I had thought of that. Hope someone wants a square meter of pale blue tiles




Edit: No sooner do I say they have gone walk about and they turn up from Unit 16 - yay, faith in humanity restored.

We had a tracked delivery left woth us last week, which was addressed elsewhere. I went to deliver it the following day but they were out and there was no where to leave it. I managed to deliver it two days later. They live about a mile away. They were very grumpy that I had not got it to them sooner and regailed me with tales of their efforts to find it, pursuing the post office and the supplier. I was a tad miffed at their attitude to me and felt very sorry for the postman/supplier. I half wished I had just put it back in the post.
ps . pretty colour tiles

Edit: There are no detached houses worth having in St Albans for less than £1m (possibly £1.5m) tbh....

According to that article, the average detached house in St Albans is £675k, so your definition of "worth having" is way more than the average person!

That sounds painful - no idea how you manage to right something that weighs that much either.

Leverage.

And the help of a passing stranger the second time....:o

You let strangers up your back passage?

No wonder you can afford single malts

Cheapest detached for sale I can see is 800k and none of the ones under 1 mill would make much of a family home in a good road

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=POSTCODE%5E11112&maxPrice=1000000&displayPropertyType=houses&oldDisplayPropertyType=houses&numberOfPropertiesPerPage=50&radius=1.0&includeSSTC=true&_includeSSTC=on&googleAnalyticsChannel=buying

And I know round your way prices are a fair bit higher.

You had funny limiters on that search.

That is all detached houses with the same post code restriction you had. Don't know the roads, but there is a 5 bed detached for £575k

Putting my village "only" in the search and your right, prices have become stupid. Or should I say even more stupid.

These are subjective, family home -and- good road.

Instead, look for "the 2nd cheapest house within the defined area", ignoring anything odd such as auctions, mobile homes, retirement flats and SO.

To be measurable you have to come up with a set of items others can check/compare with .... not what you think's a nice house/road

Compare "the absolute bottom of the market for type XYZ"
