7/8 bedroom rural manor with land.

Dollywilde · 22/06/2021 20:13

2 bed semi needing work. Less desirable Surrey.

MaloInAnAppleTree · 22/06/2021 20:14

Or a very basic but functional 3 bedroom flat right next to the tube station on a fairly lairy estate.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 22/06/2021 20:15

Just looked on Rightmove, mostly 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom detached.

ShowOfHands · 22/06/2021 20:15

Decent 4 bed detached period property with good gardens, parking and character.

My house twice with about 25k left over. A largish 3 bed semi with garage and large front and back garden

burritofan · 22/06/2021 20:17

2-bed Victorian conversion flat, no garden, 57 sq m with the kitchen in the sitting room, and no bathroom window. Ah, London. Proper cunt of a city.

40somethingJBJ · 22/06/2021 20:20

4-5 bed detached with garage/parking/good gardens. Derbyshire.

puguin86 · 22/06/2021 20:21

@80sPadme

7/8 bedroom rural manor with land.
Where do you live?
NameyNameyNameChangey · 22/06/2021 20:28

South East
Small 2 bedroom in a reasonable area.
Or a really nice flat in a "nice" area.

Mugsen · 22/06/2021 20:30

Ugly 50s or 70s 3 bed semi or two up two down type Victorian terrace. Reasonable area, good schools. Home counties.

CoffeeRunner · 22/06/2021 20:30

4 bed detached.

chesirecat99 · 22/06/2021 20:32

Not much.

A 9 year lease on a 2 bed flat (that's not a typo), an ex-LA 1 bed flat or a studio flat in a not very nice building that was filled with dodgy Air BnBs that are all being sold off. I think there was a thread on MN from someone who had rented a particularly filthy one a while back and was desperate to find a hotel!

TBF, I'm surprised there is anything other than very short leases. Prices have dropped (Central London).

TabithaTiger · 22/06/2021 20:34

Having checked Rightmove, more than I expected actually! 4 bed townhouse or three bed detached in a pretty reasonable area.

Large town, South East.

HappyTimeTunnelDinosaur · 22/06/2021 20:38

Large 3 bed or small 4 bed detached with a decent garden, small but nice village in SW.

frumpety · 22/06/2021 20:39

A lot of snazzy 4/5 bed new builds , flats in period properties and these within a 10 mile radius.

small 3 bed semi or a nice 2 bed flat

CloudPop · 22/06/2021 20:41

@TheLovelinessOfDemons

4 bedroom flat. Fulham.
Really ?
TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 22/06/2021 20:45

£400,000? An impressively spectacular night out and resounding hangover, but then I live near Surbiton, and I think everyone knows what that means... Wink

1forAll74 · 22/06/2021 20:46

A two bed little terraced cottage, with a small garden and not much frontage garden area,and parking on the road with two wheels on the pavement on narrow road, sometimes can't find a space,as various newcomers now have two,and maybe three cars, village in HERTS. Most newcomers seem to like grey walls everywhere.

newbrother · 22/06/2021 20:47

A big detached house ranging from 3-5 bedrooms with a huge garden and a garage. Aberdeenshire.

MistySkiesAfterRain · 22/06/2021 20:48

3 bed semi. Sussex/Surrey border.
