You only get one half of the toilets. The kitchen is in your front room and you have nearly one bedroom. No outside space and no chance of parking a car anywhere nearby.
Open plan kitchen/living room 18'0" x 12'1" (5.49m x 3.68m)
Downstairs cloakroom
Stairs to first floor
Bedroom 15'4" x 8'2" (4.67m x 2.49m )
Shower room
Outside bike store

They've converted public toilets to a 'house'? 😯
I live just up the road so I'll have a guess at £250k.

Two houses!

I've just found it on rightmove, but I'll let you all keep guessing.

£300,000 😀
Yep. £300,000. Mental and pretend I didn't give the link!
£280k
Ladies or Gents half?
Surely it's a cottage?
P1ss take it's a dump
How long before this all goes pop? Prime London's already falling and everyone I know who's lived in London for years but not bought is leaving because they can't afford to live there anymore. Including me.
These toilets in Bristol are unconverted and right next to the railway and main road:

£320000
That Bristol one's even more shocking, it's still a bog!
£300k for a public toilet in a shit area?, that takes the piss.
[url= http://http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-48370627.html ]£300k would buy this[/url] or [url= http://http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-34040790.html ]this [/url] where I live.
Shame about the main road, it doesnt seem unreasonable for a 2 bed.
😯 blimey it's just half! And i don't usually blink at London/SE prices but that is taking the piss.

We are pleased to offer to the market a rare opportunity to purchase a choice of two brand new semi detached houses. Downstairs comprises of an open plan kitchen/living room, and downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs benefits of a double bedroom and shower room. The properties are finished to a high standard throughout and they also benefit electric underfloor heating and double glazing. Situated in the heart of the popular village of Ewell with its variety of shops and a wide range of pubs and restaurants this opportunity is not to be missed. Also close are two railway stations (Ewell East and Ewell West) both providing services to London. Call now to avoid disappointment.

Wonder what the profit will be on them, considering the [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-19771971 ]undeveloped purchase price.[/url]. How much to build the housing, I wonder?
Someone snapped up a bargain on Dunblane - they were only £40k ono. 😕
One of the toilets is now SOLD.
Quick only one left.
Nothing like having a massive bi-fold door on a road-side - it'll give people queuing for the bus something to gawp at.
300 grand. **** **.

This is not too far from me. And 300 grand (ish)
One of the toilets is now SOLD.
Someone's feeling flush... 😆
The South East of England is insane. 😯
Crazy! I really don't understand what motivates people to pay so much for so little.
Meanwhile you can buy this entire 65 acre island in Shetland for £250k!

Even bits of woodland are way overpriced in the SE, my family own a 1acre field that is accessed by a steep angled drive off a b-road, you would never be able to build on it but it was my grandfathers market garden and we just have an old shed, park bench and a BBQ up there. There is .6 of an acre strip of woodland that joins that field to the village. We walk up through this to get to our field (as do villagers who want to avoid the steeply banked road with blind corners) nobody knows who owns it but it's appeared on an auction listing with a £6k guide price? 😯 you can't build on a narrow wooded steep bank, you would not be able to log it as there is not one bit of flat ground or proper access apart from a small path (not a footpath) the adjoining farmer who has the field wouldn't buy it as to clear it and extend his field onto a steeply sloping bank would be be pointless.
Maybe they expect a London type to buy it as a 'woodland refuge' 😆
the commute might be a deal breaker!Meanwhile you can buy this entire 65 acre island in Shetland for £250k!
😆 Depends where you are commuting to. The village of Walls is only 500 metres away. By boat.

I just got that 😆
Demand and supply - no-one wants the island. If I lived in the village would I buy it just for fun? What to do with it? Some sort of base for launching evil upon the world?
The properties are finished to an [s]high[/s] Ideal standard throughout
Trap One of the toilets is now SOLD.
FIFY
Too late the other toilet is sold. However my shed is available for 200k.

Have they employed a retired premier league footballer as an interior designer?
Those two Scottish ones are the most tasteless places I've see!
Wonder what the profit will be on them, considering theundeveloped purchase price.. How much to build the housing, I wonder?
Hard to say. Could have been a big job
And again, the only winners in this are the lenders and the government. The small exception being the relatively few, who can buy outright or have managed to pay off the loan/debt early and massively reduce the additional interest amount.
I wonder, when the prices become so unaffordable, whether even those few will be able to reap their equity, as no one will be able to pay the price they require.
For the majority however, it's like paying rent, with interest and with the liability to maintain something that still belongs to the lender! Still, it makes sure that everyone keeps working, paying tax and being good citizens to maintain all this perceived increase in wealth.
Hook, line and sinker! Along with pensions and personal greed, the illusion has worked a treat. 🙄
EDIT: I've never really bothered to work out the sums, so perhaps someone could enlighten us with the actual true cost of house 'ownership'? Let's say a purchase price of £300k, over 25 years, including interest at whatever the normal current rate (4% ish?) and then an average annual maintainence amount for the full term, which is probably a %age of the purchase price. There may be a personal profit in there, but I'm not sure how much.
There's defo some price inflation going on in Scotland with certain estate agents/conveyancers who hire their own home report surveyors. They do certain things to create a bit of a feeding frenzy, like only booking block viewings, setting closing dates and regularly mentioning other viewings. Not helpful!
Not helpful!
Unless you're the seller .
Unless you're the seller .
House price inflation doesn't help anyone.
99% of the time the seller still has to go and buy another house which has also has an inflated price.
My inlaws are looking to downsize. They live in THE road to live in ,in a very sought after area.
The estate agents came round and three of them valued it at around the same price.
An open day was set and it was "offers above £x ".
Their best offer was £45000 under the starting price.
Maybe sanity is starting to reappear in the market.
