk". The wife kept the note and produced it at trial.

What did the judge say? It is hardly damning evidence of wrong-doing or ill-treatment, during any separation whilst living in the same house.

That is fantastic to be honest. I'd be very proud if had got out at the peak for that kind of money, in that area. After any outstanding mortgage debt you might cleared afterwards, if you're renting, you must be loving it.

Maybe stories like this will make people realise that buying a house is a serious financial decision and not something to be done because my boyfriend's mummy said so.

young people are forever being told to "invest" in property or to get on the property ladder, maybe this will help stem that.

I wonder will the BBC ever do a follow up for their 2006 series Would You Buy a House With a Stranger



I can imagine a lot of the people who took part in this show are feeling very bitter right now.

I was not present at the time, but I think it was taken as evidence of the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. I guess these points need to be proved rather than presumed, especially where the couple are still living together.

well i sold because i didn't like living there - it worked out well. but i posted because it seems more that a little bizarre that they paid £350k for a 2 bedder in the same area a year later. i think a large proportion of the fall in value was caused by them hideously overpaying for the house in the first place.

Not evidence of wrong doing or ill treatement. We had to produce receipts for our shopping for a year beforehand to prove that we were only shopping for ourselves, and not each other. Cooking for each other would have meant that the marriage was still working!! (and the arsnic that I was hiding in the lasagne in didnt give the game away:rotfl::rotfl:).
