4 bedroom apartment for sale in Majestic Apartments, Onchan, Isle Of Man, IM3

Majestic Apartments


Think of the tax you would save?

[AtW]

Yes I am probably back for a bit - bad economic news should have helped sale

Welcome back Alexei!

What has cost you a grand?

Survey £650.
Conveyancing - not sure, but at least £300 so far
Feeling gobsmacked - just was getting ready for solicitor meeting: £10,000.

The bank had mortgage of £315k per flat there, tried to sell for £225k accepted £215k - then put another on market (still on rightmove) for £225 - maybe they lied about personnel change and someone just decided to buy whole lot

FK it, I might just get a new car then.

That's a lot for a survey.

You don't need a full survey for a new build as it has a 10 year warranty anyway.

Just get the cheapest survey if the bank insists.

Yeah, it's not very valueable work too - survey person is supposed to value place and the first thing he asked me how much I offered FFS!!!

£1/3 million for a flat <gobsmacked emoticon>

It must have been valued at £400k per flat at time of build - they had chance to only take 30% loss and blown it!

Unless someone stupid bought whole building
