Can anyone confirm if this is true???

I was told of this two days ago and it was repeated (albeit vaguely) this morning.

I knew things were bad there, but surely this is far too low. You'd rather give the keys to the bank, wouldn't you????

If anyone can give more details - but maybe doesn't want to post publicly - PM me.

Fortaleza

Thank you for the message. As promised, I will not divulge your details.

Suffice to say, it seems to be true.

This is absolutely incredible and cannot be good for the area. How can anyone expect to make anything off 49,000? (Or am I being naive?)

In a word....

Do you want me as a neighbour

Fred,

I wish I had clues to give you. That's what I'm fishing for now. I've done the phoning around the usual suspects to see what they know, and they are (on the whole) as suspicious as me - although none of them, tellingly, said they would be surprised.

Seriously, if anyone knows anything about this, please let us know. If it is true, it beats the previous record (that I know of) by a good €25,000.

Jur

On which website can it be viewed ?

Fortaleza

I'm sorry, Jur. Are you actually reading any of what has come before?????? The whole point is that it is totally UNCONFIRMED and we are trying to get a handle on whether or not it has happened. If there was a flubbing website this flubbing thread would be flubbing irrelavent FFS!!!!!!! Jeez!

Jur

I am paying attention, this comes from you 2nd post:
"Suffice to say, it seems to be true."

Interesting rumour though.

Fortaleza

..... In response to a reply I got from someone preferring NOT to use the public forum and contacted me privately (as I suggested in my OP).

Still curious to know if it is true or not as all I've got are 3 (my original two plus one) vague confirmations. I'd rather more.

Fortaleza

Sorry - looking back now, I see I didn't make myself clear. This is a SALE not a flat for sale. This is what supposedly a flat on Esuri has been sold for. It is not an offer (I STRONGLY doubt anyone would be foolish enough to advertise that price as on offer)

I see now, Jur, why you ask about the website. My bad.

marisol

there are people that are having a very bad time and they are forced to sell for any price.
Im really sorry for them

I agree with you 100%, having lived through something similar in the last recession I feel for the people who have had to do this, very sad.

Fortaleza

Still nothing 100% confirmed, so it could still be a rumour. Yet it seems to be that I'm not the only one who's heard this so.

And as you said, it is sad.

A & M

Do you know whether it's a bank repo or just a "distressed sale"? If it's a bank / mortgage lender repo / sale, they don't usually have much interest in selling for very much more than the punter owes on his mortgage.

marisol deserves karma for seeing the human side of the picture.

For whatever reason or price any property has been sold, it must be a good thing for the rest of the community (fees, maintenance, etc.)?
