MF's suggestion sounds the most plausible though, as land is about £10K an acre in the south west.

That's great news! My old man's place is on the market to pay for his care. Perhaps we can crank the price up a bit!

£289k was cheap for all that anyway. You sure the house and the rest weren't sold separately and then added together.

Cornwall Property prices doubling in two weeks?
I was quite impressed by this place in deepest Cornwall
5 bedroom detached house for sale in Trenear, Helston, Cornwall TR13 - 30222937 - Zoopla
until I noticed it had last been sold on 26th Sep 2013 for £289,000 and was put up for sale barely two weeks later on 12th Oct 2013 for £499,950 !
Either that first date is a typo, for 2003 perhaps, or this is one of the cheekiest piss takes in property marketing history. I mean in two weeks they'd barely have had time to move in, let alone give the place a makeover.
Maybe I'll ring the estate agents first thing on monday, and offer £400K, pointing out the huge profit the vendor will still be making.Tags: None
