30th September. Home Sweet Home - Offers Over £65,000.

Isabelle draws my attention to the Property Guide and a house that is new on the market.

'Could benefit from some upgrading' is how they describe it.

"What a cheek! You should have seen it when I bought it! - UPGRADING? Don't they realise its got a completely new roof?"

Yes it's an opportunity to buy the same house again 26 years later. Now that would be like buying a slice of your own life.

In fact I'm minded to move back and live there without a fridge, phone or television with full gas central heating but refusing to ever turn it on for reasons of 'economy'.

I could point out to Junior "This corner is where I came under attack from flying crockery, also if I'm not mistaken, it's the same part of the living room where you were conceived, your mother was standing on a box of four inch nails at the time."

It sounds very cheap for anything which is habitable, but I suppose roofs only last a certain period of time; maybe it is merely a ruin now?

Viewing on wednesday - roof should last 100 years.

Probably they priced it low to attract the buyers which seems to have worked , there doesn't seem much chance of buying it back.

Amanda said...

Are you serious about buying it back or is it merely a trip of nostalgia?

The Editor said...

Yes serious about buying it back although the first time round the asking price was offers over £4500.

That's inflation for you.
