I presume you mean £450k, other wise I will be down in the morningJ.R. wrote:the tlc could run into thousands !
A similar house in Dorking would probably start around Four and a Half K !

5 bed detached with gardens in semi rural Herts/Bucks will set you back at least £700k around here, and if there is any character it just goes up and up

I was in Dorking this morning and out of interest, glanced in a couple of estate agents window.
The nearest house to the description above, albeit a 4 bed house, double garage AND in a private road was on the market for £725,000.
Interesting fact about Ashtead from the last census. It has more people over 65 years of age as a percentage of the total population than any other town/village in England.
A bit like Worthing or Eastbourne but without the sea.

Imagine my wail of agitation when I saw a For Sale Board (same agent) go up in a neighbour's garden!
This house is owned by a single woman - it has been unbattered by a family - new kitchen, new bathroom, new central heating, immaculate and gleaming AND only £7k more than our house...
Oh woe! Woe! What timing.

But...
But Philip, we need to go to Devon. My father-in-law there is counting on me, and will need me soonish!
I can only hope that the Ms Perfect house sells really quickly and then I can hope all over again.
Expecting set of viewers at 14.30 hrs, so 20.30 your time please spin a prayer wheel for me!
