GD4ELI Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It's more like Fraggle Rock these days.Well I gave up on the south-west of the UK, all-in-all the rock's hard to beat and with falling prices and the fact that I know my way round I decided to move back and stalk a few forum members Seems like only a few years since I left - in fact it was 1976 when I pushed off for university.

Lxxx Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It's more like Fraggle Rock these days.Well I gave up on the south-west of the UK, all-in-all the rock's hard to beat and with falling prices and the fact that I know my way round I decided to move back and stalk a few forum members Seems like only a few years since I left - in fact it was 1976 when I pushed off for university. Plus the fact it's never been cheaper to get on and off (for the moment) means it's got quite a bit more going for it than most parts of the UK IF you don't expect to get your money back on your house purchase. In my view property prices on here are like a falling knife and will continue to fall much lower when the economy takes it's next nosedive when the global taxation agenda really starts to kick in.

In my case it's the last time I'll move so am not too worried about falling prices; the value of a house is, and always will be - a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD4ELI Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 "Upturn in the housing market" http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-news/upturn-in-the-housing-market-1-5627860 What a load of guff. Here's just one example: "He said that a lot of buyers now already had their mortgage approved, had sold a property or were cash buyers". What about the rest - paying with seashells?

thebees Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Has any one else noticed (to the point where they are bothered enough to post about them) the ever growing glut of mansions overlooking places? That fucking eyesore in Ballabeg (sorry to swear so badly but really, it is necessary) - the thing opposite the blackboard bends, the whole of Port St Mary/Gansey prom - they're popping up all over the place- it's mental, someone I know wants to extend their house which is way back off the road, the addition to the house is beautifully designed and in keeping with the surrounding area, no end of bother with the planners...these mansions, WTF? I was having a conversation with my son last night, he was planning his mansion house, I had to tell him, the whole point of life is to be happy and have experiences, a big house will not make you happy, if you spend your entire life chasing wealth you totally miss the other stuff - I love being me sometimes. Years ago my dad and his mate were talking about a mate of theirs who'd sold his business in the 70's for a couple of million, by the time he was 35 he'd run out of things to spend money on & now, he is a totally miserable lonely old man, wives been and gone (great work if you can get it girls...) but hey - he's got a big house and loads of land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hmm. I can understand why they would do this, but having bought the rather tedious Examiner this week, I found there were no recorded sales listing there either. I'm not one for just taking a punt every week so is there another source of sales info I could use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
