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.

My bosses house in Bolton has gone up 60k (at the lowest valuation he's just received) in the 2 years since he bought it, so I wouldn't discount such a huge price hike although it does sound a bit much for 9 months. The ones round us have gone up about 30k in two years. I have no idea what the others around your area are going for though as this would give a better idea of whether it's extortionate compared to the current market. Have you had a look around the inside? That too would help with whether it's worth the money or not.
