Internally the houses are in shell condition

Looks like the locals didn't mess about too long!

Anyway, I am surprised that these places were never sold off at the end of the series.

From the BBC story, I think they were and this is the original buyer re-selling them.

Can someone please explain this to me as I have never understood the point of it...

'Long Leasehold. Each property is held on a lease for a term of 999 years from 1st January 1978 (thus having approximately 969 years unexpired) at a current ground rent of ranging from £31 to £41 per annum.'


why have a 999 year lease, why not just sell the whole thing ?

Is the underlying own going to will it to their future descendents ?

There seem to be a few places in the country where the Freehold of the land is held in trusts or complicated grants so can't be sold off and houses as a consequence have long leases.

I know much of Lytham and St Annes is like this and even quite old houses (Victorian 100+ years) have leasehold rather than freehold arrangements.

That's better.
Does the price include full use of Anna Friel?

My wife works with her mum.

What does Harry Enfield's scouser's phrase have to do with the auctioning of the cumberland hotel in London?

That's odd, I got the Cumberland Hotel first time as well.

Anyway, I am surprised that these places were never sold off at the end of the series.
