To think this house will never sell...

[BumpandBounce]

Currently searching for a new property in West Sussex as we are re-locating for DH's job and came across this gem on RightMove...

Wait until the last aerial photo...

Can't see what the issue is?

I don't get it?

Presumably you could buy the land as well?

Totally depends what’s planned and if planning permission has already been approved or if the new owners have the opportunity to object or buy it in addition.

Not sure what the price is like for the area but it’d still have a fairly decent sized garden.

£1m AND we’re building two houses in your garden?

What’s wrong with it?

What’s the red bit on the last photo? Needs a bit of modernisation but quite a nice house.

What's wrong with it?

the red bit is where the current owner is keeping as a plot of land/selling to a developer to build a new (or more) properties.

which will be about 8 inches away from your conservatory.

Ahh! I get it 🤣It’s a no from me.

There is a large area of the garden which isn't part of the sale so potentially another property being built there

😂 YANBU

up until the last picture I was thinking it was OK. Not my taste. Certainly wouldn’t pay £1M, but some would.

But yeah, not many people want to live that close to a building site.

It was purchased last year for £875,000. It's for sale at £1,000,000 but the owners are retaining most of the large garden, I assume to build on.

Why would anyone pay more for a property when you're getting half the land? I can't see them getting any interest...

Not for that price, no.

Once the building work from "next door" is complete, it might, but people won't buy when they see what it could have been, with large garden, but will end up with a building site and no space.

Even in Worthing, £1M for a 4 bed is a bit deep by the look of it.

I like how the bit about the section in red not being included is the very last thing mentioned.

So basically a £1 mill family home with no garden & potential neighbours close enough to see what breakfast cereal you're having

Noone in the right mind would buy that

Why would anyone pay more for a property when you're getting half the land? I can't see them getting any interest...

It's completely irrelevant what people have paid in the past, what matters is what the market is doing today.

Advertising as losing half the garden is not a great marketing move however.

It could be the case that prices have risen in that area and someone is willing to buy it at that price, although having researched other property nearby I doubt it.

I just struggle to understand the thought process of the vendors... "Let's retain most of the garden and see if we can get someone to give us more than we paid for the property a year ago"!

A beautiful house went up for sale near me. Was a little bit dated, but didn't need much doing to bring it up to date. It was on a lovely plot with a wrap around garden.

Developers snapped it up and plonked an ugly new build either side of it. A year later they are still trying to sell the original house.

Oh my god not only would your house have no privacy you’d have to live there through the building work which would be up your arse and in your ear.

Annnnd they bought it for 875k in 2023

😅😅😅😅😅

what clowns

My thoughts exactly 😂

A neighbour of mine tried to do something similar, although the house they were selling had a much bigger garden. She got planning permission for a house in the piece of garden they were selling separately. The original house just wouldn't sell as no one wanted builders building a house in what was once part of the garden. After a year of being on the market she is now renting the original house. The building plot hasn't sold either.

The level of greed here is astonishing and quite frankly, it makes me laugh that she is now in that situation. Some people.

I mean, the house itself isn't very nice and definitely not to my taste, I would not buy it even with the garden. I also can't even believe planning permission was given and certainly can't see why anybody would even consider purchasing.

I really like a house like this. The house is great but they've taken part of the garden and are selling it off separately with planning permission. Neither sale can go through until they both do as the deeds will have to be split at that point.
They inherited the property, already have plenty of money, and are the greediest sellers I've ever come across.
It's a shame as the house would be perfect but I'm not going to be paying more than the house is worth to lose a massive chunk of the garden and have people building a new house 2m from my side door.

missing the point of the thread, but that’s already covered, the kitchen is shit for a £1m house.
