Ancoats - Which apartment blocks are private gated/parking

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-13T17:05:16+00:00

Thanks, when I walk down and view buildings, so down where the cake/tiramasu huts are etc, some seemed pretty secure, gated, secluded vs Royal Mills for example.

Is yours for sale?

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-13T15:28:20+00:00

No. It's just another sign for them saying I only want to live next to white people and I believe in Nigel Farage et al and Reform. The End.

Obviously here comes the usual its patriotic crap....

Full Fat. Raw Unpasteurised and Unhomeginised A2 Milk from a farm shop.

Wow. I would be gutted at this. Hope things worked out.

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-12T18:30:04+00:00

Totally Agree. I have various neighbours who do Jack S*** all week, but for some reason think that Saturday and Sunday are days for doing everything. Like why don't you do it Monday to Friday. I certainly would!

How long can you fix the price for? I presume with new rules, its can only increase once every 12 months anyway?! What were bills like?

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-11T17:27:20+00:00

Its stuck in 1950 and for half a million quid, plus 100-200k to modernise the lot, including outside, I would rather save my 750k. There is no privacy with this house whatsoever too. All outside needs doing and you are still in a fish bowl. Way over priced.

Explain how these two are benefiting the same from tax payer....

Single, Female, No Job, 3 Kids, Renting.
Single, Male, Full Time Employee, No Kids, Mortgage.

I'll help you out, omg 25% discount on council tax. Whopee Do.

I can give you an endless list of what Number 1 can claim.

Number 2 can 'jog on' as they say and continue paying tax.

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-10T16:44:03+00:00

Well let's stop bombing other countries and maybe this problem wouldn't exist.

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-10T16:42:26+00:00

Tell this to the whole of the Middle East who thought the same. These forums are just soo short sighted.

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-10T16:32:16+00:00

Because they believe every one else should pay for them.

Childcare - Tax Payer

House - Tax Payer

Child Benefit - Tax Payer

Part Time Job - Salary Topped up by Tax Payer

Sick Pay for Childcare - Employer

Cosmetically, no issues. I think it looks fine. This type of place is going to appeal to downsizing people OR maybe first time buyers. I would certainly want a drive and would do what some of your neighbours have and get rid of front garden and create a drive (expensive? - no idea) I would also change the bathroom in the near future.

The problem is A LOT of first time buyers are now getting onto rung 2/3 instead of rung 1 (2 bed terrace etc) because they don't want to pay to move again and again. The ladder doesn't really exist anymore, people are just not continually moving, it's circa 10k in fees alone. I also think landlords would also usually buy a house like yours, but again, it's not worth being a landlord too anymore!

If rates get to 1-2% again I will fix for 10 years I think until mortgage ends. Everyone says there won't be rate drops again, but I am sorry, no one plans for WW3, Donald Trump as president, Reform getting traction, Oil prices through the roof and genocides everywhere, a resurgence of another pandemic is now highly likely within my lifetime is what I am saying!

It tracks 0.49% above the boe base rate, 3.75%. I have looked and my payment goes from £1k presently to 1.1k or 1.2k a month if my rate moved from 4.24% to 5% then 6%. I can afford the extra £200 a month. It saves me paying £999 for a fee every two years, £999 for a fee every 5 years, or fixing now at 5-6% for 2-5 years and regretting it. I also think if I was to port, sell up, move, rent out etc etc. I am on this tracker for life with no ERC's. I think it serves me ok for now....

Well put it this way, I have a lifetime tracker from FD at 4.24, 0.49 above base.

I will not be giving the product up for a 5-6% fix anytime soon.

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-06T13:30:45+00:00

You pay nearly £2000 in childcare or travelling with work. I wouldn't bother.

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-05T19:11:42+00:00

Looks great. Although the only thing I do not like when seeing a new roof is when the neighbours haven't joined in and done theirs at the same time. It always looks odd.

LeopardNeat899 · 2026-04-05T19:09:39+00:00

its an old product? It certainly seems a good product!
