beccaelizabethconsidering the whole lack of funding thing it is no help at all
but I still keep an eye on Norwich property listings.
There's one came back today that I have been seeing off and on for years
which makes me very dubious
plus the EPC says something like mostly double glazed and the listing says fully
the EPC is from 2013 and the flat was last sold in 2012
there's no chain, no one is living there
the listing says freshly painted but it looks the same as 2017's listing
at which point it definitely had been repainted, because I recall navy blue and a bright red such as copperbadge called a murder wall
and now there's magnolia and mustard
but the fiddling with paint makes me concerned about what they might be covering up.
Mostly I think their asking price is way too high compared to local sold prices.
It compares to new build flats on other roads fine, but on that road?
They're asking over 180K
and almost identical flats sold last year for 135K.
The most expensive on the street was 157K. With one more loo and an actual garden.
I wouldnt call their kitchen comparable quality to the 135K places even.
The Nationwide calculator, when fed with the 2012 price, guesstimates 152K.
But the ask is over 180.
If this is just the difference between asking and sold price then house prices are a silly game
but it seems likely their ask is just a bit much.
and if i win on the premium bonds that might matter...
