    homes under the hammer liars

    For all you sit at home types

    just watching today`s episode and surprised to see a fella that had sold his own house to fund a basement garden flat doer upper , he moved into rented.

    first mistake paying 314k when guide was 250k then not completing in 28 days and getting a 20k fine

    valuations came in at 350k to 375k and £425 to 450k

    eventually sold for less than purchase , refurb , legal, estate agents fees.

    1 bedroom apartment for sale in Lyndhurst Way, Peckham, SE15

    property only goes up

    It happens. I went to an auction recently where the guide price for a house was 135k. Knowing it was undervalued, they started the bidding at 150. I eventually got knocked out at 210k, and the bloody thing finished at around 285k. It needed at least 100k spending on it, and was worth about 350k done up.

    Madness
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      60m Turkish renters are heading this way, I'd say whatever the price is now, in 5 years it will be worth 10x that.

      Vote remain and fill yer boots! We're all BTL millionaires now.....

            That's nothing - In South Kensington basement flats are going for anything up to £1,400,000

            Property details for Basement Flat 284 Earls Court Road London SW5 9AS - Zoopla

            How do you think I could afford to buy outright an eight bedroom turnip in Devon?
