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...

'Agent Note - Please note that the area in red is not part of the sale.'

doesn't leave them with much of the back garden, and tho there is a bit at the side, it's just not the same.

stupid and greedy.

Same price next road over...

A million!! Jesus that would be steep even on the seafront in worthing and that’s a rubbish area- next to the gridlock part of the a27. Constant traffic noise I would imagine.

I am genuinely shocked by those prices😂. Maybe lots of people like living next to a Toby carvery and b&q, my mistake.

Too greedy either make money on the land sale and keep the house price down or try to get nearer the asking price and keep the garden as is. They will make a decent profit either way.

Fuck me Worthing has become expensive. First, saying a house worth a million shouldn't have a shit kitchen makes no sense. That house in, say, Notting Hill, could have the shittest kitchen in the world and would sell in a heartbeat. Second, yes it's right on top of a terrible section of the terrible A27. Third, if the sellers really wanted to maximise their profits they should build the shit house next door themselves and sell them separately. Fourth, the new build on the next road is also hideous. I'm depressed.

What’s happening in the cupboard (?) in picture 26?

People these days are so greedy. My guess is that they need the money from the sale of this original house in order to fund the building of the new one, hence them selling it now in the hope someone won't mind. Do they honestly think people are stupid?

It’s a nice house but the sellers are having a laugh with that move. Also it is never worth a million it needs totally redone.

“Beautifully presented” say the agents. Those bathrooms/that kitchen, surely a £m gets better than that?

Someone near us knocked down their garage and built a house ( high house price area)

Bith the orginal house and the new one are up for sale and aren’t selling. They are literally jammed up against each other. Theyve been on for ages. Yet other houses round there get snapped up straight away.

Did you miss photo 17 with the shower slotted into the wall...

Yes, that house won't sell, not with the boundary/new build being so close to the conservatory. Idiots 🙄

EDIT - that new house is soulless but at least it has land and the boundary isn't right up the next doors conservatory.

Apart from the garden issue, looking at the floorplan, how do you get from the kitchen to the dining room?

I don't like the house anyway, and even if I had a million, I'm pretty sure I could find something better than that. It's a mish mash of styles and the building site next door would be dreadful.

First link won’t work for me, have they removed the listing already? 😆

This has become very common where I live (rural Scotland). I saw three gorgeous properties before I found my current house that I had to pass on because the vendor had sold the garden / paddock separately as a building plot before advertising the house.

Then last year one of my neighbours sold his house with three acres but kept four and sold it to someone else to build four houses on. His parents bought the place for £80,000 in 1985 and he made about £1m out of it in the end.

OP worthing is a massive shithole please don't move there.

I’m more intrigued by what appears to be a forensic tent in the garden on pic 31….

I was more intrigued by the loft bedroom. Those stairs are something else. How did they even get an office chair up there?

We have a farmhouse in our village, needs to be converted into 2 flats because the owners are selling the garden with planning permission for another house so the flats will only have the space for a rotary line and he tbins. It's just greed. That's not shifting either.

Ah I see, yeah that's a bit cheeky

We have friends who have attempted to do this, and the original house won’t sell. People see greed coming a mile off and it rankles.

It looks overpriced anyway but, as you say, the last aerial photo is a disaster - it looks as if they have sold that land for development.

The loss of the garden space, leaving behind a small, overlooked garden, and the prospect of building works as yet unknow is the problem. Ten foot barge pole springs to mind.

Spot on. It is overpriced anyway.

That looks as if it is way overpriced. It's a nightmare getting from the road on to the A27. I personally wouldn't entertain moving anywhere just off the A27 as it just gets gridlocked all the time. For that price there are much better properties in Worthing.
