rennie Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I paid £58k for our 3 bed detached about 24 years ago!(I've bought it again since then,marriage break up)and it's been set on fire and almost completely rebuilt.If we ever get the new garage finished and gardens tidied upit's be worth about £250k ish.Move it 3 miles it would double!House prices make no sense Quote
S-Westerly Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 My mate in Bucks reckoned about 275-300K!400K in Glos @S-Westerly? I live in the posh part of Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds AONB (by about 100m) but it does push prices up. Up the hill in old Randwick perfectly average Cotswold cottages sell for 500 k plus. Quote

That's a nice part of the world! Is Cheltenham still very affluent? Quote
Stu Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 You wouldn't get that sort of house where I live! we all have front and rear gardens and a garage The closest would be in one of the villages and you would be looking at 300k minimum In the city centre we have this sort of thing which you're talking 250k+And also on some other posh parts you're in the region of 500k+ I would like to have a guess at equivalent price in Hull for @Stu£270.59p You can go off some people you know Quote

We looked at houses there but compared to Stroud they were about 25% more expensive at least. Quote

When I worked there there was a Rolls Royce dealer on Tewkesbury Road!I couldn't believe it......I'd never actually seen one before! Quote
S-Westerly Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Think there still is along with an Aston Martin and Bentley dealer. Not that I am in the market unless I win the lottery . My wife's Lexus dealer is in the same general area and more interesting to me is Helmet City who hang out in the trading estate off Tewkesbury Road. Quote

S-Westerly Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Bloody difficult to keep an eye on it when I am wearing it! Quote
skyrider Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 at least you know nobody will nick it then Quote
Mawsley Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 So give us an idea of what that would be worth where you live? You could own our entire village.No, seriously. I'm prepared to shuffle up some shonky paperwork to swap all the houses in our village for your property. I'm prepared to throw in London Bridge if you include the animals and the bike. Quote
