House prices may be in free fall but a public lavatory was sold yesterday for £403,000, with developers claiming that it would make a great club, school or "bog-standard cafe".

The two-storey property near Fulham Broadway, southwest London, was sold at auction for more than four times its guide price.


A bit of a tuliphole, and money down the pan?


Credit Crunch my arse!

The number of mortgages approved for house purchases in the UK has risen for the first time in a year, according to the Bank of England.

Some 33,000 home loans were approved in September, a rise of 1,000 compared with the record low of the previous month, the Bank said.

Agreed. It's because of the close proximity of Chelsea. There are 2 types of people who live there: wannabe trendy King's Road types and council flat chavs. The latter are slightly less ghastly.

I think Fulham/Putney is quite nice for London.
