Did that 61k get a nice not converted place or was it equally shabby as this one is? If it wasn't equally bad maybe suggest to this friend that they continue saving!Those who risk nothing, Do nothing, achieve nothing, become nothingMFW #63 £0/£5000 -

It had one photo of it, so I'll let you decide if it was nice!
Seriously, I had a house in a street like this and my cousin lived in it. There were drug raids, the neighbours would have food fights in the street, someone threw orange paint over another's house, one person fire bombed another's house and there were often cars coming to collect people for the Jeremy Kyle show. No lie, yet it was always quiet when I was there.
I sold it after 10 years for less than I paid for it. We did spend money on it and it was a palace compared to the rest of the locality. I felt like I did my best to help someone out but these places are no bargain - they are too cheap to improve and there's no aspiration around you. The real neighbours are landlords and they don't don't care.
If you can raise the money to buy a house, you can raise enough of a mortgage to buy somewhere that isn't forgotten.
Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I noticed that too. It's not being listed as a bedroom merely a 'loft conversion'.
The description is quite good at calling it a room but not one you'd want to live in!
She doesn't need 3 beds so surely is better using that same budget for a nicer smaller place?
She has said that she is planning on taking in a lodger.
She doesn’t really know areas around Liverpool. There are a couple of us letting her know which are ok or not.0 -
