Genuinely still not clear in which way I've been stuck up. Was it when I called an awful house on an awful street in an awful bit of awful Oldham a 'sh*thole'?

On the hard working thing, how do you feel about people who don't work very hard, spend a lot of their day surfing the net, but earn a great deal of money. My friend Gav fits this bill. He's a nice chap though.

You really need to go back and read your posts in every thread you post in, things will become clearer then.

Im made up for gav.

Do you know something I don't about Gav? I wouldn't worry, his missus is a senior consultant at one of the big four earning enough to make our noses bleed, so I think they'll be okay.

It's just a phrase. But I did actually spill a few drops when I found out.

Here's one of the 22 houses:

A sh*thole in Oldham on for £49k. If you look up the street on house prices you could buy houses down that street for £10,000 in 2001, one sold for £50,000 in 2004, then the highest price was £76,000 in 2007.

£49k still seems massively high to me.

To be fair, I don't know the location and didn't look up the rest of the street, but the house doesn't look that bad.

I've seen a lot worse.

It'll be interesting though to see how much better a property Jimmy31 can get in 6 months for the same money.

I keep hearing property is over-priced on this board?and then someone posts that little gem.
Perhaps its more peoples expectations of what they should be buying are over egged?

I live in Oldham and wouldn't buy said linked house.

I guess the ones I am looking at are in the nicer areas and are £95k-£125k.

On the flip side even the houses I am looking at many on here would look down at, but one advantage of growing up in a scummy area is I know which parts of said area to live in (or not to live in).
