  • @Howard @konastab01 can see it going to an investor at near asking price (25% deposit on a 350k house is 87.5), cheaply with contacts doing up bathroom, roof, gutters floors, decorating, and paying like £800 on an interest only mortgage and bringing in £1500 in rent, and then getting the 8% capital appreciation ish of Bristol house prices annually

  • How do things look in Eastville these days? It seems to be less desirable than Easton or Werburghs whilst being quite close to both.

    To echo the above my first place was a flat in Whitehall near St George. It was a manageable size to tinker with for a few years without being overwhelming. Similar sub floor issues but not as bad as that house. One thing I will say though: soundproofing is important with flats.

  • @Silly_Savage don't really know Eastville to be honest but I do have a preference to be quite central. Going to have an explore that way later. All my mates are central ish and easier to let a room out somewhere like St Werburghs.

    Soundproofing - would a survey pick that up? From what I've read some conversions are definitely better than others. Living in a terraced house at the moment and neighbour's kitchen one side backs on to the lounge and we hear everything.
