Is "Fibre cement" roof estate agent code for asbestos?

You'd get the big bucks if you were the agent who was able to spin asbestos issues with fancy phrasing.

"This charming 1960's cottage comes with period features including rustic mineral felt ceilings with exposed fibres providing a cosy aesthetic"

You'd assume that 99.99% of people who may be interested in the house would also be factoring in the cost of having to sort out the mess that is the interior

And on top of all else, it's next to a school and a nursery, and backs on to playing fields.

Lovely spot but that’s crazy money. Air BnB soon I suppose.

That’s exactly what I thought before I’d even clicked on the link. Mental pricing but I’ll bet it sells soon enough.

The prices on the Northumberland coast are still going up.

£750k for a 3 bed semi.

Looks like similar houses on that street were being sold (maybe as new) for £80-90k in 1994/95. Would have been some investment.

Just saying exactly the same thing to a friend yesterday.

£90k, for a 3-bed semi, 30 years ago is still high?

There was always inflated prices on that stretch of coast but it's expediential now.

Also, a lot of houses in Low Newton were ex-council and they restrictions on what they could be used for i.e. not holiday homes or lets.

“The appearance could be improved by tending to the grass.”

That just makes me want to run out and spend £100k

This is rather nice if a bit pricey.

I wonder what changes have been made to the photos?

I suspect its an empty house, had a revite but no actual furniture in it.

That is the same price as the 3 bed semi in Alnwick posted a few days ago.

Mental that something that big is going for well under £1m. That would be £15m if it were in Buckinghamshire.

The Ship is just too popular now.

I remember going there as a teenager and it had a pool table, no food and crappy 1980's beer.

Now, you have to stand in a queue while people order hot chocolate and 4 different types of coffee. Shouldn't be allowed in a pub with such good beer.

All about timing.

Nothing better than spotting a load of arseholes in there who queue in a line for the bar and walking to the bar. Always get served by the world (southern) weary staff.

The Joiners Arms is a disgrace though. A prime example of not giving a shit cos you’re raking it in!

Unbelievable.

I would hazard a guess it was bought my someone who will probably never set foot in it.

Looks like mozzie central, I'm sure someone will love it but the little bastards love me so I'm out.
That and the fact my bank account is several millions short of affording it

they love me anarl... though they tend to stay close to the ground. my ankles and calfs will get bitten but my arms won't (standing up).
that place might be OK as it's elevated, but being surrounded by water in a rain forest doesn't bode well
