Here are two previous owners of her farm.
I bet they seldom complained about their circumstances.

Ah!, baby boomers? Did they make a nice little profit?0 -
I quite fancy Liz Jones.
Sorry 'bout that.0 -
Ah!, baby boomers? Did they make a nice little profit?
I am guessing (from the date) that they died before benefitting from serious baby boomer wealth.
Actually, thinking about this, could you run a farm of that size (by growing/rearing and selling the produce) and make enough to service a mortage debt of 1.6 million?....I am taking off 100k discount and 200k deposit.
Tomterm and LIR would know for sure but I guess no way at all esp if it's hay and cabbages.
Combo of holiday let, a nich organic farm then making a luxe product, selling direct to customer. Could that income service 1.6 mill of mortgage?
Maybe a couple, one is a well paid writer, the other runs the farm, holiday let and making the niche product.....could add up then.0 -

Where's the vomiting smiley?It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
If I was the caring sort (which I am not) I would worry about Ms Jones.
She is what, a carefully preserved 50 odd without chick or child. Where does she go from here?
Old age is leering at her from the sidelines and her particular style of writing is already looking a bit tired.
It's not the lack of money that will do for Liz, it's the lack of real friends and any sort of family.
And for that she only has herself to blame.Retail is the only therapy that works0 -

Fab EPC graphs .... I'd want to see much better readings than that before I considered an isolated house on the moors..... I bet it's a draughty, damp, dismal hole in winter.0 -
Oh dear... there goes my life ... except I don't write and don't have the income and don't have her assets.If I was the caring sort (which I am not) I would worry about Ms Jones.

Her birthdate was in the article linked to a few posts back: 5 September 1958, so she's just about to meet 52.0 -
I'd expect a bigger deposit than £200k ... that'd be chicken feed to the sort of person that could consider buying such a house.

I'd expect anybody buying a house for £1.8 million or so to be putting down more like £800k minimum.
A £1million repayment mortgage, over 25 years, at 4.75% (I think that's a bandied about figure for an average at the moment) is:
£3333 interest per month
£1945 principal
======
£5278/month
======
So call it £7k/month including posh bills.
That's a lot of cabbages....0
