The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Sold my (lovely) 1 bed garden flat in Pelham Road for 313k. I'd want at least a 2 bed for that money at that end of town. Up in the village, I agree.Originally posted by Lucifer Box View PostMerton, SW London. At the Mitcham end £350k will get you up to a two bed maisonette (but it will probably be close to a crack den), at the Wimbledon end, very little at all can be had that cheaply (maybe a studio or one bed flat in a nice-ish but not the best road).
I think it's all a bit odd in the outskirts of London at the moment, and agents all seem to have the jitters."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Quite. In my patch of SW19, £350k won't get you anything with more than one bedroom. A millionaire would be too poor to afford to buy a house in the really nice bits.Originally posted by sasguru View PostWhy? Don't blame the messenger.

You can buy a 2 or 3 bed flat in west London for that money, in a nice area, as always you have to brag.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Merton Road end.Originally posted by Lucifer Box View PostSounds about right from what I've heard. Out of interest which end of Pelham Rd? Gladstone Rd or Merton Rd end?
The sale was agreed in July but didn't complete until September. By that time there were 2 bed flats on Pelham Road (closer to town but without a garden) on the market for 320k. It was squeaky bum time for a few weeks."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
