Perhaps a little paranoid of me

Ah, good point..

Has no one lived in it for the last 30 years ?!?! 😯

Depending on your taste, 1 x new kitchen, 2 x new bathrooms, every room decorating, 1 x stove & pizza oven, 1 x orangerie, 1 x man cave, new boiler system & controller system; all to just bring it up to minimum STW standard.

£100k + of work??

As above – I reckon we have spent (so far) about £80k.

Our place before had been empty (apart from farm animals) for over 50 years 🙂 we didn’t have kids at the time though so we sorted that much more quickly.

Elsewhere in Malvern – house makes the Carbuncle of the Year Shortlist…

Johndoh – wowsers!!

That’s lovely!

Nice, had a mate who lived round the corner on Wye Ave. Yours has a much bigger garden and is posh (has a bidet) 🙂

Just got back from Sweden and loads of houses had those robo-mowers trundling round, including flaps under gates so they can escape to do edges by the footpath.

In the UK I’d imagine they’d just get stolen or vandalised 🙁

House looks a great move. We almost did the same 5 years ago and have regretted not taking the plunge.

Oh well, not quite the North Worcestershire Alps but welcome anyway.

So, is there some link I am missing here…? I’d love to see it – Malvern is a brilliant place too!

This one?

Low ballers in a sealed bid auction.

How’s that working out for you.

Good job Steve on doing it right

If the op had mentioned it was sealed bids he might have had different replies ..

Yes, looks like the link has been removed. It was there a couple of hours ago but now vanished.

So what was the outcome ?

Don’t know yet! As the proceeds are going to charity they need to have a meeting to make sure they are happy. One thing they wanted to check was that we weren’t just going to knock the house down and build on the land..
Hopefully, should have an answer later today 🙄

Is it a “sealed offers” with a closing date type sale?

If not, why would you ever ask more than asking?

Try buying a house in Sheffield and you’ll know.
To a ‘southerner’ like me it’s bizarre.

Friday
Me – “We love the house, so we’ll offer full asking price if it comes off the market. We’re relocating and need to make a commitment”
Agent calls vendor
“She needs to ask her husband”
Saturday
“They want to think about it over the weekend”
Sunday
Mrs PP – “Lets look at that new house tomorrow”
Monday
We like the new house, so I call the agent
“I know what the Sheffield makers is like, tell me how to buy this house….”
“Give us £3k deposit”

I rang the other agent back and withdrew our offer explains that the offer meant a commitment from us as well as them and we were very disappointed at being let down, so had carried on looking.

So the new house was easy to buy off the developer but buying one off a private owner is nuts there.
