    Best wishes in your new home.

    I guess you decided not to go to auction then?

    Nice wheelie bins and back garden! Why did they use those photos?

    You'll have to show us some pics once you've been at it with a hammer.

    :)

    GG

    As it happens we found out a friend offer £185 on it a year ago ans some other friend of frien was waiting for the auction so we decided to got for it

    a rightmove serch on 4 bed detached in a mile radius shows up the next one at £230 grand so its actually worth it and apparently theres fish in the river at the back too :)

    I dont like fishing I just fancy hitting them with sticks :)

    ay oop Nelly - t'int what you've got it's what you do with it (as any woman could tell you).

    Happy new hearth and home to you. May it be a haven of rest, a port in a storm, a sanctuary from the harsh world outside, somewhere to get plastered in safety, and keep you out of mischief for the next several decades. ;)

    Isn't that a bit pot and kettle? Coming from someone in West Sussex where a piece of land 6' 9" x 6' 9" would probably cost £170,000.

    In West Sussex we wouldn't pay such a cheap, common price of £170,000 for that piece of land. We'd up it to 200k at least!

    Strange sized bedrooms!! Is this because it was a 3 bed now converted into a 4 bed?

    Or is Bedroom Four, 6'9 x 6'9, specially built for Cloth cap n' Whippet?

    Ye olde english!

    One of my in-laws defines a Jew as someone who can buy from the Scots, sell in Yorkshire, and turn a good profit. You have to be Jewish to make the joke, though (-:
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I can't believe how many @ssholes post on this board. Does property do something to people that makes them turn into protentious obnoxious !!!!!!? :confused:


    Nelly, made up for you mate. Whats the plastering like? :D

    And I can teach you how to fish. Might be able to winkle out a trout or two for supper! :beer:
  • Try this and good luck.
