That's a repo, surely.

I'd have thought a repo would have gone to auction after all this time


more likely to be a probate sale than a repo

it's in a very nice area though

mOOmOO - it is a repo - so will go for less than asking price

Dean, you should get a palace for 110K in CF41! We're looking in CF64 and the prices are stubbornly high still.

Annpan - Dinas/Sully/Penarth - shockingly overpriced still - I am in CF62 and looking in CF62 CF63 and CF64

All you can do really is try an offer - nothing to lose

I've never seen a repo be on the open market for 5 months without going to auction

that's a very patient lender if it is

If you look at the photo you will see the Repo notice in the window!

Yea i know, its just if i buy now i would get a 3 bed terrace in decent area for £110k, or if i wait 1-2 years i may get a 3 bed semi instead

Or not. But I hope you get what you want. We first bought in 1974 and were gazumpt on a 3 bed terrace. I was heart broken, but 2 weeks later we happened on a 3 bed semi that needed work. The owners liked us and wanted us to have the property which had belonged to their mother. We stretched ourselves to the limit and did the work steadily over quite a few years. Then we sold it and bought a plot of land and built our own house. (I do mean we built it. Me and the hubby put the roof on together one boxing day in 1983) . Now we have a 4 bed individual house that we could never have afforded to buy, but we had to work for it. Up for sale at a very reasonable price!!!!

Hello guys,

Great thread and now I've been introduced to property bee and property snake, I'm going to be hooked on the net for ages!!

I know it's a random question but can anybody shed any light on Chelmsford as a place to live? Currently, I live in East London (zone 3) and my partner and I are desperate to move. Ideally, we don't want a commute which is longer than an hour (chelmsford is about 55 mins commute for me) but maybe there are other areas we haven't thought about?
Unfortunately, we are priced out of most parts of London and I've been out in Chelmsford quite a few times and it seems quite nice/decent, certainly better than where we are now!!

Thanks
Ben
