KIRK AND CO Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just checked on line a flat I brought 2.5 years ago for £148.000 & last dec a identical flat in same road went for £179.000 so on paper there has been a dramatic upward trend.

rickandange Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Not seen it in our area. We bought two years ago and have spent a few thousand decorating throughout (plus a new bathroom), and we'll be lucky to get what we paid for it. Getting lots of interest, but buyers are taking the piss with offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Reading, Berkshire has always been high due to London commute possibilities. Bought ours for £270k 3 years ago. Valued by 3 agents at £320 with realistic offers of £310-315. I was stunned. I knew it was going up but I didn't know it was that strong in south east England. Valuations are free. Gathering information doesn't hurt. it means are move is now full steam ahead. All I need is a teaching job for jan 2015......crossing everthing cross able.

I know it was a gamble but not bad returns if we both sold now but I can see more growth yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Agreed. I think another 6 months would solidify those prices. Where I am in Reading, there is a cap in my part of town. 4 beds are only 5k more and mine is a 3 bed, so I am in a good position. I think we will hold tight for 6-10 months and sell next year and head into rented before moving. Good to have the capital. Also means I can leave some money here just in case it all goes wrong!

Counting Stars Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 My mums having real trouble selling her house atm, its been valued as being worth over £500,000, they put it up for £500,000 but they have just reduced it to £450,000 for a quick sale as they are going through a divorce. They have made quite a lot on it. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-40478140.html?premiumA=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
