been looking a million pound houses round here

[southeastastra]

and boy their design tastes are dull, it is really worth spending £££ to a house then make it look like you picked the interior furniture from the argos catalogue?

i'd link some but i really don't want to offend my neighbours

i must live near you then

In my area of Cheshire you can see the most gobSmackinglyMindBlowinglyAwfulTastes in the 7-figure houses. I am in prime footballer/wife territory though.

i wonder why they don't at least hire designers if they have a load of money

the houses look so lovely outside it's grim seeing what crap taste people really have in the uk

A million doesn't buy you much around here.

You need £3m to get something classy.

Not in the same league but DH is no footballer. Can't afford Matki/Laufen if you are doing multiple bathrooms as a mere mortal. Used to live in the NW - Hale/Bowdon which is footballer/Corrie star central and you don't get much for a million but saying that, prices are dropping......

A million buys you a 4-bed semi here.

Feckin ridiculous.

Any links to some tasteless million pound houses? Nosey emoticon

the three million pound houses are just as dull

Not tasteless, just bland. But £2m for a 2 bed flat in Manchester's poshest suburb...

'3' bed even

There is only one house for sale over £1m in the entire city where I live!

ok, well here's an 8 bed house in the same suburb for a snip over £11m

It's ok but I'd probably redecorate....can see some nice kids dinsoaur paper in some of the bedrooms...

I really like the decor in the Manchester flat.

That's because the really classy don't want their houses plastered all over the internet for MNers to laugh at so sell them off market.

Tis a fact.

thank gawd for that go mow

Gawd yes, big relief isn't it. HUGE. Can you even bear to imagine it. All those tasteful interiors. Ugh. Yuck.

I much prefer a good gander at some footballers wives (oh err) and granny chic. Makes me feel wonderfully superior eye's 'in vogue' (?) moth eaten mouse chewed pre-loved period junk and feels reassured

We have recently purchased a footballers house.

To be honest its all superficial, and all needs toning down a tad. TBH we didn't buy it because of the interior decor and style, its the best road / postcode in the area.

Interestingly, they did use an interior designer... however...the results are somewhat questionable.

And they were dirty fekers...the marble floor in the kitchen is now a different colour from when I viewed it. Yuk.

So money can't always buy you taste or encourage you to employ a cleaner
