Last Friday Jamie and Roy from SSHC went with a housing surveyor from NWHS called Lee Anderson to take a look at three houses the Co-op is looking at buying. We'll be discussing these houses and our other options at Tonight's SSHC Meeting.
House 1: 899 Ecce RdThis was in me and Roy's opinion the best of the three houses. The asking price for the property is £220,000 but hopefully we'll be able to push that down a little.
- Potential structural problems (requires a survey) - Fairly far up Ecce rd (but on good bus routes) | |
House 2: 131 Northfield RdSecond choice of the houses, the advertising for this house misleadingly suggested there were 5 bedrooms and ample communal space in this house. There is only 5 bedrooms if we take away the living room in this house leaving it with kitchen and large dining room. The asking price for this property is £225'000.
- Limited communal space with five bed configuration - Far end of crookesmore (by Bole Hill park) - slightly bizarre furnishings | |
House 3: 6 Clemenstson RdA good example of the quality of current student properties. Small, dark and overpriced. Exactly what we're trying to get away from.
- Tiny Rooms (3 small single beds) - Very little communal space | (bedroom too tiny for photos) |
