    Like Godwin's Law, I was wondering when that would make an appearance...:rotfl:


    I wouldn't mention the subject of Godwin's law here - that's doing perfectly well over in DT, thanks to Red Ken ;)

    Hmmm that is interesting, yes i know of the development which tbh i find extreme as that area is constantly choked with traffic now let alone with all these additional builds, but hey ho progress is progress i suppose lol

    I deleted my post as I wasn't quite sure which line they were referring to as there are several on the development.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    No. I would not consider the property. It's not just near overhead wires it's right under them.

    The asking price is also unrealistic. To ask £100,000 more than it sold for in 2011 is unbelievable.

    I'm out.

    When I saw it I thought the price reflected the power lines and wondered where it was - Suffolk maybe?

    Then I saw it was on the outskirts of Middlesbrough. You're right - way over-priced.

    Irrespective of the power lines those EA photos are the worst I have ever seen. The lights are on in every room and still they all look dark. Absolutely shocking.

    It wouldn't bother me, you do get a very slight buzzing on a damp day.

    I would be more put off by how dark all of the rooms seem to be.

    That last picture looks like you could reach up and touch them.

    I wouldn't want my kids in that garden with a football.

    Not for me but mainly because it seems so dark and with lights on I hate to think of the cost.
