Bonjon Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 For 15k (guide price) you could net yourself this lovely property. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-36724184.html Is it really so hard to get on the property ladder?? I'm half tempted to snip it up myself, give it a lick of paint and rent it out for full HB. Chem1st over to you...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 No plans to live in it then. Average price on that street is round £55k so I would imagine it will go for a bit more than the guide price at auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laineyiow Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 As this is auction property it doesn't mean it.will sell for £15k could be a lot more then there are all the added fees on top. Having never bought at auction I'm not quite sure what the in's and out's of it are. And not sure on mortgage implications either. What I found interesting is that is sounds like a Council property being sold off unless I misread that.bit and have got.it totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes for below 30K thats alot of house for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my day, a 55k house would get you a detached house in a decent area (that was 1997) and not a c*aphole in a cr*p area. In 1997, if you wanted to live in something like that, you got paid to live there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a nice caravan for less and park it somewhere nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Squirrel Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 A mate of mine lived on East Street in Dinno some years ago in a similar type house. As long as you have a car worth less than 15 quid and own a large dog like a Doberman, they are quite nice cosy little houses for a young couple to start off in. 15k?.... you could double your money by around 2025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as though originally it was an old pit house..ie belonging to a private mine company in the days before the NCB.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Worst part of the worst end of Dinno. Enough said, really. EDIT A mate of mine lived on East Street in Dinno some years ago in a similar type house. As long as you have a car worth less than 15 quid and own a large dog like a Doberman, they are quite nice cosy little houses for a young couple to start off in.Precisely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
