Wonderful!! I do love a smutty address and they don't get much smuttier than that!

If only it was in Penistone.

Has been on Rightmove for over a year. (I just learned about Property Log on here.) During that time the price has dropped steadily from £270,000 to £190,000. At the current price it should be a reasonable bargain, but then I see ... 'modern method of auction'.

EDIT: What is this thing for sale?

It appears that the roads on a residential area are being sold. I assume that they are private. This is well outside my knowledge, but I guess that someone buying the roads would become responsible for maintenance for the roads, and would charge the residents for use of the roads. Making themselves incredibly unpopular when they try to maximise profit by raising the charges. Maybe. I don't know. I'm glad I don't live there.

"Auctioneers Note

The property is sold subject to an overage clause, which will be triggered if more than one dwelling is built on site. Redlands benefits from covenants that restrict building on neighbouring land to the north and south- see legal pack"

.What is an overage clause?

An overage clause (often called a ‘clawback’) might be included in a commercial property or land sale to give the seller the right to receive further funds after the sale has completed. The land may significantly increase in value after a “trigger event” happens. The most common trigger event is the grant of planning permission but it can be . The overage clause would ensure the seller receives additional payment even though they no longer owner the land.

What are the trigger events?

A trigger event could be the granting of planning consent, or when a new development or use is implemented or completed. There are often problems when clarifying which events will trigger the need for an overage payment so it’s best to seek the advice of a solicitor from the outset.

Cute cat in an otherwise painfully bland greyscale house. What amused me is that all the pictures are just called the file name (eg DSC_1000_JPG) except that one, which is poetically titled "cat blur".

That is sooo painfully gray!  And almost like they chose the cat to match their colour aesthetic.

Some nice details in the architecture but mostly horrible decor. Not to mention the hopefully photoshopped stoves with nicely flammable baskets on top

Yes, there' a lovely house underneath the awful décor and weird choices made updating the house. . I do like the original bath  and green tiles.
 (and the writing style of the agents makes my eyes bleed, and the photos are just ... bad - no real feel for the house and there don't seem to be photos of all of the rooms - no picture of the study / boot room, for instnace)
