    Good luck with the conversion.
    PM me details - current house is awash with pictures that need framing, and we'll have a LOT of wallspace!

      Its cheap because it's in Todmorden. A place where electicity is seen as being the work of the devil!
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        he is in the right place, a de-consecrated church!

          You wouldn't believe how many people wing it - the funny thing is, a lot of people who buy at auction have been in property for years so should know better.

            strikes me unless there are serious problems with the property it looks like a bargain.

            Planning permission granted, No graveyard and the services are in, so long as its not about to fall down or the listed status is causing problems then its worth a lot more than £150k. Actually would have thought most contractors could pay that from the change dish.

              I'm confused from the photos, it looks like it's still a church AND a house?

                I was surprised at how many people didn't bother to take any ID with them, despite it being all over the catalogue, the website, the registration form (which you need to complete before they give you a bidders number)...

                I almost bought a road in London yesterday as well, but MrsF would have killed me. It's addictive this auction malarkey.

                  It's funny you never see any Mosques or Synagogues up for sale do you?

                  Anyone get the feeling Christianity is doomed....

                  Anyways, well done and good luck. It's not as impressive or expensive as sasguru's Surrey mansion, but it's certainly interesting and exciting build project I'm sure.

                    Christianity is simply adjusting to the number of people who are actually Christians, rather than a state religion where everyone goes to church as a matter of course. When you think how every tiny village used to have a chapel or church, clearly that is overkill - you don't see mosques closing because there are hardly any of them in comparison!

                      Would that make it the house of God?
