Yet another bungalow in our village has been bought and the planning permission is up for it to be demolished and replaced with a dormer bungalow. These properties are around 60 years old and they dont come cheap, some are now 5, 6 and 7 bedroom properties and they do look fabulous, what I can't get my head around is, how is it cost effective, I think they will cost around £300,000 to buy (probably will be very dated and need updating), have really good sized gardens, surely it must cost £200,000 to rebuild, I have seen that 1 has been on the market for more than £700,000, so I suppose I've answered my own question, its a £200,000 profit!
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
