Who wants to buy my 1 bed maisonette in middleleaze for 100k?

Not me!  :D

Your having a laugh kid, 100k in the road your in is excessive.  Id get you about 85k tops

The return is £450 a month and an investor would go for that

85k??...I paid 90k for it over two years ago...

I make money on houses, 86k

He he....I would love to Ash mate, but mrs wouldn't be happy. She's got an eye on a three bed with her own dressing room  :evil:

Who's the best estate agents to use in swindon then ash?

dont use connells!!!!!!!fucking useless cunts and not the cheapest either.

for your area I would go to taylors in west swindon, they seem to have the area pretty much sewn up.

Just watch the valuation......if you want a quick sale I can talk to investors on a price

Not bothered about how quick tbh, just want as much as possible. I bought it through taylors, so probably best to go back to them?

yeah but being serious if you get 100k you have done well, hope that doesnt offend

Theres a one bed similar on the same road going for £120k. I just want to test the water really. If it doesn't sell then I'll p/x with a new build.

 :shock: Who'd pay £120k for a 1 bed maisonette?

I've just paid £125k for a two bed terrace.

sippo is that through haywoods cos they cant value for shit?

I couldn't agree more, also their solicitors are fucking useless too  :evil:

Castles I think.

if it were me i'd go for one of the smaller agents,reason for this is they have fewer houses to sell so will push yours harder.but having said that if the property is good enough it will sell itself anyway.
the reasons i'd not go for connells are,they were meant to meet prospective buyers at my home and never turned up!after i'd left messages for calls to be returned,not once were they!
 lost my mortgage details!never asked me for a key when completion had been set!
agree about their conveyancers too as they were slow to say the least.

good luck,and be prepared for fucking stress!

My folks have flogged three houses in the last 4 years - all through Charles Harding - seems to get good prices in reasonably quick time, and nice people to boot.

Mr Hardings dauther is a fox also.

Seconded

wrong area for hardings....but the best agents in town/old town

 :shock:
You should move up north - I just missed out on a 4 bed, 3 storey terrace for £129k, 0.1 mile to train station, 0.2 miles to city centre shopping.
Should've offered a bit more  :cry:

Northern pikey!

End of the day its what people are prepared to pay that decides the sale or not...

Student rental market is booming up here - you need to move your money north kiddo....

i bought both my houses through charles hardings old town branch and they were pretty good in fairness.

I'm just trying to figure out what the Birmingham market is like - I'll need to move there in September and having only rented in Studentville there before (over priced rent) I've no idea what I can get - I'm thinking of buying asap but will need to rent for 6mnths first I guess.

You lot make me not want to leave my parents home.  :?

Has anyone got any experience's of the property shop in swindon? They got a special offer of only 1% fees.

They are good lads, Chris son is a town fan so drop it in and he will look after you

Cheers mate. My pop in this week sometime. Free valuation. Gonna get it on the market this week hopefully, and should sell quickly (touch wood).

Sure you don't want it?!!

£100k for a one bed!  :shock:  :soapy tit wank:

Going rate mate...what more can I say? I had my mortgage advisor around and that I should put it on for 105k. I know he probably knows little about houses but is always in touch with agents.

Im ok thanks, will pass! my 2 bed house in westlea I rent was only 90k!

Bargain!! I bought my current one for 88k (on the market for 90) nearly three years ago. Is it worth letting out? Or is it not worth it as I want to release equity, and get a new place. Whats the renting market like at the mo?

I bought that one in May 2003 so four years ago, values have shot up in that time, mate bought a 2 bed in westlea for 135 last month!

I feel for people who havent got on the market yet

Dreading having to buy a house eventually.  

Might just stick overseas, save the hassle.

44 and a half in 4 years!! Thats a great return. See first time buyers should snap mine up.

Looks good mate

Just had an offer of FULL asking price after the first viewing!!

 :beers:

Fair play Sippo, I ain;t being funny but this country's going crazy £105k for a one bed??

Nice place though!

Bushey Boy, do you want my 2 bed in town centre for £130K?

You could easily make the attic into a 3rd bedroom - it already has floorboards and everything. go on buy it.

Cheers JA. Taylors originally valued at 97 aswell, so doubly chuffed!!

How much is it to convert an attic into a bedroom??  Anyone know?  Roughly?

Bastard. Our house has been on the market for about nine months and we've had half a dozen viewings and no offers.

15k - 20k depending on an on suite

what road?

So can any one recommend me a good solicitor? Obvoiusly I'll be using them for seeling mine and buying a new one.

winton raynes and co in devizes road.

Ash, find me a good deal on a £70k mortgage. Go!

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  tent for currant  :wink:

I have formulated a plan, biatch.

I've got that leaflet right in front of me!!

Speak to Peter, he acts on behalf of all my clients, top notch

To be honest Ash, its a whole new ball game buying and selling. It was bad enough buying my first place. So not sure how much the going rate is for fee's etc. David Wilson homes recommended him to me, so we'll see. My independant mortgage advisor is going to look aswell, so we'll see I guess.

don't think it matters who you get to do the conveyancing - in my experience you'll be the one phoning the bastards up all the time to see if they've actually done anything

I've not had any problems with my solicitor and I'm due to exhange this afternoon. *touches wood*

He's been very good, I've not had to phone him once to chase anything.

It's Nick Duff at Bower and Bailey (Bristol), his usual rate is £650 + VAT but he's doing mine for £425 8) That's only buying though, I'd imagine it would be slightly more if you're selling as well.

it's 27 Tennyson Street.

2 bed, corner bath, 23 ft living room, spiral staircase, wood burning stove, small garage out the back.

I'm just about to do the fascia and guttering aswell so that'll be new.

To be honest mate you will get more on the open market than through me.  If you are happy to take an offer I would be interetsed but quite simply im a bit of a c*nt as would offer well under.

Stick it on market and see as sounds nice and that road just off of milton will go quickly

I hope so. I need about £127k to break even so i'm going to hold out for more i think. Need to sell pretty quick though - i need a fresh start.
