Perhaps it was bought as a wreck in 2002 and refurbished and re sold?sourpuss2021 said:
I was also thinking 2002 to 2003 looks like someone flipped it very profitably.ProDave said:
It's for sale by auction that is the starting price. It will most likely sell for more than that. The vendor obviously hoping it will sell for at least its last sale price.sourpuss2021 said:Not sure how exactly I found myself looking at this listing but, also, really don't understand the current sale price and property sale history:
But then 2003 to 2021 the price was totally stagnant!
Don't forget there was a price crash in 2008 and many many places have not even got back to the pre 2008 price yet, so virtually flat growth for that period in some places is not unusual.3 -

That general area used to be a coal mining area and there have been problems with subsidence/heave in some streets nearby. No idea if this property has any issues, but auction properties do usually have some problems. There was a property in Boatman Drive that I linked to earlier in this thread which was advertised in an auction for £59,000 (4 bed detached new build), but was sold for around £150,000 and did have a subsidence issue.1 -
Be interesting to see what it sells for…I oppose genocide. I support freedom of speech. I support freedom of assembly.0

I quite agree. I think it's the greyest house I've ever had the misfortune to see. It's like the house equivalent of the Spitting Image John Major puppet.

What a cheerless place. The lounge is like a prison socialisation space. Woefully inadequate width to house bathroom.1
