Cheers, it's all a bit of a mess inside at the moment as we're doing lots as you can imagine, but here's the old Zoopla advert with more pics

The owners before the previous ones had done the extension and done everything to a high standard, but then the people that bought it in 2012 (that we bought it from) didn't really do anything to maintain it, so everything is a bit tired and in need of work.

We'll get it back to it's former glory though

Also for my previous posts about wanting a thin TV, this is the room, so i wanted it as close to the wall as i could. I think i've done that! Cables below will be sorted when we get some proper furniture in!

Wow Marvt74,I love the look of that house, well done.

Something like that where I live would be commanding £400k+, southern life sucks sometimes.

Yep! First thing I noticed was the price, so cheap for a such a lovely house.

400k here, if you are lucky.

That’s what I was thinking. £500-600k minimum imo.

Martynt74 · 10 Jul 2018 at 11:52

The good ol' North

Dup · 10 Jul 2018 at 12:18

Nice one Martyn, although now we know where you live

I think that's a great price for the area, something like that over in the Ribble Valley would have an extra £100k on the price at least. I hope to get us into something similar one day, need a 5 year plan!

You all seem like well adjusted people who wouldn't stalk me....errrr on second thoughts...Let me just remove that link!

Yeah, i was surprised as i can walk 2 mins down a country farm lane and i'm overlooking acres of fields so it's quite a nice area too.

My girlfriend is from Belfast, we're becoming more and more tempted to jump ship over there like a friend of mine has recently, so much for the money.

wow that's a fantastic price is it that cheap because it's heated with oil or because stuff is just dirt cheap for no reason over there ?

It's generally far cheaper over in Northern Ireland. Used to be a lack of jobs, many would leave and work over here on mainland. Things are getting better over there now though, bit more of a jobs boom going on. Tempting to jump on the band wagon while it's still cheap.

Looks like the great North wins again over the southern softies for property.

Yep, it will always be the case.. 'cos London.

Personally never seen the buzz, every time I've spent longer than a few hours there I've wanted to get out!

The south is hugely overrated

Crikey. And given the NMW applies in NI (obviously), if you had two people working 45 weeks a year for £14k each (that's total of £2,150 take home per month), you could easily afford the mortgage on that on minimum wage.
