  • I don't live a million miles from that house and whilst it very nice, 100k probably won't touch the sides if you are doing a proper job on it. I'd say its more like 150 to 200k.

    It's probably a tricky house to value as it needs a shit load of money spending on it but it's bare bones are still at present, pretty nice. But the refurb costs would need to be priced as if it were a wreck.

    If you are able to you'd be probably better off buying one that's been pretty much done for 1.1.

    I suppose I would strongly disagree with this? The current owners have had it 60 years and spent little; you could probably live there at least 20-30 more spending similarly little. If you want to get themodernhouse vibes then sure throw 6 figures at it.

  • I'm with you on this. Don't see why it needs to be refurbed to the same extent as if it were a "wreck". Perhaps there's more to see in person but the photos look quite pleasant.

    Actually wrecked houses have rot, fire and water damage, cracked walls, loads of asbestos, etc etc etc.
