nod Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 My wife and myself had a day out to visit the Harrogate build show Traffic was horrendous so we decided to park about a mile out and walk in We park right next to a new build site of quite large semis Immediately Deb said let’s look round on the way back ‘Kitchen bathroom ideas’ After a full day looking around the show we popped into the show house for a look round Five bed semi detached Not massive as the the fourth and fifth-office were on the top floor Nowhere for wardrobes which seem to be a theme with these three story mainstream new builds The fittings were cheap and the kitchen was ok but pretty standard The price wasn’t £775000 The mainstream builders just seem to be asking what they want for houses at the moment There is a group of eight being built about a mile down the road from were I live Not in the best spot 700 to 800 k Way above local prices unlikely to be as well built as what I’ve seen on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlewhouse Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Given the quality of the builds compared to what we on this forum all show can be done for less money, the hardest part must be for the developers not to keep sniggering as people queue up to hand their money over.

SteamyTea Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Always worth looking at the whole picture, rather than just an obscure quirk in the market. http://landregistry.data.gov.uk/app/ppd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Name a comparable town to Harrogate in the South and we can compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesgrandepotato Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Probably Winchester or poss Newbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Just done a quick and dirty analysis of house sales in Harrogate, Oxford and Poole, they are next to each other in population ranking (i.e. size of borough). Make your own minds up if Harrogate is a 'southern' town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) I am currently on a parallel that is equal to Bordeaux, and they pretend to speak French here. I think I am the only one that has been to France. Where I usually live, you are all Northerners! Edited November 5, 2017 by SteamyTea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
