Can a grand staircase sell a house?

wecanhelpu

I don't think so.

This place must surely be a contender for the most overpriced sh1thole award.

What do you think?

you're right - it is an absolute sh*thol*. unbelievable - a one-bedroom property for the £535k. something is amiss in this economy of ours! and no, the staircase ain't 'grand' as far as I'm concerned.

I actually cant believe that price.

In all my years of perusing sites like that, I have never seen a more overpriced pile of bricks in all my days.

That is so far wrong. It's not even a grand staircase. It looks like any other wrought iron staircase.

A good rule, when selling a house would also be to take a decent photo. Especially if you want over half a million and another £20,000 for HMRC.

Bahhh fiddlesticks :rolleyes:

This property is clearly overpriced and doesn't indicate anything about the market. First-time-buyers just need to look harder that's all and put some bloody effort in.

Below is a great opportunity for starting on the ladder. A snip at 120K, easily affordable for a young couple. If they cut down on the all Ipods they buy every single week, they'll have it up to scratch in no time and likely double their money :T

I just dont know what you are talking about, that place looks like a snip at that price, period staircase, bracket on the wall outside from when it was a pub, reclaimed timber (pallets) bookcase crammed into a corner of the basement doubling up as a study (or is that what you have to to to get into the study, double up).

Oooh oooh its got a flagstone floor too.

Hells bell what more would you want with this place, pah to you ponces who say maybe more than 1 bedroom, fooey to you fools who say maybe off road parking, garage and jooey to the jerks who would want it at a price less than 28 times local average earnings.

I dont know, you lot, you just want it all............

20 times? Unless you work in London, there's no way average Brighton salary is £27k.

I think they are just greedy/deluded, looking at the site, it's a private sale, so they've picked the number out of thin air.

you could get a stair case like that for about £2k from a salvage yard.


frankly for over half a million interest only at 6% your talking about £32,100 a year rent to the bank, im betting even in london that would get you a nice hotel room for a year at longstay rates.
