Still astonished at just how little you get for your money in London £350K for that maisonette? :eek: That would cost about £40K round our way...but getting a job would be a lot harder

It's an almost identical layout to the one I lived in as a child in London, before my parents saw the light (or The Bomb!) and moved to a rambling, Queen Anne wreck in Devon.

That's the London with the fantastic lifestyle that still draws people magnetically.

The wreck, now two quite smart properties, last sold in its entirety for £300k, in or around 2015.

Over here, you can buy the whole building (very similar size & layout) for £250K and get a large garden complete with air raid shelter.

One for those that like to be horrified at London prices - here's what 3/4 of a million will get you. At least the estate agent has the good grace to say it does need refurbishment :rotfl:

people in London must have more money than sense to buy this. Can imagine this appearing on a rouge landlords program in the future. This flat is more than the cost of 8 of my bungalow. Both 2 bedrooms both have own garden.

It is bonkers. We have a large 3 bed semi in a very nice, quiet area. If we were to sell up and move to London we might, if we're lucky, be able to afford a pokey 1 bed flat in a crime riddden hellhole.

The other way of looking at it is that outside London a pokey 1 bed flat in a crime ridden hellhole is only £30k :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

All going well for the first few photos. Lucky Doug to have his own set of doors into the garden. A few concerns raised by the 2nd dining room in picture 9 (which should really be set for 13).


Bedroom picture 12?? Is the effective contraceptive statue available to the buyer by separate negotiation?

Sort out the decor, and that could be a really nice house. However, I'd get rid of the door between the downstairs cloakroom and the sitting room, just leaving access from the hall, and I'd convert bedroom 5 into a dressing room/en-suite. When I win the lottery....

It'll be lovely, once it's been deconsecrated. I'm not sure how you get into Bedroom 5 at the moment. Either you have to float on clouds of incense, or there's a bit of landing missing from the floorplan.
