PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

If you check your street on Globrix sold prices, the £80k prices were in 2007 and early 2008, the market has dropped a lot since then. The most recent sales in your street were in the £60,000 to £65,000 range, which is the going rate for comparable homes to yours in Co. Durham. Prices have dropped substantially, especially in the Bishop Auckland area as the town itself has declined.
You may have to wait for the market to pick up to re-coup your expenditure.
You have a lovely home and I agree with most of the advice given to you above.My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead

The 60 to 65k houses were both completely derelict and without a downstairs extension (what our kitchen is basically). I agree about the fencing situation, need to investigate what the costs are going to be.0
