PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I bet they aren't cheap.tooldle said:
Or, are the houses built to a price point that allows them to sell. Supply of materials has been difficult of late and some materials have experienced significant price rises. Definitely ugly. Boxy houses do not appeal to me.robatwork said:Yep just a google quirk with that image. These houses really are as ugly and window-shy as they appear. Worse than this is the stultifying lack of imagination of our house builders. They are all identikit. Is this REALLY what the market is demanding, or just what lazy, unimaginative, reactionary, old-fashioned house builders think we want, or can throw up with little care and no effort when it comes to planning permission. As culpable are the councils who let these soulless boring housing estates proliferate.
Rant temporarily halted but will continue later no doubt.
It's a pretty dire situation when people can't afford windows. Or more likely the builders are just taking advantage.2 -

I didn’t hear it in the Budget, but it might have been slipped in between reducing childcare ratios and the proposed expansion of “free” childcare. Presumably you don’t need so many staff if there’s no windows for the kids to climb/look out of!ProDave said:Has a new window tax been imposed?2 -
It's annoying me that the bannister is different - solid going up the stairs and spindles on the landing!
Also - "relax" sign on the toilet?!

I agree. The WC is the one place you do 'do it'.SadieO said:It's annoying me that the bannister is different - solid going up the stairs and spindles on the landing!
