[Brighton] £1.75m for 2500 sq ft house in Roedean . Estate agents been drinking !

[BN9 BHA]

. Yes in Whitehawk houses do have sea views.

Both the houses I lived in didn't have sea views.
Day one in the first house, I looked out of the kitchen window and saw a car on fire.

Now that’s the Whitehawk I remember from my time in Kemp Town!

As an estate agent (at the moment!), I can assure you that the agent very rarely has anything to do with the asking price! Believe me, it’s really not in the agents interest to over-price, especially at the moment.

I would say any property on the market for longer than three weeks is ****ed and a 50k reduction won’t make the phone ring in many cases!

So who were the famous person(s) who owned it?

 

[LamieRobertson]

I used to live in Whitehawk, told people I lived in West Roedean
Moved up in the world now of course

Always said plumbers are a rich lot

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Im tempted I have to say. £1.5m should get it I reckon.

 

[The Spanish]

The particulars have Varndean/Stringer listed as the nearest secondary schools. That’s not right, is it?

There must be a school closer to Roedean than that

Longhill?

Yeah, it appears that sellers haven't quite caught up with the state of the market - 47% of properties currently on sale in Brighton have been reduced by an average of £28k. Perhaps the 'correction' in the market that some want is in progress.

 

[Triggaaar]

Why would anyone pay that much money to live on the road to saltdean it just doesn't make sense.

If what you're saying is correct, they won't. Why don't you get the address and look up how much it sold for last time.

Also prices dropped last few weeks due to Brexit worries. As someone has alluded to they can ask any price they like but what someone is willing to pay is a different matter!

 

[Triggaaar]

Wait, this thread is misleading. It's not £1.75m is it. It's a £1.75 to £1.85 guide price


I do like a bit of Estate Agent spin:
'Facing south for the sun, the house is in a prime position looking...' well, at the sun presumably.
Right, so you're saying it's got a north facing garden. Nice.

 

[Triggaaar]

What about Hill Drive, corner of Hill Brow as much as 1m over priced imho [emoji23]

Hill Drive, Brighton And Hove, East Sussex

**** me. £3m to have those dormers slapped in the roof.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

The Volks family

 

[Triggaaar]

They only need to get lucky once with a Londoner or Russian willing to cough up say £2.75m. Who go away elated in driving a hard bargain and ‘saving’ a quarter of a million.

I don't think your Londoners or Russian oligarchs got rich by being that stupid.

I don't think your Londoners or Russian oligarchs got rich by being that stupid.

But they did by buying a portfolio of expensive properties "allegedly" using other people's or states money and "allegedly" by buying any assets to squirrel away the cash and hide it from the authorities!

And have long since departed these shores, see Withdean Road...

Definitely - It remains to be seen quite how desperate people are to sell I guess....

Brighton Marina is a draw for the mega rich and posh, that’s why. ASDA, Master Mariner, Katarina Harvester, Nando’s, TGI Fridays. Always been the way. Monaco, Brighton Marina, Portofino, Ibiza Town, Capri, Miami Beach.

Brighton Marina aka Whitehawk-on-Sea
