I thought the boy had done well and then I read your post. Bit negative, aren't you?

I'm just reading between the lines! It was quite a boastful post but had 'missed opportunities' written all over it in my opinion.

A little bit of effort in maximising your returns early on goes a long way.

Oxford is going mental at the moment. Looking to buy there and found a nice 3-bed terrace with decent garden in quiet road backing onto canal with nice views over allotments, just 3 mins walk from station. £395k. Bit too much for a 3-bed, but I bet it will be sold in a week.

Actually there is a flood of houses on the market now in Oxford - I know the area you talking about is it the Botley side of Said Business School? is it close to Sojo/Balckwells?
A couple of people I know bought slightly further (Hinsky - border of Oxford/Cumnor) its a lot more suberbia there and I think its quite nice - as for me I live the posh side of oxford but if I have to move then Hinsky area looks good and you can get more for your money.

MInd you the value of the house you are getting is that its central

Yep, you're spot on.

If I buy anything, it's going to have to be central. 10 mins on foot to Cornmarket/Broad St. max. Hell of a premium for it, but I'm one extreme or the other - way out in the sticks or city centre - don't do suburbia.

Hmm i'm surprised.

I would have though Oxford would be doing well for the BTL crowd with the very high student population. Have Brookes built more halls of residence?

They are doing well - only my friend thinks that the market has peaked he thinks his properties are not going to double price again in the next year or so - so he's taking the cash and putting it in another business, he's got loads of companies and businesses (very dodgy )

Ma 2 bed in Edinburger cost almost the same.
