Anyone else us Rightmove like a lovely bit of property porn? I spend many session looking for incredible properties you'd need a double rollover to afford, then seeing what my house would cost elsewhere and what I'd get for the same money around the country.

 

There's one up for sale in Blundellsands at the moment that looks like it's an ex player, replica of big ears in a cabinet and 5 medals plus loads of shirts on the wall.

Haha, I promise you, the first two thoughts I had were:   1) looks like a place for a pound shop Barbara Cartland 2) I should make a crack about Stig selling up

Looking at that this morning!. It was 3.75m two years ago, now it's down to 2m, it is owned by the guy who started Delta Taxis. It is one amazing house

I'm always on Rightmove, I even have the app installed. Originally it was because we were looking to move but my house is now worth less than what I borrowed when I bought it 6 years ago (and I got it £15k under market value back then too) so it's just to keep an eye on the market. Which I do every day.

That place is amazing, shocking decor though!

 

Thought that myself, rip out that shite and burn it and go minimalist and modern. I do not own curtains (prefer blinds) cushions or rugs. Amazing how much light a window can let in once you throw out the material people like to cover them with.

 

I swear I didn't even know what a pelmet was until I moved in with a woman.

The authorities should seize it and use the proceeds to clear up all their wretched fly posters, 2 mil ought to just about do it an all.

Pelmet? No idea and I'm not even going to Google it.

 

That house in the OP must be Didi's, it's a player who was with us in '99 and '01 going by the framed shirts and '05 going by the replica of the European Cup.

How does that work when it comes to re-mortgage? Or are you just on a tracker or something?

I'm on a variable rate which is currently 0.5% so my mortgage dropped by £400 a month after the recession. I got the house for £122k when they were going for around £140k (girl wanted a quick sale) and put down a 10% deposit so was only borrowing £110k on a house worth at the time £30k more. Then the arse fell out the housing market and seen same houses going for £105k recently by mine. I started on interest only as it was our first home together, had a mortgage for far less than its worth and were hoping to not be there for more than 5 years. Just going to ride it out for a couple more years then see where we stand. Probably be worth less again.

You can't buy class

 

It is concerning that there are a disproportionate amount of outdoor shots. What abominations are they hiding in the master bedroom and bathrooms?

 

Although it has to be said that walled vegetable garden is fucking amazing

That's why I'm glad I didn't buy until recently, I reckon with the work I've done I've now got about £30-£40 grand equity (when i remortgage that is)and I've only had it 6 months, it was a fixer upper.

 

The market was always going to need a correction and still now even it's too high I'd say, my mates in the same boat as you but he bought right at the height on shared ownership and is locked in on an interest only now, there is a big gulf in what it's worth and what he owes making his share of the house almost nothing despite paying it for 6 years
