So latest conundrum- put an offer in on Penge / Sydenham home. Bland 90s build but backs on to a big park and transport links are good. Can’t create any more space (aside from converting the small garage) so it’s a home for 5 years but not much more. I’ll be buying an office shed etc.
Turns out it’s on a ‘private road’ even though none of the EA details say that and the Housing assoc that in theory owns it isn’t easy to find on the internet.
EA wasn’t aware either but happily confirmed that the vendors say they don’t pay anything for upkeep - some sort of weird magic money thing going on...
At least it’s a good potential downwards £ negotiation lever later on.
Also why do people selling their house reduce price to £x but say ‘we won’t accept anything less than £x+20k’.
