would you buy this property

If a house is sinking then you could throw loads of money at it as macho as you like

I know what you are saying but you are reflecting what most people will say when they hear it may have subsidence which is to walk away without getting the facts.

As long as it can be addressed, and this is reflected in the price, you could make a tidy profit by 'flipping' it.

Clippy in Donald Trump mode.

If it's over an old coal mine I don't think a bit of underpinning is going to do much!

Round my way the local builders and established property developers have got the estate agents sown up so they get first nod at any interesting properties that come their way, before the public are made aware of it. If they've let this one go then there's some serious issues or not much money in it to make it worthwhile.

My expertise is based on Property Ladder, so obviously I'm an expert.

seen a mid terraced 1970's property in a block of 6 terraces. Dirt cheap, needs d/g and some plastering etc doing internally. only thing is the property on the end of the terrace, 3 doors away, is suffering some visible subsidence, cracks up the exterior walls etc, and the chap next to that house says he has some cracks internally.

estate agent swears on his mothers grave it isnt a problem since its a mid terrace. what do u think, is it worth the risk?

Why not buy some shares. Shares don't need much maintenance. I painted mine last week, and I reckon that should be it for the next 10 years.

I think that happens all over the UK with agents being paid off by developers or keeping stuff back for their family and friends.

Somewhere built in the 70s that is substancially moving will IMHO have problems and be very difficult to sell on. Find out what is is built on??

tsskk... bloody amateurs, everyone knows "Homes Under The Hammer" is the most informative property program on TV and if it all goes wrong just give Nick Knowles's a call and he'll send his DIY SOS team to sort it out free of charge.
