TBH I don`t really care, if you can sell your house to someone for 300k I am genuinely happy for you (for them not so much, LOL) I don`t think it is worth anything like that amount though.

We lived in Frewen Road in Cawston, we had David Smylie from Picklescitt Homes sell our house for us on first viewing. I would highly recommend his expertise x1

Pre - Covid that might have been doable, but different story now?0

Caring and being interested are two different things, knowing how much the OP has been offered for the house is a good indicator on the general economy, sentiment and where banks are on lending, and those are interesting and important things IMO.0

The north facing garden would be a deal-breaker for me. Sorry, as there's obviously nothing you can do about that, but it might have been the deal-breaker for at least some of your viewers.
Now you have included the boundary plan, which makes that clear, you might weed out people like me though. Without the plan I would probably view the house to check.2 -

It is a bit of a weird shape and seem very squashed. It is a nice house still but not for that amount.
The usual Crashy BS, house prices were only just starting to recover in 2012. A year or three after that they took off.More than it cost in 2012. Hopefully the OP will be round to tell us at some point soon.Its hard to generalise areas, but round here (central SE) prices are probably 40-50% above 2012.
I'm talking selling prices. .... "LOL"Sure, look at Reading. Look at RG41 if you want to get close to my area. Thats where I've bought and sold since 2007.Bought at 200 sold at 250 in 2014 (after an estimated low of 150 around 2010) by 2018 houses in same road were going for 300 they are now around 300k. House prices here have been flat the last couple years.So, that house I sold at 250 in 2014 would have been maybe 200 in 2012 (eg back to where i bought it 5 years previously to that)
and then in 2015 you were saying the same thing about sales in 2016
and and and and
This year it’s different though I guess.0
