PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Purchased July 2013 - FTB
1960s, 3 bed, semi detached - North-West/Greater Manchester area.
Asking price £122,250 - we offered and paid £122.50 as we just absolutely fell in love with the house!
After moving in it transpired that the detached garage was neither use nor ornament :mad: The plan is to eventually (when I say eventually, I mean way, way, WAY down the line!) to knock down the garage and have a new one built onto the side of the house...
Other than that, most of the work was pretty much cosmetic; new carpets, painting/glossing, new fitted wardrobes etc.
It's been hard work but totally worth it. I love seeing the transformation. I've even taken before and after pictures... :rotfl:0
