12 months of my mortgage payments cost more than this house :o :o ;D ;D ;D
-
Would you live there... :D :D I wouldn't have it given ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
You don't have to live there
Just strip it out, get a bunch of lads in there to rebuild it with say 15 grand limit to play with.
Sell it as a virtual new build for 50 grand.
Hey presto, 20 grand profit for a months graft :y
-
If had cash, buy it out right & as above strip it and rent it out. Or just buy it cash and hold on to it for a few years, say around a decade? Nice little investment there i think

Thats the way to make money nowdays
You just need the money in the the first place to start and providing you use your nogin, you can not lose ;)

Investment ? Well maybe, on a very long term basis.
If you read the article it really is a seriously crap area, plus the house has been completely stripped bare. No I wouldn't have it as a gift. The only investment possibility would be to get it, try and make it secure, and hope that the area improves.

Make it fit for human habitation then rent it out.
I reckon you'd be looking at about £400-£500 each month. DSS welcome. ::)
Might make a good investment. :y
-
Location, location, location!!! ::)
Yes you could buy it for a pittance, spend £15,000 making it nice, but because it's in a crappy area, you'll find that decent people won't want to live there and you'll end up with crappy tenants who won't look after it and don't like paying rent!! ::) If you bought it to do up and sell on, you probably find it'd get stripped out again whilst waiting to be sold!!! :o
You could be buying a whole lot of hassle with this one.... :-\

+1 :(

Yes I wonder, WHY, it might be so cheap...? ::)
-
You would make more money by buying and renting out a parking space in London than you would buying that house.
Having said that,parking spaces in London can sell for a hell of a lot of money,depending on which area they are in.

Take a look around ..you may change your mind. :y...think the dogs walk around in pairs there ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You would need 24hour armed guards with orders to shoot to kill to protect your 'investment' on that Estate Mark! It was too expensive a liability at £750 tbh :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

A couple of streets down there is a donkey or pony in the front garden :-\ :-X

Agreed lots of boarded up houses the council / housing associations cannot rent out, it was said recently that there were some 4 bedroom houses available but no one wants them.... :( :( It's not all doom and gloom, there are some quite respectable people live on this estate... :) :)

Port Clarence is an awful area, wouldn't have that house given.
I'm proud to be from Teesside, but there's some terrible areas. You could drive in one end and drive out the other on your brake discs. They're really that bad!

I'm regularly in Port Clarence for work purposes*. It really is the shittest of the shit. I won't leave my vehicle unattended...
*no, I'm not a hooker

Prop Forward or Winger then GK? ;D ;)

Also, I've just noticed that it says "Port Clarence, Stockton". That's an insult even to Stockton.

Buy it, get loads of receipts for doing it up, insure it and burn it to the ground ::)

It's weird, but I think it is classed as Stockton-on-Tees. If you come down Portrack Lane, it's Stockton. Go down the Haverton Hill road past Tioxide (ICI), it's Billingham. Past Port Clarence is Stockton again. Turn left toward Seaton it's Hartlepool, go straight on to Transporter, it's Middlesbrough :-\

The official postal address is Port Clarence, Middlesbrough, but the area is serviced by Stockton Borough Council....it's North of the Tees...... ;) ;)

You wouldn't have to fraudulently do so - make it even vaguely nice and the locals will helpfully burn it down for you. Without being asked.
