New builds seem to get silly money.

WHS.Originally posted by sasguru View PostDon't know the area mind, but:
A large double garage.
Huge amount of land for horizontal expansion
A bungalow, so vertical expansion possible
No neighbours nearby
4 bedroom bungalow for sale in Love Lane, Hollywood, Birmingham, B47
That new build was utter rip off naff crap.

But that's the great thing about having such a large plot of land.Originally posted by AtW View PostHarbourne, Edgbaston and Mosely are good areas in Brum, everything else is a bit dodgy ...
Anyone who appears is up to no good and can be shot (postmen and other trades people excluded).

The area below seems to be suffering.Originally posted by AtW View PostDodgy area of Brum.
Crime map for Alvechurch and Wythall, West Mercia Police - Police.uk
but that's normal, the best bits in Berks can be right next to complete holes.

It's a nice area that as well. I used to work in Wythall just down the road.

No catch.Originally posted by d000hg View PostLooks quite nice - what's the catch Sas? It's not like you to be helpful.

If my budget was about £500K in Brum, that's the sort of thing I would be looking at, with a view to changing/extended it to my taste as and when I wanted.
The large flat garden and secluded location allows for that.
Allow say £250K for building and expansion costs and you could transform it into a > 1 million house quite easily.Last edited by sasguru; 31 March 2014, 14:21.

For £500k outside town, and not in the south, you'd damn well hope for something very nice though. That's serious money if you're not in a property hotspot.
