Just to clear up some misconceptions
The property was only 3/4 finished when filmed two months ago when shown on TV, it has only just recently been finished and put on the market. A number of rooms were not in a state to be seen on TV or the buying public for example the rear garden was still a building site, the majority of filming was in the smaller bedroom, single was thrown onto the patio area to give the appearance of being finished
We have had valuations of 2 x 1.2 mill and 1 x 1.3m including one agent that changed his mind on camera and reduced to 1.1 m. . 1.3m was not a figure we picked out of the blue. A lot of people will market their property for the highest valuation so are we in the wrong by dong so ?
The estate that was shown is not and never has been a council estate but has been in private ownership since the 1930's and is in walking distance of the Thames with it's pubs and also walking distance tio Chiswick's bars and restaurants.
PL's surveyor only ended up suggesting putting in a few more acro props not exactly discounting the existing acro prop solution that was already in place
The area is not as noisy as portrayed on the programme, they showed the same shot of the tube at least twice.
A 5 bed house converted into bedsits has recently been sold for more than we want to people that want to convert it back into a family home, this is positioned closer to the main road than we are.
It has been next to impossible to get any planning for anything apart for a basement for the property.
The idea of two flats was ruled out, if you owned the bottom flat would you want someone peering at you through the skylights and into your private patio area from the balcony ? The whole point was that no one is overlooking the patio area and into the living area through the folding glass doors
Also, thanks for the critical personal comments ! we may of been on TV and be asking for it but at the end of the day we are still human beings

Does it normally sound different each time, then? V |

Thanks for sharing, Richard.
I just didn't agree with a lot of the decisions made during the development. From what i saw, the downstairs could have been developed in a way so that the two potential flats didn't affect one another so dramatically.
Regardless, we realise you're human, and our tone may have come across as harsher than intended. Apologies for that.

Yeah, I was curious about that.
Why sell all those other assets? Are you actually going to come out of this better off (even if you do sell for 1.3m)?

See, i am thinking a trip to this forum before you started all of this could have made you money and saved a bit of time as well.

Hi Richard I can understand you wanting to defend yourself and your property , but we were all just giving our views/opinions ... which is what we do well around here ... being a forum . At the end of the day we saw it as a TV programme ... because it is ... and we just share our opinions on it. It does feel very school-ground behavior ... the whole ... finding out someones been talking about you behind your back . But everyone goes through it ... and yes you will be hacked off .. but its only our opinion. Im sure it not the end of the world.  Hope you join in with afew more of our threads ! We are actually VERY friendly. |
