    I live in a semi, there is a 2 bed detached in a modern estate a mile away in an oka area for £10K less than mine is worth – will cover the stamp duty nicely.
    How are you going to answer the "do you get on with the neighbours" question from potential buyers?

    How are you going to sell your house with all these vans and chit parked outside?

      Hence I need to get myself a banger to plonk on the road. Nothing I want to tax, insure and all of that, just to park on the road three foot from the end of my drive so I can ensure it is not blocked by a large van, and I have space to swing the car out onto the road.

      Got me thinking – as I have a limited company, any tax benefits in getting something like a knackered fiesta van or astramax diesel 2 seater effort, or as I am well to go to the auctions for the cheapest tat going?
      clearly you do not live in Wilmslow then.

        I remember when I sold my last house. You have to be truthful about your answer or it will come back and haunt you.
