    Fuckin annoying isn't it? Me and my Dad have got a small building firm where we buy land and build the houses ourselves to sell. I've had one of the houses for myself off our current site and had to move in a couple weeks ago before it's finished to stop this thieving shit

    The scramels kept breaking in to the house to steal the tat (metal).

    In my house alone they smashed the patio window, screwed off all my new chrome sockets and switches whilst fucking up the electrics in the process. The pulled all the taps off the sinks and handles off my newly fitted kitchen. They also ripped the shower out of my bathroom.

    They would've damaged everything they took so they weren't planning to sell it on, just to weigh it in down the local scrap yard.

    The damage they caused has cost us more than what they stole, wankers!!

    Not only has my new house been a favourite for these metal magpies, my back garden appears to be the new dumping ground for a local builder. About a ton of rubble, fresh cut grass and other crap appeared there yesterday.

    Also where they have ripped the pipes out upstairs, it's left a leak that has damaged some of the ceiling downstairs.

    Little pikey bastards!

    Going to do one giant bonfire today though which is always fun!

    If I knew how to put pictures on here from my phone I could show off my giant bonfire I've been burning all day!

    Nothing better than a good fire.

    It was all shit. There is tons of it. Seriously, this place has more crap than you could ever imagine. Mountains of the stuff. I'm replacing everything, so it all needed to go somewhere.

    Nearly singed off all my eyebrows when I threw a bed on there!

    Yeah true. The pricks always make out like theres someone else, even when there isnt too.

    Its like House poker (except the dealer is a greedy pig who is only really interested in his take ) .

    Cheers guys.

    I went round and saw the guy and we shook hands at £173,000. The house is deffo worth that and it's the only house we want, so I have no concerns about it at all. I would've paid the asking price if I got outbidded, coz the house is that nice.

    3 Bed detached, triple drive, 3 bathrooms (1 = ensuite) 2 living rooms - it's the daddy!

    Let's just hope it all goes through ok.

    Sounds a nice house, as a man when you move in always set the TV first, that is the most important, then align the sofa and the rest will follow.

    Crazy innit Like I said before, just 30 miles up the road it would be around £300K. I live in quite a nice, affluent Tory stronghold area - but houses are just cheap as shit.

The house has only been on the market for 3 days, so they are obviously relcutant to sell too cheap, but I know they have money problems and therefore probably want to move straight away (which we can) It is in a very sought after area and I know that lots of people are already interested.

    They have asked for our final offer, so I think I will go back and £173,500 and bluff it as my 'walk away' price.

    Any advice?
    Tough call really, depends on you...

    If it is "The house" the one you see yourself spending the majority of your working life in then what's a few grand!

    If it is something you think you might try and flip and move on a few years then play tough and if it goes you will find something else.
