Every time I go to check houses in Kendal, this one comes up
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-...-14184651.html
Perfect! Lovely home, detached, tasteful decor, beautiful gardens, on a very quiet road, and right on a river. If anyone has about £400-£500,000 lying around that they don't need, shoot me a PM would you?

Even if I had money to burn, I don't think I'd spend £845,000 on a 2 bed flat! Especially one that's had all the character stripped from it.

Re: Location, location, location
Hi Iam... , Thanks for posting.
(Great name) Undoubtedly more for the money. This particular property is sandwiched between a busy road and the railway lines but I shall take a look.
It's all Mallory's fault ... I really like what I have seen of the Totnes area. Shall keep looking into that for the moment, then take a look in these other areas.

Re: Location, location, location
The worst thing is, I wonder if the people who are selling these homes know how their agents are not performing. They are probably sat there wondering why their houses are not selling. That is not to say all organisations give bad service, but I'll bet in the US, if you make a real estate enquiry, the agents will be swarming all over you.
And I have yet to find a shower that can deliver a constant stream of hot water.

Via the internet, I've been looking at hundreds of flats in the UK, and am surprised that so many have showers over the bath, even in retirement complexes, potentially hazardous for older people. I shall certainly have to check in person how the hot water performs. During my 3 months in Germany in 2009, my flat there had an appalling hot water supply, and other residents higher in the building would simply turn on the tap, and walk away for 15 or more minutes.

I think Totnes would be a great choice. Lovely town, and in a way a lot like Saltspring in "feel." If I were there, I'd want to live close in, though, not in the nearby countryside. The area down by the river is very pretty, but I suspect if there are houses near there they'll be very expensive.
If we hadn't been dead set on being by the sea, we might have looked seriously at Totnes.

Re: Location, location, location
I like the look of this type of Grade 2 listed done-up town bolt-hole (3 bed 2 bath) on a cul-de-sac, but would prefer it a bit cheaper, though it's already priced at that magic 249,500 pounds.

I don't need a garden, got one already.
Like the Totnes links to Exeter/Plymouth/Torquay each about half and hour on the train.
There are flooding issues in some riverside parts of Totnes.

Re: Location, location, location
The you haven't tried a shower that is attached to the mains (not an electric rubbish thing) and you'd need to have a good combi boiler for hot water and central heating. Thats what Mum has and we can shower one after the other then run the washing machine and still have hot water to spare. It heats as it runs.

Re: Location, location, location
If you qualify as a plumber then I would definately stay in the US. Who could resist that money? Do you like the decorations and furnishings in the UK homes? It is obvious that a large percentage of the population is colour blind.

Theres lots of unemployed plumbers around here, used to doing new builds that have dried up.
