even sold prices are slightly erroneous--the last 2 properties in my block have both been exors sales and done in such away that has undervalued them--the families werent local and obviously didnt care--but it makes the rest of the block 'suffer'!( the block next door which is inferior has seen properties sell for more)
Sold prices in that case aren't remotely "erroneous", they are the prices the flat actually sold for....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Yep and the block has been devalued by that---the block next door is almost identical but is leasehold not freehold(self managed) as mine is-we have private garages and they have underground-floor layouts etc are the same but theirs go for about 5 to 10 pc more -there is a generation of older people dying out in the block who bought when they were new and the exors sales are 'dubious'!-but when relatives have no local knowledge it is what happensmfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.0
