Needs work, loads of interest and we've gone in quite a bit over asking as it ticks all the boxes.
Should know later today, what do you reckon?
Yay or Nay?
Location?
Malvern
As my old Mammy used to say.........What's for ye, won't pass ye by
we've gone in quite a bit over asking
Was that your first or final offer ?
If your first offer doesn't make you cringe, it's not low enough...
My gut says maybe.
we've gone in quite a bit over asking
Is it a "sealed offers" with a closing date type sale?
If not, why would you ever ask more than asking?
"gone in quite a bit over asking as it ticks all the boxes."
clue for the lowballers .
Its almost entirely market dependant - if somebody put in a crazy low offer
for a house I was selling where I live they would not get the chance to buy at the full price - as I would not risk a gazundering .
Looks like we have been successful 😀
It was sealed bids, they had 12 offers on it in the end, all over asking. It was priced to attract attention/quick sale.
It's perfect for what we want it for and to do with it so happy to have got it.
Went to what we could afford and it looks like we may have been a bit over the next best but the proceeds of the sale are going to charity so hoping for some good karma.. 😀
Good luck - picture thread required!!!!
Bravo Steve! WHich one?
Low ballers in a sealed bid auction.
How's that working out for you.
Good job Steve on doing it right 🙂
Don't pay with PPG.

Time to gazunder now then - who cares about karma? 😉

Will do 😉
Looks a solid house that just needs cosmetic work, with a lovely garden.
Terrible location! Everything is uphill from there! 🙂
At least youre not far from the Morgan.
Well done, and good luck on the completion
The interior is beautiful - enjoy!
Are you all going to live in the one big room?
There don't seem to be any bedrooms. 😉

Sounds like an excellent location if every ride ends with a downhill 🙂
just needs cosmetic work
And a new heating system
Looks great with loads of potential. Plus a man-cave built in as well 🙂
Should know later today, what do you reckon?
Yay or Nay?
definitely yes! what do I win.
Loving the bidet. very posh. 😉
** sighs ** only £295k. maybe £330...
That garden is huuuuuge !!
fair play bud thats a nice house with loads of potential.
That garden is huuuuuge !!
nice justification for a ride on mower 🙂

My thinking too 😉
And a new heating system
One of the 1st jobs on the list.

I'm pretty sure it runs pure Malvern Water, very posh 😆

We'll have to see what Satan brings..
That garden is a full time job. I have just moved from a place with a similar sized garden, even when we turfed all the flower beds, it was still loads of work.
I hate gardening.
At least the bathrooms don't need doing

Forget ride on mower - get a couple of these set up and spend the time saved riding.
^ 😆 😆
No polystyrene ceiling tiles? I'm oot
Some of that decor is sooo out of date it's back in. Get some brown cords and keep it - save yersen a fortune! Well done by the way - you must feel proper chuffed.
That's an original kitchen.
Garden is 3mx3m - you've all been fooled by ultra-wide-angle lenses!

Nice garden!
We bought a similar (perhaps 10 years or so newer) that that but similarly old fashioned as it was owned from new by pensioners and they didn't do a thing with it
Four years later and we have done every room bar the front room & utility + completely made-over the garden.
Don't under-estimate the £££££ and time it will take! I reckon we have spent £80k on ours and I have just managed to go to the gym for the first time in 5 months last night (we had a deadline to complete the garden for a party last week so that took every spare moment I had.
Perhaps a little paranoid of me, but are you guys happy with internet randomers knowing where you live?
THat huge place for £300k???
Curse me living on the ruddy south coast...
I'll find you what you can get for £330k here... ONe sec..

Ah, good point..Perhaps a little paranoid of me
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.

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!

Good job Steve on doing it right
If the op had mentioned it was sealed bids he might have had different replies ..
So, is there some link I am missing here...? I'd love to see it - Malvern is a brilliant place too!
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.
