Housies; The Future; fear

[kingandy]

Bah.

Apparently the woman who owns the house next to samharber's is demanding an exhorbitant price (twice what Sam and Nook, also in the same street, paid - and it's been on the market for a good while now) and will not budge. She is a fool. The fallout from this is that myself and Ms bacony will require somewhere to rest our heads come July. Anyone know any good letting agencies in Notlob? The plan is to move there and rent temporarily while I (a) build up capital and (b) find somewhere to buy... hard to arrange house viewings when you live the far side of Manchester.

In case anyone's interested, the crazy woman is asking £57K. I suspect I could get a mortgage for that on my salary - just about - but I think I'd want something a bit larger for that much. I know, housies are expensive these days, but it seems daft considering what other houses in that street went for.

It is still tempting though, if only somebody would sort out the administration... and give me a big pile of cash.

£57K is about right - ephrael & I are looking, and that's what we're seeing.

whereabouts are you looking though?
I'm just saying that 57k is unreasonable for my street.

looking in Preston, central mainly.

Terraced, 2 bed, reception/lounge, kitchen, store. yard to rear, double glazed, central heating.

57k's about the start point.

Look in the estate agents 'round your way and see what similar properties are going at....

Just had a look on rightmove and there is one on Victoria Grove which is I think near where Sam's old house was on the other side of Chorley Old Road. This seems similar to those on Sam and Nooks street and is 55k.

Victoria Grove is just around the corner from my old house. The houses are much nicer and a bit bigger. Its a fair price for that area.
