even in 1975 it wasn't nice
Even in 1965 (that must have been about the time that I recall we shopped in the "old fashioned" Sainsbury's there) it wasn't "nice".
It was just about OK, no more
It was nice in 1920 something when my dad (and his Parents) moved there, but that was to an isolated road of private dwellings.
But when they surrounded it with 10,000 council houses in whenever it was, it ceased to be nice.
It was safe to walk the streets after dark though :-)

Ewemove were excellent for us.
Lived in Cedar Gardens for a while. Was nice then.
Still better than Mitcham :-)
Generally they will tell you if your offer is worth putting forward. They will normally encourage the buyer to make a "best and final" offer.
More like "Listen you parsimonious skinflint, the asking price is £350K, are you going to make s sensible offer, or are you just wasting my time?"
(they are obliged to put forward all proper offers - but will normally try and steer the buyer to not wasting time. The situation is not quite as cut and dried as whoever offers the most wins. The seller for example may favour an offer 2K below the best because its from a cash buyer, and hence there is a more realistic chance of a quick and low hassle sale).
(ever heard of google?)
The names and thresholds are different (as is the whole property buying process in scotland)
If it cost less than the threshold at the time then there would be none to pay.
You are very perceptive.
Ah yes - once you are south of the station, things start getting very civilised.

I'd heard it had gone, I must have been mistaken. Just the name changed= .
It would have been. Houses over that price in Scotland would have 10 be= drooms.
Mind you, if the seller pays it I might not have heard anyway.

Having sold several this year I would say it depends on the local market co ndition and timing. This year we (inside M25) have gone from utter madness with conveyancers working weekends to keep up with huge demand with the rus h to avoid the SD tax increase
All they need to do is go north away form the stupidly overpopulated overpriced cities.
... and where the vast majority of buyers are not British and certainly don't live in this country.
London is full of immigrants.
But most don't own their houses. What I was referring to was:
Yes they do: "all the nicest buildings in the best areas around Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are now owned by foreigners" from your own link!
My link refers to foreigners, not immigrants...
You must immigrate to be a foreigner.
Nope, foreigners who visit don't immigrate, they just visit.
