    He could comfort himself by thinking about what he could have bought with that 28k.
    SH Porsche would have been my choice.

    Must be the shortest street in the country if both end terraces are next door to each other.

    You haven't really thought that through, have you?

    I would have thought it was a semi detached.

    Or they could be the ends of two adjacent terraces.

    We paid 23k less for ours last year as the one next to us (identical) sold a month later. We researched the area and house prices and knew what the house was worth paying for and next door didn't do his homework, simple. 3 months later one a few doors down the street only paid 4k more than us, i reckon they did their homework too. As everyone has said you need to move on and forget about it.

    >is there a logical explanation to this<

    Could be an executor selling quickly, could be no-chain buyers offer cash on the day, could be the buyers leant on their surveyor to find loads of faults...

    If it wasn't visually up for sale maybe they sold it to one of the quick buy cowboys because they were dessperate to move. Or Maybe your fella's a mug and next door are more sensible, i dunno, what a strange thread!!! It was 3 years ago, why are you harping on about it now?
    I sold a beetle for £4000 four years ago and a similar beetle sold two weeks later for £300 less, discuss.
