...and its on a nasty rough estate hence the AP, although it strangely appears to have risen in price recently! Maybe 18 months on the market isn't enough for the vendor.

you can always tell a rough area when the windows get higher and smaller

Clothes around, food out in the kitchen, curtains hanging off the rails - and for over £600k for a 3 bed house!

It's one of the hazards of trying to sell a house that's tenanted? They probably keep it immaculate the rest of the time...

One small point : the ones that look ugliest from the outside mostly seem to look really good inside. Just remind me, do most people spend most of their time looking at the outside or the inside?

But they're all very welll looked after, i have to say.

We looked into New Ash Green, but decided we couldn't afford the resident association fees for upkeep of the communal areas of the village.

It's a place with an interesting history where private gardens are sacrificed for public spaces. Despite its ugliness it is one of the few housing experiments from the 1960s that actually works, probably due to the type of person who lives there. But transplant it to any inner city...

Like having a pleasent looking neighbourhood, I would much rather look at houses that are visually appealing.

Ha ha, looks like Ant or Dec, whichever one has the massive forehead.
£435K for a sh!tbox, Jeez, you soppy Southeners have got it rough. Still, it can't be as grim as anything "Up North" eh?

Yep, but how much extra would you pay for that? 10%, 20%, 50%?

I had no idea there was a residents charge thingy for NAG, worth remembering when i eventually move. I prefer Meopham, but somewhat priced out of the market there!
