    Lot 134 looks interesting. Manchester city centre flat being sold by HBOS. Looks like a repo.

    Another one, lot 183 in the same block.

    It'll be the first of many many I'm sure.

    That area of Ancoats is so packed with flats.

    Ooh thank you, I forgot about this. Am interested in 148 as that is the sort of place my boyfriend and I will be buying in a few years.

    Well lot 148 had a guide price of 85-110 and went UNSOLD for 88k. 2-beds here start at around 120k.

    Edit: Was last sold for 113k in 2004.

    Lot 78a went unsold - final bid was £49.5k, available at £50k!

    If that was a genuine £49.5k bid, then it was from someone who's never been within 100 miles of colne. And hasn't read the catalogue entry, let alone the legal pack.

    Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.

    Halved in value in 3 years. That's scary.

    Dates are the same, looks like both flats were bought by the same "investor."
