Yeah same as- definitely not to my taste (but hey at the end of the day I'm not the one who is going to be living there! :lol: ) I think IMHO it's a bit overpriced for the general location and the fact that it's a one bedroom house :o Also as someone said previously it looks like the klitchen needs re-doing at some point. For that amount of money you could get a two bedroom flat (ok it's not a house but it's your first property after all isn't it, not like you're going to live there forever!). Plus with the second bedroom you have the scope to possibly rent it out (extra money towards your mortgage etc) and/or have it as a spare bedroom when people stay over etc etc. £150k could get you a nice two bed flat in fairford leys, watermead, friarscroft way, poets chase etc etc. Up to £160k somewhere like coy court, old bus station, flats near the weavers (can't remember what they're called). Just did a quick search on rightmove for you. Anyway, good luck whatever you decide! JILL :wave:

	it was an observation.

	On the scale of things, the colour of some cheap-ass tiles doesn't really matter does it. £50 + elbow grease, easy fix.
C2RL R	posted on 17th Mar 08 at 15:15
	green tiles and blue worktops dont go together too well do they!
myke	posted on 16th Mar 08 at 22:47
	Hello mate :wave: Looks pretty nice. Is that near the hospital? Only things that would concern me are the front door leading straight into the lounge, and that you'll need a pretty quiet washing machine as it's open plan.

	It is just a pathway to another cul-de-sac, no side windows and area is quite from walking round at night. thanks for the comment though!
neoquip	posted on 16th Mar 08 at 22:26
	offer £148k then the might say if you come to £151k you can have it. I bet they are more than likely wanting £155k seeing theres asking price is £157k house looks nice, is it at the end against a public footpath...... if so where doe that go to? will you get yobs passing your windows on the way to hang around a park/street corner??
