OH MY, The Most Stunning Beautiful Property

"" With your attitude, I'm guessing you're a leaseholder. And you probably own a lot of property. You're one of these greedy landlords who digs into poor people's pockets, owning half of London, just because you can and you want more and more money. If only people would be happy to have just enough. I've seen it many times and I know your type"

NOW who is making assumptions ......

i was going to offer some more suggestions here - but i aint gonna waste my time on someone who is a FTB, who is apparently far more knowledgeable than many seasoned long-term property professionals who have been posting here for a long time to help others and in any case why would i want to assist someone who is angry and arrogant.


IF YOU DONT WANT LEASEHOLD - go find a freehold house and give us all a break .......

Thanks for shouting at me. Yes it is possible to market without all the documents but as you need to order a HIP before you commence marketing, it's likely that at some point during marketing the HIP will be complete. My HIP was complete within a couple of weeks of commencing marketing.

I wear a nice shiny gold rolex submariner too. And it's a freehold rolex.

I'd delighted to hear that but moving away from the consumer durables and onto your delight in the suffering of others - and don't get me wrong, I'm not judging you, I'm a very live-and-let-live sort of person- there are lots of messageboard on the interweb where your carry on wouldn't just be tolerated, it would be positively welcomed and I'd be more than happy to email you a few URLs. However, I think that keeping your sadism out of this more general viewing sort of messageboard place would be polite, as far as I know no one has consented and there could be children watching.

Go get a shave sweetheart.

If this guy is so smart then he doesn't need the advice in anycase. Same thing applies to our friend who gave away their 4rse with the missives then blamed the bloody government. This charley here hasn't suffered yet, but he will if he keeps the attitude up.

it has private gated entrance, separate detached garage and workshop, that we would convert into a separate one bedroom detached flat and rent it out to increase our income.

All Leaseholds are immoral and should be abolished.

I've sat here surprised nobody picked up on this before.

Especially after the outburst at others who rent out property.

And these "all leaseholds are immoral..." - does that include the short leasehold on that rented conversion you were planning?

Right.

As you all were.

Why would anyone want to lease a property and pay the same amount that you would to own a freehold.

I have to say I agree. Given the choice of freehold & leashold both of similar amounts, I'd go for freehold every time....

I doubt it would get planning permission.

So would I, but he ain't going to get much for his money and he is extremely discerning about these things.

He hasn't realised yet that he would need the permission of the freeholder and of course require planning permission to convert the garage - oh dear, all these capitalist rules.

Personally I would be very very wary about buying anything right above a shop as you have no idea what will be there in the future. The worst case I heard was of a woman who bought a flat over a lovely chilled out little cafe that promptly closed and turned into an open fronted fish mongers. The flat was effectively uninhabitable due to the smell.

An Indian restaurant or a Kebab shop will also guarantee your clothes become impregnated by some interesting aromas. You cant even get students to rent it then.

As a student many years ago, living above a kebab shop would have been a dream come true!!
