approaching a price i'd be interested in and an area i'd be interested in.

any experts on here who can work out it's size from the dimensions given?

Ok lazyboy, for the 8 rooms given, it's 991 sq.ft. Doesn't include kitchen and bathroom. Plucking average areas for those and another 5% for other internal spaces you might be talking 1,150 to 1,300 sq. ft.

For a five bed that means they've crammed in at least one room too many.

I think there might be a bit of mistake with dimensions on myhome. It looks spacious enough from outside and looking at pics. The sitting room width must be same as dining room so rather than 16'3"x6'10" it should read 16'3"x12'3"? That gives another 100 sq ft. I would guesstimate this at a 1500sq ft allowing for Kitchen which looks a decent size, bathroom common areas.

The bedroom sizes look ok from dimensions provided. So not a huge 5 bed and no ensuite but each of the single bedrooms are decent enough size for a child's room.

It's really annoying when EAs don't provide floor plans and can't be bothered giving overall size. And then f**k up the dimensions........

These houses from memory are better proportioned than one might expect from an idenitikit semi-d. They were built c. 1980 I think, so a slightly different era to nowadays.

Anyone any idea of what this house might be worth/sell for in the current market?

Also a little concerned of the nearby halting site, it looks well kept but has anyone had any issues that lives around here?

Only issue with the halting site is they occasionally dump rubbish over the back wall of the halting site onto the path alongside the Dodder. Other than that, no bother with them and you're more likely to be bothered by Roma's and Jehova Witnesses knocking door to door than itinerants.

......for now, but who knows what the future may bring

Mormons?

I was thinking more along the lines of People before Profit

Just heard from a buddy of mine that was bidding on this house and his dealings with the EA sound very wrong and odd!

They met the EA last week who advised them they were about to go sale agreed on an offer of 385K and that the vendors were now in the region of the money they wanted. My buddy puts in an offer of 3K more, the EA says he'll be back to him quickly and then never calls and ignores my buddy’s calls for a week. The EA eventually answered his phone yesterday evening and tells him the offer was refused last week straight away and my buddy is like why didn't you advise me of that as he has been waiting to hear and the EA says mix up in communication????

According to the EA the vendors aren't even interested in offers of 390K now. Either this EA is playing a very dangerous game selling this house or the owners aren't serious about selling. The whole situation seems very odd.

Some positive news in the papers about rising asking prices, suddenly the vendor thinks they can get the 425k?

I think somebody needs to explain to both the EA and Vendor that rising asking prices doesn't mean increased actual prices. I have only seen one property in SCD achieve over its asking in the last two years. Very little stock on the market at the moment and the majority of stock coming on is better too. Time will tell!

385k = circa 10% below asking price.....the vendors should bite your mates arm off. their loss

I would have thought so too, I wonder if the EA even gave the vendor the offer. Then To leave a potential buyer hanging one week if the offer was declined straight away is so unprofessional and rude. Can't understand why the EA wouldn't call within a few days to try and get the offer up. There is something about it that stinks!

EA's are useless and inept IMO....so don't read too much into it
