UK Housing Market Is Totally Screwed

Someone posted this on the other site, and it really got my goat.

The EA cant even be bothered to ask the vendor to clean up yet they want 1.7 million squid (this is a reduced price).

And overseas (ok its not paris but look at the difference between a shithole terrace and a castle.

Discuss or please post further comparisons for my mine and your entertainment!

2 deadlocks, 2 night latches, various bolt locks and an intruder chain. Got to love that enrichment.

My house had a sink in each bedroom, was never an HMO though, in fact I believe it was all the rage in the 70s. Ripped them out within the first week.

I'm pretty sure it's an estate sale. It looks like it's still in the process of being cleared. It also looks like someone decided some badly fitted out of character laminate flooring would add another £100k to the value.

Well good news .... we have a new (recent) Housing Minister ..... his wife is a landlord. In other news, due to gross incompetence lots of newly build houses in Sheffield will need to be flattened to make way for HS2.

Looks unoccupied to me. I wonder if the previous owners died and it's an estate sale? It's a shit hole either way.

Looking at photo 12 it looks like they died in the 1970s

Edit 201p beat me toit

Well that's where you're wrong! Being a bit of an Elvis fan, I made the pilgrimage to Graceland a few years ago and, aside from a couple of rooms (which aren't that extreme anyway) I can report that the King's house was actually very tasteful, mostly entirely unblinged and not even all that big. 

So says an Elvis fan prepared to go to Graceland. Like asking a Haji about Mohammed*

I'm seeing some nice price drops in my city. Leasehold flats seem particularly volatile.

A 1970s built 1 bedroom ex-council flat* with 108 years left on the lease in my city went on the market for £112k on 19.6.17. One month later the asking price has come down to £102k so around a  9% drop. Hopefully no one will offer and another £10k drop by late August. B|

* sounds crap but these types of places have decent sized windows, good area sizes and serveral cupboards thant new builds seem to lack. Oh, and a separate kitchen too.

Housing is still fine. Just got my Zoopla update. The average house in GU24 'earned' £31,500 tax free in the last six months.

Explains how all the houses can afford the expensive cars in the driveway.

Its been said before, but I reckon that Britain has had its house price crash, but just not in Sterling terms.

The Pound is down 30% against the Euro, 40 % against the US Dollar and nearly 50% against the Australian Dollar, Singapore Dollar and CHF.

The people fell for it when Wilson devalued the Pound and fed them some old line about 'the pound in your pocket' not being worth any less amd it looks like they have fallen for it again.

Wow. That is a massive fall. What is the timeframe? 

Slightly differnt issue, when I was a kid, I had a relative living in Canada. He would send Canadian dollars for birthdays. Iirc, it was Five dollars to the pound.

About a decade, give or take a year or two.

And it's never been mentioned in the msm.

Just brick. It isn't a high rise - 3 storey building.

Funnily enough, as soon as the price of the aforementioned 1970s flat dropped to £102k, a 1960s 1 bed flat's asking price has dropped from £102k to £99,950. There are 3 other 1 br ex council flats on @ £100k listed or relisted on RM in the last 3 days.

Could this be a race to the bottom? More competition perhaps in a slow market?

If they ever drop below £70k I could be tempted to take the plunge once more.
