Woah. The spider web in the bathroom could probably accommodate a lodger.

Considering a completely refurbished 3 bed house in the same street sold last year for £620,000 I'd say it's definitely overpriced.

No idea of the local market but that's a big house in NW10, big garden, and an open aspect at the front.

So probably a reasonable price!

If that's the one I'm looking at, despite being described as a terraced house, the floor plan shows it to only be a flat.

What amazes me about London is that the property market is so expensive and yet it's still possible to find houses in this state.

Panicmode1 · 23/10/2023 14:49

Seems overpriced in the current market for the state it is in. It has good bones but needs ££££ spending on it...I think someone is flying a kite!

Pezdeoro41 · 23/10/2023 14:50

It seems ridiculous to me. But I have increasingly noticed that a lot of sellers seem to be pricing run down properties at not that dissimilar levels to their done-up equivalent, which is bizarre - I don’t know if the lack of decent properties around is now leading to a premium being put on “potential”.

No way I’d buy it if I had a million quid though!

Sparehair · 23/10/2023 14:54

If you look on street view the one next door has a garage extension and the loft extension. London councils tend to go by precedent so it’s likely that house would get permission for same.

ToEachHisOwnFear · 23/10/2023 15:02

I wonder if you get the skip thrown in for free. Bet the neighbours are praying someone moves in. I would worry about its structure when it's so neglected!

The estate agent blurb mentions the possibility of extending, so unlikely as it looks, the price for what could become a large 5/6 bedroomed house in that part of London is probably not far off.

and?

If you work and live in London you aren't going to look at a property in Bury to live in and commute from.

MyBlueDiary · 23/10/2023 15:11

A better comparator is number 37 which sold for a similar price, needed less work but is slightly smaller. An EA told me that for houses like this, square footage counts for more than condition- most buyers will be intending to refurb anyway.

renata2485 · 23/10/2023 15:15

If it costs you a £1m to buy and £250k to extend and refurbish, you might get £1.4 million for it when it's all done to high spec. The view over the park is nice but it looks quite a big road.

I'm not sure my extension budget is quite enough, but a builder would certainly be interested if he could get stuff done at "mates rates"

KievLoverTwo · 23/10/2023 15:31

It would make a wonderful HMO for rats.

Maireas · 23/10/2023 15:35

NW10 is very sought after. You can't really compare it to Bury.

Stravaig · 23/10/2023 16:03

Oh my. Be fun to transform though! If you had the money ...

AnOldCynic · 23/10/2023 16:09

Lots of original features. It would be nice if there was a sympathetic renovation carried out. Probably not though...

TenderDandelions · 23/10/2023 16:31

For an extra £100k up the road you could have this instead. OK, so it's mid terrace rather than semi.

Fully refurbed and extended 5 bed here for £1.4m or a 4 bed semi in good condition just around the corner for £995k

I'd say they're massively chancing their arm on £1m for that!

I was going to click the link until I read this 😱

Im not surprised at the price the 2 bed council maisonette we lived in in the 70s in New Addington surrey theres one for sale now leasehold at £250k and the three bed mid terrace we sold back in 1987 is now in the £350k bracket and addington is way out of London

wherethewaterisdarker · 23/10/2023 17:15

Is that even a desirable area? Good god I’m so glad I don’t have to live in London, completely mad property market!!

CrashyTime · 23/10/2023 17:26

VeryDiscombobulated · 23/10/2023 15:01

Looks like they have already reduced the price by 15k, but if you look at historical prices for similar in the area they are flying a very big kite, VERY overpriced IMO.

bellamountain · 23/10/2023 17:45

Possibly the land, looks like you could potentially build another property on the garden?
