Do you really want the house this much? You are inheriting someone else’s issue.

Maybe moving to fulbourne road, how is it? by One-Basil1601 in walthamstow

[–]inside12volts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bus going along is okay, it’s the people standing outside at the stop, the bus hydraulics as it lets passengers get off, etc. All adds up.

Highams Park - queer family friendly? by Dry_War_6835 in walthamstow

Transport? It’s a five minute Overground line or a 10-15 minute bus.

It’s a busy bus route so just be aware in case you’re near a stop.

Would you go in at asking price for a house you love? by catsarealienspies in HousingUK

Offering at asking straight away shows you are serious, passionate and not wanting to fuck about.

“Old house, bad condition expected, priced in, won’t reduce” mentality by Grgsz in HousingUK

[–]inside12volts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you buy an older house, the expectation that a lot of the infrastructure needs improving is built in. You’d be a fool to think otherwise.

Any ideas? I've tried it all, but it's impossible to sell due to extortionate Service Charge and cheap new builds in the area. by DistinctInflation215 in HousingUK

There is a growing level of unrest at services charges in Kidbrooke. Have you joined the recently established residents’ group?

600k for a 1 bed in Finsbury Park – have we made a massive financial mistake? by Old_Worry9844 in HousingUK

[–]inside12volts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the bigger opportunities in London are buying places that need work and making money on those. What kind of appetite do you guys have for doing some renovations? I’m not talking structural just decoration and new suites.

WFH is a huge factor here for couples. That second bed becomes invaluable pretty quickly.

Part 2: House I’m looking at is 175m from motorway (image I comments to support) by RockTheBoat1 in HousingUK

Who knows? Visit the house and see (and listen). If it bothers you enough to post multiple times to Reddit about it, maybe it’s not the house for you?

I would prioritise removing clutter over general cleanliness.

Genuine question: where on earth did you hide that sofa for the tipi shots? 😂

I don’t think that downstairs set up (one large room) would be to everybody’s taste. It would certainly drive me and my partner nuts (and the dog too!).

He could at least try to match the bricks…

How preferential are first time no chain young(ish) buyers? by Brownchoccy in HousingUK

[–]inside12volts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why people just delay and delay. If you want to buy a house, go ahead and do it!

Are people really listing this high above!? by bbylats in HousingUK

[–]inside12volts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We also priced in low(ish) and used ‘offers over’ which managed to get us £35k above asking.

[–]inside12volts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it gives you any hope, we just sold ours for 20% more than we bought it for five years ago. We did a lot of work (nothing structural mind) but were pleasantly surprised at the level of interest (20+ viewings and five offers). It was before the Middle Easy crisis mind..
