I sold my house to "A bloke in a pub". I was sat talking to my ex-boss and some other assorted bods when the question came up of what I was doing with the hovel when I moved to France. "I"ll take the first sensible offer" said I, "£XX,000" said boss's mate, a builder, "OK!" We were at our respective solictors' next morning.

An estate agent once gave me the keys to an empty house to show myself round. I needed a poo, there was some toilet paper there... so... I did :-)

Purchased our current house and sold our first flat by private sale without the help of estate agents, saved approximately £ 3000.00 ....... it's worth knocking on a couple of doors.

How is the land worth that much without planning permission?

I can't see it being too difficult to get permission on that plot, I'd be tempted myself if I had the funds to spare, but the price would have to be negotiable.

I was more interested in the title... "Character property"...? There is no property! Just the land! And what's with 'character'?

I wonder what the original house looked like? That could have had a lot of character. Also wondering why its been demolished.
