Do we need to send the police around to arrest your driveway?

Having seen the mostly before and mostly after I think you've done a fantastic job with the place - it's ended up with an interesting mix of original character and charm and modern touches.

Aww thank you people

Really nice to hear!

It's been super rewarding! Looking forward to another project in the future... but first... I have a motorbike to source and a world to conquer! Mu ha ha!

Rightyo!

There's a slight change of plan!

As things fluffed up with our timing and we're now delayed until November time(ish) we've decided to bosh it on the market.

Had various estate agents around and despite the fact the housing market has dropped since I had it, the average valuation has been around £185 - £195k

We're putting it on the market for £194,950!

Estate agent is popping around and taking photos Monday for the papers on Tuesday so when the ads go up and what I will put links! Quite excited... I've never really had a house on sale properly (they always have gone before viewings have commenced / privately... who knows this might still happen!)!

Which reminds me, must put the house on Gumtree too just incase!

Will put links through when it's up... fingers crossed for a positive sale eh!?

What were you expecting to be able to sell it for when you set out? Will it still have been a worthwhile project if you got your bottom value of £185ish for it?

Pheebs · 03-08-2012, 11:04

I was hoping for around £195k - £200k when I originally bought it but the market has dropped by around £10k around here!

So..

Purchase: £137k
Renovation costs: £23k (not including furniture which I have to sell on... approx £2k worth of furniture)
Agents / Solicitor fees: £3k (had a deal at the auction and another now so doing alright)

So at £185 I would make around £20k after fees

Worth it IMO! Could have turned it around much quicker and next time I will do

Some final piccies

Pretty happy with how it's turned out!
