No but close.

Presumably, some nutters got into a bidding war. At least one of them has been very lucky.;)

I don`t know about nutters but my sister is very happy.

Which you are obviously not.

Oh no, I'm more than content, thanks. We refused to enter a bidding war on this place and, later, our buyer resisted a gazump attempt backed by the agent, so why should I be unhappy? Maybe the one under offer that another agent wouldn't let us view? Perhaps. It was £100k more though.....

If that place posted by Cannon Fodder is 'close,' then I've even more reason to be pleased, but value is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? I'm sure your sister's place is lovely.

Is this somewhere in England? I thought it was really expensive considering the size of the place, very nice though.

yes - it's in the south east - not very far from Windsor. It's nice but expensive.

This one isolated incident that we only have your word for is proof enough for me that the entire housing market in the UK is booming again. First thing Tuesday morning I am going to borrow £150k to buy a !!!! house in a !!!! area before I miss the boat again.

Only one! Come on, you need at least 3 or 4 to kick off your btl portfolio, oh and btw, do it first thing because by lunch time property will be up by at least 25%!

Its also close to the M25, M3 and Heathrow, I'm sure motorway and airplane noise is not worth half a million to me...

I guess the current 50mph limit for the roadworks on the M3 has boosted the price...

I remember going there as a kid, very nice, how did it get its name? the name has always stuck with me.
