What's the lowest cheeky bid for a house my missus is thinking of buying ?

wouldn’t want to live there either but it nudges in ahead of blackpool !!

House like that in Detriot would set you back about $500….

Are you allowed to go that fast on L plates?:D

i have driven a 38 ton tractor unit to a 50cc motorcycle and everything inbetween covering bentleys , porsches , ferraris etc etc whilst yes it can be tricky when the blue rinse brigade are out and about in blackpool i follow the guys with the horse and carriage as they have a better view than others and seem to get through the traffic better than the doddery old pensioners !!

Tell you what you go to Fleetwood and tell em they live in the Blackpool area
and I’ll send you some flowers to the ward you end up in at Blackpool Vic Hospital. I know how long it takes to get there from Blackpool it’s 7.4 miles and it takes longer at rush hour, in fact go to St Annes an see what they think of your ill thought out statment, Oh and as for the silly statment of £30.000, that wont buy you a shed in Lytham. It’s zero miles north, are you taking the p%%ss.

30.000 was my personal value not what bozo’s actualy pay !!

no fleetwood is not blackpool but blackpools entertainments and hotels extend into cleveleys , cleveleys is blackpool i have just come back from there today from being with a client for work for 5 days , cleveleys is blackpool in everything but name !! granted it is the slightly quieter side of blackpool but blackpool none the less !!

Eh ? Not sure what you mean.

sgsmfi?

PM if necessary. 🙂

Blackpool

Keep us posted as to how you get on with the house, as for St Annes keep away from there, it’s not the place it used to be unless you’ve got up to half a million to spend:D

You won’t be laughing if you move there and you try and do the trip in the rush hour, as I said before it takes longer than 15 mins, but hey if you want to listen to a sgsmfi then crack on, I’ve done that trip hundreds of times, trust me I know.

I’m not moving up there and my missus doesn’t need to drive in rush hour.

However you are right – it does take a while to get up to Fleetwood from Cleveleys and longer to St Annes especially if you do the prom route.

I should know this as my parents live in Cleveleys.

I’d offer 10% less…or about 153.
The worse they can do is say no…then if you still want it you up your bid.

I wish I had that ‘smiley’ that pours a beer 😀
It is good to have the ‘Expert’ around LOL

LOL

Don’t you have to be able to fill in a D1 form to get a provisional licence in this country:D

it is 4 miles with no break in buit up areas to cleveleys but in reality as they are next door neighbours it is zero miles north blackpool to south cleveleys !! it’s blackpool !! if you take that long on the coast rd to reach fleetwood from blackpool i’d book your car into a garage !! even fleetwood is only about 15 – 20 mins drive taking it easy !!

I LOL’ed at this comment ! 😀

Sounds like it might have been bought to let with the garage being converted and she has been caught out with the slump, go in low and she can always say no, you can always increase your offer if refused. Agree with the see what the others went for. But remember these days it is a buyers market, not a sellers, so still go in lower. I would think offering way lower than you suggest, 130-140 ish as suggested by Tornado

Thanks for all the advice folks. 🙂

blackpool

fair enough it doesn’t have the golden mile , piers , or tower but blackpool it is just the quieter areas a little to the side !!

i do know as i live pretty much where the op does !! and have been there many times

cleveleys is directly next to blackpool with fleetwood shortly after

A half hour drive from Blackpool center to Fleetwood is not a little to the side.

Try zoopla,it will give you the last sale price of the property,what their estimate is and look on there for resent sale prices in the street.

Also if you do some digging on the net and as you say the owner has several property’s,they might have a business in letting them and be struggling.

Ive recently sold a property,id seen it up for a while,firstly for 170k then over several months dropping to 160k,it was empty,i asked around the area and found out it was a rental property,one nice lady gave me the owners name,i checked him out,he had 6 other property’s.3 of which where empty too and had been for a while.

Having checked out his wife (facebook) she posted her divorce had came through and was waiting for settlement….

I paid 100k for the property 2 weeks later.
