This episode looks quite boring. I prefer the stories of house purchases at the top of the market and angry Italian mobsters.
I still maintain I got a bargain of a house.
A year ago the house would have gone for £320K.
When I bought, it was up for a very reasonable £280K. They wanted a quick sale, so took it down to £260 meaning I got it for the stamp duty threshold at £250K.
Given this is a detached bungalow in Wilmslow which is hard to come across, I have a house that should be instantly sellable.
It is the lowest price that a house in my area has gone for in the last 8 years. One in much worse nick went for a lot more around the same time.
Cost around £10K to modernise, nice new bathroom, lounge and kitchen. Joiner retired hence tenner an hour cash in hand.
Would I do it again? Yes.
Only regret is not being able to flow the house I was moving from. However, making £300 a month from the rental income, so paying around the same for a much nicer house.

Assuming you knock tulip loads off it like the last owners did!
I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!
