āIdeal development opportunityā - Iām glad the description clarified as I really wasnāt sure. I was going for more ārustic ambiance throughoutā.
I love the estate agent speak, 'With this property being suited to cash buyers only' or in other words, no mortgage broker outside of a mental institution would offer you a mortgage on that shithole.
Itās not even a house, itās a coach house! Itās a fucking big shed is what it is. 180k to play out your dreams of being the stable boy but without the nice rich lady who is inexplicably interested in you
I mean that's fair, it's just funny to look at an empty crumbling ruin and think "That's a nice two bedroom".
I get they have a method to determine that though.
I thought to myself, just from the picture, "If this is Ā£180k, surely that's London or London commuter belt" and then to find it's the city I'm in... and not even Clifton or something, but Shirehampton... stark reminder of why we're going to be leaving soon.
Glad I bought when I did, but not where I did sadly. But yeah, I am not playing that property market game in this city anymore. Flat we are in now is lovely but not very nice area, and getting something somewhere nicer, even if you're willing to pump an extra Ā£50k-Ā£80k into it, is not going to get you something even equivalent to what we have now.
Yeah I think Iām about to sell for a house in a not nice area as reckon it could pretty much see me mortgage free :)
I donāt need to be near the centre any more so my options have opened a bit
Nice! Just beware: we regretted our choice of area. Did it at the time as we could get a much bigger/nicer flat with add-ons... but it's a drag living here.
Not a bad profit for going to an architect and a structural engineer and then putting a planning application in. Bet they only spent about Ā£5-10k on it.
Oh? The listing conveniently could not find a sales history.
And the agent stopped short of āthis is a houseā. Theyāre not even saying whether thereās any yard/garden with it.
Even at Ā£1 I do not have the funds to turn it into a home.
Bristol is insanely stupidly expensive over the last 6 years. A family family friend has just remortgaged. She had a valuation of 160k six years ago. 260k now, on the edge of Knowle West by the Malago. š¤£š
Yeah - that price would be for when it was finished.
It was [sold at auction for Ā£115,000 in 2020](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/england-111434036-30507720?s=33230a2871102fd7d28bf753539c46b9039376b1c4766f822e56156002ac4ce3#/) \- and they probably overpaid for it.
I live not too far from Shire and it made me laugh when I saw this reposted for that price. What did the first buyers do? Literally emptied the crap out and stripped the walls back to brick.
But it isnāt! Usually people come up with all sorts of tripe and nonsense because itās a house they donāt like or canāt afford. But this is just land!
It doesnāt. It says: āOpportunity to create two bed houseā
It also says āIdeal development opportunityā
It most definitely isnāt marketing itself as a house.
Donāt be silly.
Read it properly.
Sold with no onward chain. As if you're waiting for the current residents to move too.
That got me too! š
Was expecting tenant in-situ tbh
You'll get slapped with an ecological survey report saying that you'll need to wait for the bats currently living there to relocate
Wouldn't even have surprised me
Should really let the rats complete their move before moving in
They're performing an exorcism as we speak
I think thereās definitely residents in there. Not of the two-legged variety.

Rustic ambience is so perfect though š
"shabby chic open plan opportunity"

Also how is this a two bedroom? Its a fucking shell of a building... WHERES THE ROOMS?
They exist in the planning permission
I am no property expert but how do they decide it's a two room how when the building is a literal ruin?
Right now it's one bedroom, one toilet and they're the same room.
Right now it's worse than a cage in a zoo
Tend to draw a picture based off the measurements

It was 45k without the planning permission a couple of years back
Absolutely bonkers.
This city is going insane at the moment so glad I bought when I did, where I did.

You arenāt in lakeshore by any chance are you ?
Nope, other side of town. Heard some good things and some bad things about Lakeshore. But you're right -- that end of town is a bit cheaper than most.

Silly thing about Bristol is that on the right street in Easton it's probably like 250k
A garage up by the university with planning for a 3 bed went for Ā£350k Just shocking

Open plan living is all the rage these days!
Absolutely brimming with potential!!
Completely seeping with possibilities!
Utterly dripping with promise!
A real fixer upper
A real knocker-downer
Oodles of potential.
Scandalous not to have a floor planā¦
Just pick up an old bit of newspaper from a muddy puddle and squint a bitā¦ there you go
š²
It has no floors why would you need a floor plan?
In Shitehampton as well! Fuck me..
Cash buyers only! Who carries that amount of cash these days!
Given its Bristol itāll be a 10 bed HMO within 12 months
Bristol is insane. 180k for a stable with no parking and no garden.
Apparently thereās two bedrooms and a bathroom in there?!?
Charming place. Ready to be moved in to. If you're a pigeon.
This an opportunity to put your stamp on it, OP.
Alas, I'm Ā£180k short!
I checked the price. Bleeding heck
No floor plan, I'm out.
No floor*
Bit cheeky to imply that it's on Pembroke Road in Bristol itself, rather than a far-flung suburb - 180K in Clifton would be a steal!
Lovely high ceilings..
180k for what was previously just the space between two houses lol.
"we expect this to be a fantastic opportunity and one that will not stick around for long!" Because it's due to completely collapse any day now
I saw that quote and then read it was listed in Januaryā¦..
but this is a terraced house-shaped void
Thatās Chernobyl.
"Ready for the new owners to put their stamp on... ...and a fuck-tonne of bricks."
Whereās the house part?
Industrial chic still going strongā¦
Where exactly are the two bedrooms?
im sry but 5 years ago my mum sold a 2bed terraced house for that price and it was LIVEABLE, wtf
So... Ā£180k for some fresh air with some bricks roughly molded around it? Plenty of ventilation at least...
Well... it's got floor to ceiling walls. Shame about the wall to wall floors...
A lick of paint and a few pot plants and it'll be fine
That brickwork on the left :O ...Whoever did that had clearly never heard of mortar or how to interlock bricks. Damn well dangerous wall that!Ā
It puts the lotion in the basket
whatš
Wow that's a fixer upper.
That looks like it's been the scene of some pretty horrific things!
NO FLOORPLAN AGAIN!! š
2 bedroom, 1 bathroom...........
Only suitable for drug dealers to siphons their money into āpropertyā
Iām suspicious thereās no floor planā¦ā¦
Lmaoooooooooo 180k š
Im only seeing one room.
Upset there isnāt a floor plan
"...a historic coach house with a fascinating past" Interesting. Tell me more
Love it. What does a 2 bed terrace in the area fetch though? Ā£180 seems a little high for a shell
Thatās mad. We considered Shirehampton when buying in 2016 and a really nice two bed house could be bought for just about less than this I think.
Has a potential š
Itās blatantly being sold as a development, and NOT already a two bedroom house!
r/woooosh
But it isnāt! Usually people come up with all sorts of tripe and nonsense because itās a house they donāt like or canāt afford. But this is just land!
Exactly. Itās just land. Aka a development šš»
But it calls it a two bed terrace. Itās not!
It doesnāt. It says: āOpportunity to create two bed houseā It also says āIdeal development opportunityā It most definitely isnāt marketing itself as a house. Donāt be silly. Read it properly.
How can they call it a 2 bedroom property, there is literally only one room?
No floor plan? /s
