Don't do anything for me at all, for me the kitchen needs to be separate.

First link, from the picture of the kitchen you have no preparation area.

Second link, sit down, chill out and stare at the kitchen and this is classed as luxury :eek:

Wow...what do you want...a prize?

No, an explanation.

You asked a question. I gave you a straight answer. Your response to that was sarcasm. Why?

Then you'll be surprised by most new/recent builds


go on RM and look at 2 bed flats and 90% of the newer ones will have no separate kitchen

it is not just flats the trend to open plan kitchen/dining/family rooms has been going on for years

Just that bigger places can also benefit from another room or two

picking a new development of houses(google and picked one) many of the 2/3bed houses are open plan

Crashy is actually even less successful at property price forecasting than it seems: he sold to rent in 1996.

That means that he needs prices to fall by about 130% to break even on the cost of 20 years renting a 1-room bedsit. Yes, 130%: property needs to be cheaper than free, i.e. he needs to be given the property for nothing and another 30% of its present value in cash as well.

I have no idea what it's like to be exactly wrong about something for 20 years.

I haven't read all the posts but this flat has been posted on mse before and gained similar comments.

The flat was listed on Rightmove 29th Feb 2016, that is 11 months ago not "about 8 months" as stated by the op.

his prize will be his comfortable retirement, whereas Crashy will be moaning about private LL and how Crashy has been robbed by them as the rent Crashy pays goes into enabling those wise property owners to enjoy their retirement.

so sad, thank heavens for the social security heh Crashy?

Stop being silly.

There is a thread on the discussion forum about houses in Scotland taking YEARS to sell, a quick 20-30k drop here will get it sold. Only rising rates it seems will get people to see the light on pricing?

Rent is just a cost though, and cheap rent isn`t much of a cost




My lifetime rent will be a days price reduction when this crash gets rollin` :T

But it never, never, never will - the kind of apocalyptic crash and reversion of prices to 3-5 times salary just ain't ever going to happen; and the days when that were the case have faded into history, along with all the other certainties of those times: cradle to grave NHS care, student grants, full employment and a job for life, non-contributory final salary pension schemes, Britannia ruling the waves, pounds, shillings and pence, long shadows on cricket grounds, warm beer, invincible green suburbs...

"It's a bubble!" people say "it can't last!" - but by and large it has: sure, the rate of growth may fluctuate, but significantly decrease it will not. The golden age which you wish to return, departed with John Major's government.

Don`t give up the day job, stand up comedy isn`t going to work for you. The bubble hasn`t "lasted" it has been propped up at great political expense (to the elites) and financial expense to the younger generations. Also volumes have slipped and many people are stuck because they can`t find a buyer. Don`t kid yourself, the QE/ZIRP mode is no longer working (for the elites, or anyone else) and they are going to turn the ship around, those carrying the biggest debts will be hurt the most.
