David Mack Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 3 hours ago, matty40s said: Indeed that is the case, however, the orange barrage currently blocks upstream passage, and downstream is the large wier. Google maps shows this clearly. This property, and others downstream, have river frontage, but cut off by the string of orange sausages. Do their riparian rights entitle them to require CRT to provide a passage through/round the sausages? A few years ago weir stream entries like this would have been protected by nothing more than the odd pile with a "All craft keep right" sign, allowing boaters access to the frontages.

No VAT as such, but there is stamp duty which scales with the value of the house being purchased: https://www.gov.uk/stamp-duty-land-tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mack Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 And capital gains tax when you sell it if it is not your main residence. How that pans out for someone who maintains another residence overseas I have no idea. If that is you I would suggest getting some proper tax advice.

Athy Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Some of its features, both inside and out, remind me of one of the schools I taught in, a building which dated back to 1624. It would make a pleasant if perhaps small, prep school, with outdoor activities such as tennis and canoeing for the boarders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently some manage to avoid stamp duty even if UK residents. https://inews.co.uk/news/stamp-duty-property-tax-government-tony-blair-cherie-russian-billionaires-avoid-1241792 IIRC capital gains tax wasnt payable by overseas inhabitants, Im not so sure now, though as per above I imagine there's many legal loopholes. Its possibly one factor in London house prices, its been a draw for foreign investments for many years and has yielded much money for the economy on the back of it. Big issue moving forewords of course- apologies if approaching the lower section of the forum discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Pooley Hall that house has always been on our "if we ever had the money" list. It's a pleasant surprise to see the inside has retained some of it's features, such as the fantastic Eagle cooking range. Far too many places that look so interesting from afar are a disappointment inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This worked for the people who bought the flats around Limehouse Basin That will probably not work until we have a Green gubbinment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's St Pancras Basin that you see leaving St Pancras, and is indeed right alongside that house. Battlebridge Basin is near King's Cross, but not visible from the train. I believe that the St Pancras Lock cottage went for £805,000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building is still there and is still listed so won't change much without permission. What difference does it make who owns it? Apart from CRT not having to pay to maintain it, obviously.

Surely it needs to be remembered that the reserve price is the price the vendor won't sell below and generally it isn't public knowledge, so it may have made twice the reserve price.

With property auctions the reserve generally has to be within 10% of the guide price - just sold my late mother's house via auction and it was a juggling act to get the guide right in relation to the reserve we'd set and we had to adjust our reserve downwards slightly to get the right guide price set, so it should be possible to work it out approximately.

Sale price £303k. Gross yield 2.6%, but in reality much worse than that once maintenance costs, administration and void costs are loaded into the calc. Another sound commercial decision by CRT estate managers to dispose of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
