Work starts on the eagerly awaited new Foxtons office on Brixton Road

Fuck this house price shit, we're supposed to be plotting the downfall of Foxtons!

I'm planning my next move….if I receive any more of those fucking "we're looking for property in your street" letters I am going to personally visit the said estate agent and demonstrate exactly where they can stick their letter.

This is £994/sqft.

No cellar. Very small fourth bedroom, smallish kitchen and a modest garden.

Those houses aren't as good as, say Leander Road. Modest is being kind about the size of gardens on that side of the street and the rooms aren't that big. Last year Foxtons put a house a couple of doors down on the market at £950k but word is it went for £875k.
A couple of shire types were looking at it the other week and asked me what the neighbourhood was like (whilst staring at a menacing-looking sludge metal poster on the wall outside the Windmill). I pointed to my right and said that the Blenheim Gardens estate (which on a dreary day was looking suitable pallid and communist-era east European) is about a quarter of a mile long and this is the street people enter it by. I think i did my anti-Foxtons bit that day.

(Not doing down the street or estate at all; I just didn't like this pair much)
 
Yuk, horribly ostentatious, esp the bathroom and the ludicrous balustrades in the garden, which is too small and shabby. The off-road parking space adds value, but if you could afford that price then I'm sure you could find something much more tasteful and better value.
I'd never want to buy something someone else had completely finished- their taste will always be different from yours. I'd rather check structural stuff and ignore whatever crimes against taste have gone on.
 
yes. the decor is no good.
Dunno. Apart from the living room, which is utterly, utterly baffling, there is some nice antique furniture in there. I suspect its nicer IRL than in pictures- the houses that photograph best are often very sparse and beige when you actually view them.

£1.7m though. Wtf?
 
Hasn't that one been kicking about for a while though? I recognise the photos :hmm:

And come on, at least put a duvet on the bed, don't just put a throw over the mattress and expect everyone to be convinced it looks like a real bed. The living room is too cluttered, odd when a lot of the rest of the house is fairly empty. Crap staging?

photograph 10, they haven't shut the drawers on the chest of drawers. FFS people, you know your house is going to be photographed!!

Actually, mixture of made up and not rooms makes me wonder if its a post divorce sale? //speculation on minimal evidence

I saw that and was secretly appalled. It's not hard to do is it?
