My three bed terrace was £125,000.
Front facing a park, second shower/loo room and cellar. I love my house.

GET IN!!!

Who do you keep in the cellar?

The dead lodgers and hitchhikers is my guess.

*gets in Blousie's house*
When I bought my flat in '98, it cost me £23k. When I sold it last year, it was worth £50k. I didn't get anywhere near that, but I still made a profit, just by owning it.

Well, that, and having someone else pay the mortgage on it.

I don't think mine will improve much in the near future but I didn't buy it as an investment.

( girlinthehole, Tue 29 Mar 2011, 12:58, Reply)

I didn't either
I bought the flat to live in, then within 15 months I moved down to englandshire to shack up with a scary old man I met on the internet. My mum was so proud...

A second INDOOR loo, though?
No. Same as the first one, it's down t'end of t'garden.

I actually remember having to use an outside loo when I went to visit my dad's home many years ago.
I hated it because of the spiders. Oh and my sister's house has one.

No wonder people used chamber pots back in the day.

some of the houses around my way still have an outdoor lavatory
as well as an indoor one.

My neighbours have one for example, but it is attached to the house. Mine was long ago assimilated into the kitchen (with the fixtures removed)

My mother's terrace in Winchester had an attached one she used as a shed
before sealing the outside and putting an internal door to her utility room. Quite common with houses of a certain age I'd imagine.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 29 Mar 2011, 13:15, Reply)

One thing I would change on my house is to have another
no need for the two of us, but would be good when we eventually sell.

My stupid neighbours have their boiler in theirs. I'm sure having a boiler outside the house isn't a good idea.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 29 Mar 2011, 13:20, Reply)

That sounds like a bad idea to me too.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 29 Mar 2011, 13:21, Reply)

Best place for it, I've moved several outside

depends on the sort of boiler surely?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 29 Mar 2011, 13:23, Reply)

Not really, I've set up mixtures of domestics in tandem, or commercials in tandem, but if it can be arranged I'll always go for an external boilerhouse,
Far easier for maintenance as well
