It has a cat flap and a SHED!!!!

[Swin]

Cat flap has got to be the clincher :)

Is it a decent size, so that you can fit thru it when drunk and lose your keys? Oh, shed as emergency backup too - quality!

I feel sorry for you guys living in the south-thats an absurd amount of money for a one bedroom flat-i don't know how you guys manage to get on the property ladder with prices like that

I used to live ina 4 bed detached house with large rear garden, space for 4 cars in the front, in a secluded, quiet and safe neighborhood culdesac and it was worth 180 grand at the beginning of last year (basically the same as now here) O.O!

Quality cat flap adds £ though.

It is, you can get a 3 bed semi for that up here, with a huge garden and a garage. But then I can't afford one of those either:(

When you say "bidding" I hope you are not paying anything like the asking price?????
Prices will drop much lower for that sort of property before there is a sustained upturn.If you look at the price of that two years ago and halve it you will be in the ballpark IMO.

I hope you've been to Lewisham before.... eurgh.

Do you want to borrow a cat? I loan them out for just £20 per day for catflap testing purposes ;)

Some of us are trying, and saving, and trying, but its always a dream just out of reach. Kind of like wanting to own a ducati. Some can, but others only dream and know if they scrape the money together to get one, they wont be able to maintain it

And if you do buy , we will know where you live now :)

lol!

No thanks. Got a cat. At least had a cat - my mother took it in last year when I quit my job & went travelling. The trick will be getting it back from her as she appears to have kidnapped it (catnapped?)..

That's way overpriced. I had a large three bedroom flat in Finchley, which is a much more expensive area than Lewisham. I put it on the market in 2007 and the local estate agents were valuing it at £270,000. We decided not to sell when Mrs Wyrdness got pregnant. I'm now trying to take out a new mortgage on it to buy a house outside London. The bank sent a surveyor to give them a valuation and he's said that its value for mortgage purposes is £200,000. There's another similar flat for sale in this block at the moment, and they're asking £270,000.

Current asking prices have no basis in reality. People are still asking 2007 prices and values have dropped about 20% since then. Check the land registry to see recent selling prices in that area and look at how much actual selling prices have dropped since the 2007 peak.

Wise words from Wyrdness.
