Kaboom. Another bull meme obliterated.

Well we all have an idea of what a Georgian house looks like but think of the grim terraces that you see in areas that have been most affected by recession (more post Victorian than Georgian). I can see how they've been badly hit - whether it's the property or area is another question.

I am classed as a bull and I said one of the reasons I purchased a new build was energy efficiency as I saw that as being a major concern for the future.
I thought it was the "bears" that thought older houses were best, built better, bigger, hold up price better etc. ?

PS, my boiler still works and as not cost anything but service costs, the house has not fallen down, no cracks, the roof is still there and all the slates etc.

Is that a "bear" meme obliterated?

Two up Two downs that they are demolishing in Barnsley, would fetch three quarters of a million if they were in Barnes.

The front garden is a bit sparse. City folk dont know what a good property is

In most affluent areas older properties sell for more than their new build counterparts. I suspect the chavs in northern cities are skewing the data.

Yes, older properties like this in the North:

Looks like an old pub/restaurant.

Could be converted to one. I hear that pubs are the sector to be in.

I hope that was sarcasm.
