Wow look at this bargain... warning property porn in reverse

[cece]

Bargain

And the location is right next to a very, very busy roundabout. Nice.

Oh my god

I was about to say 'well yes but you get places like that on Homes under the Hammer' and they get renovated. Then i spat out my tea at the price!!!!!

Love how they sell it by saying that the M4 is in close proximity - er yeah like on your doorstep!

Half a million! Wtf.
People in London will buy any old shit! You could buy acres for that oop north!

I saw it first.

haha "close proximity to the A4/M4" yeah, its your neighbour!

cece you go for it, its the wrong end of Chiswick high St for me.

Just looked this up on zoopla. It was sold in 2010 for £283k, presumably it can't have been in any worse condition in 2010, so how on earth can it have gone up in value £267k??

I'm in the wrong bleedin job. As soon as I have robbed a bank made enough money to get on the London property ladder I'm just going to buy houses, trash them and double my money!!

Hmmm wonders off to find out which catchment area it is in...

It'll be fine, just scatter some throws and cushions with a bit of patchouli oil and you have un petit palais!

Blimey, I was also at the price.

The Zoopla link also shows that it was sold for £75,000 in 1998, when it was probably in a much better state than either now or 2010.

The Agent is Foxtons though and they do so like to make up any old ginger up the price.

I know London well and I know Chiswick is expensive ... but no way is that house worth that money!

Wow....shocking....

that is shocking

I feel sorry for the poor neighbours, their house looks nice.

The house next door used to be a mess too until someone did it up naice. I wonder how much that went for....

Jax - exactly what I thought, talk about estate agent speak! I bet someone will fall for it though.

"The A4/M4 and North Circular are both situated in close proximity, perfect for "

ahem redblanket people in London will NOT buy any old shit. It hasn't sold yet. IME Foxtons are the biggest chancers in the world and will overprice the crappest piece of shite regardless. I'll eat my had if that sells for anything near that price.

It's like a different world to me!

Houses like that near me would make 45 to 50k on a good day

Worried now that we bought our flat from Foxtons! They must have seen us coming!

DP wonders how far back the garden goes and whether they're marketing it based on the land rather than the building itself - if he's right they've done an appalling job of it

I saw that last week and was completely confused - surely it's a mistake? I assumed it would be off the site the next day - clearly not Bought flat round the corner from there in 93 -

even if I'd burnt it down it would clearly still have been worth a fortune. Live and learn
